The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, Trump wants to change the census so Illegal immigrants aren't counted, which would foul things up even more. I live in Florida ad don't begrudge paying higher taxes for schools, and a councilman told me we are being apportioned for police, fire, admin and school buildings for a new development next door.

"The U.S. Census Bureau does not directly allocate funds or specific dollar amounts for the education of undocumented immigrants. It counts all residents, including undocumented individuals, to determine congressional apportionment and state-level representation
. While this count influences the distribution of federal funds for education, it is not a direct, line-item allocation.

Impact on Funding: Census data is used to calculate federal formulas for school funding (such as Title I, Part C for migrant education), which are distributed based on student population, not legal status."

There's always something to resent when it comes to taxes. :) We don't benefit from kids until they enter the workforce according to some people, but I don't mind at all assisting in kids education until they do and I have no kids.
