Copied and pasted from a wash post comment. Seems appropriate to post.
"Unaccompanied alien chiildren placed into Fairfax county by year (required by law to be educated)

FY 2016: 1,321
FY 2017: 966

This is a spike from prior years, most of these are from Guatemala and El Salvador (MS13 ridden, and the reason for our rise in MS13 crime)
4220 new alien children place in FCPS at a cost to educate of $14,767 per student (source FCPS website)
Means illegal alien children (unaccompanied crossings without parents placed into foster care in our county) has increased our county education costs by:
$62, 316, 740 / year to educate these illegals placed her by HHS. Taxpayers have to foot the bill.
This is a conservative estimate. Since these kids are mostly ESL learners, the actual cost is much higher."
