So, you are perfectly fine with spending US money on the illegal migrants as long as its inside the USA, but as soon as I suggested that the problem may be solved "at home", eliminating the need for those illegal migrants to be illegal at first (and quite probably migrants as second), you started to scream that it's a highway robbery, and it's against the US interests).
Several things about that.
1: You are going off of a statement by Imaginos that schools in his area are "full of illegal immigrants", a statement that he didn't source. So, what is the number of children of illegal immigrants in the California school system? How much in tax money is spent on their education?
2: The only argument you came up with in this chain of posts was "but what if the immigrants' country of origin started confiscating property of US corporations, that's theft!", which... a) isn't something I would call a bad thing on general principles and b) has got nothing at all to do with an american griping about how a tiny fraction of his personal tax load is going toward educating children that aren't US citizens.
3: For any individual US citizen, the "damage" being done to them is almost imperceptible.
4: There is a vast difference between you paying taxes and those taxes paying for things you don't approve of, and a state deciding to confiscate properties owned by foreign interests. To compare the two, if it is indeed an example of "russian logic", makes me wary of "russian logic" as a valid way to look at the world.
Despite the fact that both actions are, in fact, illegal, and the only difference is that the first affect US taxpayers, and the second affect mostly US corporation interests. Yeah, a lot of "humane and progressive thinking".
A school system deciding to spend money on educating all children, not just those of full citizens, is not illegal by any stretch of the imagination.
A state deciding that they need to confiscate foreign-owned assets is also not illegal. It might violate WTO treaties and trade deals, but the action itself is not illegal (Try proving something, anything a state is doing within its own borders is illegal under its own laws. Good luck with that.)
