Alan, my mistake, I did not see that part in the article.

Yes, the Supreme court ruled many moons ago, that any child in the USA, can receive a public education.
Is it free? As free as it is for American citizens I suppose...but property taxes, and sales taxes, and state income taxes, and federal funds, and Lottery funds, casino gambling funds, among other things, all go towards it.
Just by their mere existence, more taxes and funds are going towards the monies that are spent on education....not enough to cover them completely, I realize.
but if these children go to see a doctor and pay the doctor, even if with federal or State funds, the Doctor earns more and pays more in taxes....
and even if these children are getting food stamps or some help, they buy the food to feed them from the grocer, who has to hire more employees, who pay taxes and will pay more in business taxes for the increased sales....
and the same if these children go to the dentist, he will make more and pay higher taxes....
and the same with the department stores that they buy their clothes at, they will make more and thus pay more in business taxes and collect more in State sales taxes....
so, there is only one thing assured once born, taxes to be made off of your existence, and death to come....(even if illegal)
