They may not have much humanity in them, but they care a lot about their tax dollars.

Credit to someone named Penguinn at Daily Kos:
.
Making some assumptions, which are certainly not completely accurate, but I will use them for the sake of argument: These 800,000 individuals attended public schools, and have now graduated and they attended schools were the average expenditure per student equals the average cost in North Carolina to educate a student through high school.

Based on these assumptions, when Drumpf kicks these people out of the country, he will THROW AWAY a combined public investment in their educations of $113,621,600,000.

These people will go to some other country and use the education US taxpayers have paid for to enrich the economies of other countries while paying taxes to, among other things, educate the next generation in those foreign countries.
