What to do with the 12-20 million illegals all ready here? It's a head scratcher...
IF in fact Texas watches the bus loads of illegals come and go over the border for "school", why is that? Are the numbers so big they can't get a handle on it? Something to do with money? Federal laws interfering with legal action? What's going on there? Not only Texas, is the same kind of thing happening in other states?

Again I hear you.
Amnesty does what? I know it generates more population on the books and causes more politicians to be on the DC payroll as US Representatives. That's more overhead for the taxpayer to support. And of course that would be a heavier leftist voter turnout which would generate more social tax programs and so on and so on.
Interesting question about border cities and the bus loads of school children. I am assuming you used the word "IF" because you doubt if this is true.
I typed in "illegal school children going to Texas schools" and got 508,000 hits.

You can tell the school districts are trying to obey the law, but so much is dependent upon trust. The school districts are not police and don't have resources to check every child.
Hispanic children represented a majority of kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade classes last year and made up nearly 49 percent of the state's total K-8 enrollment.

As you can tell the schools K-8 are 49% hispanic in Texas but along the border the number is very high. They can't keep them out as long as the feds let them cross the border.
If an illegal alien moves into Texas, the courts say Texas is forced to educate his kids without any tutition or reinbursement from the parents regardless of their legal status.
As far as your saying "proper safeguards in place"....just stop right there...you're preaching to the choir. I hear you...I agree with you........but it won't happen!.....I'll say it again, it won't happen!
Lastly: "is the same kind of thing happening in other states?" I don't know about other states.
