I did leave out the article that stated about a dozen hospitals in Arizona have gone bankrupt in the last ten years. I'll post it if you think you can't take my word for it.
And do I really have to spell it out that Spanish speaking students come from Spanish speaking parents that are usually illegal immigrants and that the english speaking ones are the ones that have been here a couple of generations or more?
Or perhaps we should adopt the mess that Canada has with a French speaking province.
Yeah, great idea. Laws protecting Spanish speakers and forcing English speakers to do business first in Spanish and then second in English.

I would like to see the article that claims a dozen hospitals in Arizona went bankrupt due to unpaid bills by illegal immigrants. I suspect your immigrant problem isn't any worse than my old homestate (California) and isn't too far ahead of the one I am currently in (Oregon). I suspect the issues are far more complex than you are potraying here.
You could spell out your claim, yet your article doesn't support the assumption you are making. Firstly, there isn't anything even remotely close in your evidence stating that Spanish speaking children are "usually" (as in, the majority) the offspring of illegal immigrants. Secondly, if those children are not illegal immigrants but were merely born here (albeit to illegal immigrants) then they are
citizens. Are you proposing they should be denied equal protection simply because their parents migrated here illegally?
Citizenship stems from birth on our soil and every citizen has a rightful claim to the amenities of
our country. If you think the essential structures aren't being funded enough then you should rethink your stance on tax cuts and the manner in which schools are funded.
