Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Oklahoma Ryan Walters spoke to Fox News Digital about his request on Tuesday.

In August, Walters tasked the department to work with school districts to calculate the financial impact borne by taxpayers on illegal immigrant minors. That analysis resulted in an estimate of $474.9 million, which he demanded of Harris in the letter. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
"This demand amount is, by necessity, an estimate because only your administration knows the true number of illegal immigrants crossing this nation’s borders and the actual costs of illegal immigration," he said, calling for Harris to conduct a potentially more accurate accounting of the costs incurred by Oklahoma schools.
