Most Western democracies try hard to find school places for all children, even if some have to travel more than a mile to get to primary school. I would be interested to know if there are any democratic countries which prioritise school places based on how many years or generations a family has lived in the country - I think most people would see this as discrimination. The best way to integrate immigrants to our society is not to stigmatise their children and place them in a few 'sink schools' - these are short-termist policies of only the most extreme in British politics.

State education is not based on how much tax you have paid, it is about educating future generations to pay our pensions and make their own contribution to our country.
