As Biden’s border crisis rages on, the migrant surge is overwhelming communities across the United States.

In May of 2023, as part of an effort to deal with the massive influx of migrants, New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams announced his plan to house illegal immigrants in public school gyms in May 2023.
While public outcry ultimately put a stop to this school takeover, a dangerous precedent has been set, and other cities are reportedly looking at putting similar plans in action, such as Chicago.

Schools should be focused on providing the best opportunities to their students, who are already suffering from post-pandemic learning loss, not taking aways their access to safe physical education and extracurricular activities.

Additionally, housing illegal immigrants in school gyms poses a significant safety risk to the young students at those schools and disrupts their learning environment.

H. Res. 461, introduced by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, condemns housing illegal immigrants in elementary and secondary school facilities.
House Republicans are fighting to make sure that children in schools aren’t suffering because of President Biden’s refusal to secure the border. Will Democrats join us in supporting students and schools, or will they continue to fail to act?
