Border-crossers are displacing American students nationwide
Democrats’ open border is turning the entire United States into a refugee camp. The record-breaking numbers of foreigners allowed to break U.S. border laws are most heavily affecting large and sanctuary cities like New York City, but the numbers are so high they can’t help but affect cities across America as well.
Yesterday, a Brooklyn high school informed parents their children will be getting low-quality remote instruction because their school is being turned into a refugee camp. The 4,000 students are being displaced on behalf of approximately 1,900 foreign lawbreakers. In spring 2023, city officials also occupied school gyms with migrants, prompting safety concerns from parents about unvetted, military-age male foreigners sharing buildings with their kids.
As the “Louder with Crowder” blog notes, “Brooklyn went 74%-25% to Joe Biden, whose policies started the current border crisis. Also, pro-illegal immigration Governor Kathy Hochul won Brooklyn 72% to 28%.”
This is just a stark illustration of a phenomenon affecting the 50 million American K-12 kids still seriously struggling to recover from three years of lockdown learning damage. Just as they’ve gotten back into schools, American kids everywhere are being placed in classrooms with even more illegal migrant kids who don’t speak the language, don’t share our customs, are in high-risk circumstances linked with bad classroom behavior, and whose trafficking into America is swelling the fortunes of evil cartels.
A slightly earlier mass influx of foreigners, mostly Somalis, to the Midwestern Twin Cities has helped turn parts of the city and its schools into no-go zones. A majority of staff feel unsafe in high-violence St. Paul schools, and only one in five students in that district are meeting math and reading benchmarks. Foreign-born English language learners are the least proficient in reading, with aggregate scores even lower than those of homeless kids.
Statewide, Minnesota kids’ latest reading and math scores are the lowest on record. Kids don’t learn anything in those schools except violence-justifying racial grievance ideology. At this point, they’re not actually schools; they’re juvenile detention centers. A key factor making them juvenile detention centers is Democrats’ influx of illegally present foreign-born kids.
It’s completely impossible for a teacher to help kids seriously learn when several in a classroom don’t even speak English and arrive with little foundation for learning. Creating this situation is stiffing all the kids already here, who in cities like Minneapolis already enter school struggling. Further stretching already broken public institutions is not charity — it’s avoiding existing responsibilities.
The open border is rapidly replicating these circumstances across the country. The Biden administration is depositing pockets of “refugees” and fraudulent asylum seekers in flyover cities, making the border problem national. An Afghan “refugee” relocated to Billings, Montana was quickly charged with rape, which some Islamists consider a form of jihad. In Europe, “refugee” influxes have accompanied dramatic increases in rape. The Billings migrants also enter a city with already overcrowded schools.
Sioux City, Iowa schools are majority-minority, a dramatic and quick change. The district pays for services that help translate English into more than 150 languages. Most kids in the district are under the federal poverty level, qualifying them for multiple welfare programs and subsidies.
The same is true in Chicago, Boston, Denver, Washington D.C., and smaller cities across the American heartland. Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, Wichita, and St. Louis all dramatically increased in foreign-born residents from 2010 to 2019 by 10 to 50 percent, and given border data since Biden took office, it’s certain that has seen yet another spike.
All these school districts were lower-performing than the rest of their states even before lockdowns and migrant dropoffs. Those two have made things even worse for everyone in town and everyone across the nation funding this national self-destruction. Admitting illegal border crossers to public schools violates American citizen children’s rights, secured in most state constitutions, to an effective education.
It is not the American government’s job to teach every poor kid in the world English, give them breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and provide their housing and health care. It sounds charitable, but it’s really an abdication of the government’s core duty to secure the rights of its own citizens. It is logistically impossible and existentially destructive for American taxpayers and communities to be forced to accept massive numbers of people whom our social institutions radicalize against this country rather than assimilate.
It’s ridiculous to think Americans should tolerate our libraries, schools, public parks, shopping malls, and every other public area made completely inhospitable by people breaking our laws and stealing our peace. This is our home, and we have a right to evict all trespassers who exploit our goodwill and generosity. Nobody would tolerate squatters in his living room because that violates Americans’ natural rights to affirmatively consent to those who would join our communities, as well as to property and safety.
New York City residents are dying in the streets in droves. Native kids in their schools can hardly read and write by eighth grade. It’s utterly ridiculous to think that city or any other should be doing anything for random foreigners when it cannot keep its own people from dying in their bodily excretions on the curb. The solution to refugee camps is not to make them cover the entire country.

What are the challenges faced by American students in schools where a significant number of foreign students are being accommodated through the open border policy?
Title: The Impact of Democrats’ Open Border on Education in the United States
Introduction:
The current open border policy implemented by the Democratic administration is having far-reaching consequences for cities across the United States. The significant numbers of foreigners allowed to enter the country illegally are not only affecting large and sanctuary cities like New York City but are also straining resources and impacting education systems nationwide. This article examines the consequences of this open border policy on schools and its implications for American students.
Schools transformed into refugee camps:
The recent case of a Brooklyn high school illustrates the challenges faced by American students due to the influx of foreign lawbreakers. The school announced that it would provide low-quality remote instruction to accommodate approximately 1,900 foreign students, thereby displacing 4,000 American students. This situation has raised concerns among parents about the safety and educational quality in these schools.
Negative impact on American students’ learning:
The influx of migrant children who do not speak English and lack a solid educational foundation poses a significant challenge for teachers and existing students. Placing American students in classrooms with non-English speaking peers hampers their learning experience and impedes their progress academically. This issue is exacerbating the existing struggles faced by American students, particularly those in cities like Minneapolis, where many students already enter school with educational disadvantages.
Violence and academic decline:
Moreover, cities like St. Paul have experienced an increase in violence within their schools, directly impacting the safety and education of students and staff. Recent surveys indicate that the majority of staff feel unsafe in these high-violence environments, leading to a decline in math and reading proficiency among students. This decline is further exacerbated by the lack of proficiency in English-language learning among foreign-born students, with aggregate scores even lower than those of homeless students.
National expansion of the problem:
The open border policy is not limited to major cities but is expanding the problem to smaller cities across the American heartland. Cities such as Billings, Montana, and Sioux City, Iowa, have witnessed rapid demographic changes, resulting in overcrowded schools and increased demand for language translation services. Even cities like Chicago, Boston, Denver, Washington D.C., Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, Wichita, and St. Louis have experienced significant increases in foreign-born residents, exacerbating the strain on already struggling education systems.
Conclusion:
The open border policy pursued by the Democrats is turning the United States into a de facto refugee camp. The consequences are most acutely felt in large cities, where schools are being transformed into overcrowded and potentially unsafe spaces. However, the impact is not limited to these cities alone but is rapidly spreading across the country, burdening education systems already struggling to recover from pandemic-related disruptions. It is essential to address these challenges and prioritize the education and safety of American students rather than neglecting existing responsibilities by accommodating illegal migrants. Only then can the United States ensure a strong educational foundation for its future generations.
