US schools — and students — will pay a price for Biden’s open borders for minors

The New York Times

The Biden administration is scrambling to shelter thousands of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border from Central America. Which means the crisis at the border will also be heading to your school district soon. 

If your kids are in public school or you pay school taxes, you need to know the facts.

The media show photos of young migrant children. Yet three-quarters of these unaccompanied minors are young men ages 15 to 17. 

These teens are carrying the name and phone number of a relative in the United States who will sponsor them. A few weeks after surrendering to border officials, they’ll board buses to Los Angeles, Houston or New York City — the three most common destinations — or elsewhere in the United States where their sponsor lives.

It’s the beginning of a hard road. The law requires them to go to school. But they’ve endured trauma on their trek and missed months or years of schooling. Few speak English, and many don’t even know Spanish, only a Native American language.

Their education will cost thousands of dollars a year more than for the average student because they’ll need linguistic experts, tutors, psychological counseling, vaccinations and other support.

They’ll also consume most of a classroom teacher’s attention, leaving the rest of the class to make do with less. 

Even so, only 66 percent of students without English skills ever graduate.

They will struggle, but so will our own kids. This migration wave is hitting schools just as they’re reopening after the pandemic. Students have missed an entire year of school activities.

For school districts with tight budgets, the added costs of educating these young newcomers will mean an end to art classes, band and orchestra and other enrichment activities.
