Quote:As a massive storm approached the Big Apple this week, nearly 2,000 undocumented migrants were told to flee from a large tent shelter, forcing students at a Brooklyn high school to vacate the classroom and go fully remote as the migrants took over their school spaces.

Officials moved a portion of the migrants inside the second-floor gym at James Madison High School, which is five miles away from the shelter, since they were “afraid that [the] large migrant tent at Floyd Bennett Field might collapse” due to heavy rain and wind.

However, the last-minute decision did not sit well with neighbors and parents of the school.

“This is f—ed up,” said a local resident who referred to himself as “Rob.” “It’s a litmus test. They are using a storm, a legitimate situation, where they are testing this out. I guarantee you they’ll be here for the entire summer.”

“There’s 1,900 people getting thrown into my neighborhood, half a block from where I live, and we don’t know who they are,” he continued. “They’re not vetted. A lot of them have criminal records and backgrounds, and we don’t even know.”

Just before 6 p.m., as the migrants arrived in a line of school buses in the pouring rain, an enraged mother lost her temper with them.

“How do you feel? Does it feel good?” asked the woman, who identified herself as “Michelle.” “How does it feel that you kicked all the kids out of school tomorrow? Does it feel good? I hope you feel good. I hope you will sleep very well tonight!”

“How do you feel stealing American tax money?” said another parent who wished to remain unidentified.

School administrators announced that classes on Wednesday would continue to be conducted remotely due to “the activation of James Madison High School as a temporary overnight respite center” for the undocumented migrants.

With severe rain and gusts blowing up to 70 mph on Tuesday and into Wednesday, local officials concerned for the safety of the migrants decided to remove them from the area.

“To be clear, this relocation is a proactive measure being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals working and living at the center,” said City Hall spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak. “The families are already in the process of being temporarily relocated and will continue to be provided with essential services and support,” she added.

“The relocation will continue until any weather conditions that may arise have stabilized and the facility is once again fit for living,” she continued.

Ten NYPD vehicles and six Emergency Management trucks were positioned outside the high school at lunchtime as preparations for the arrival of the migrants from the airstrip, which was approximately five miles away, were underway.

“They told us we had to get everything out by 5 [p.m.],” said school gym teacher Robyn Levy. “They sent us the email at 6 in the morning. I don’t know when we’ll be able to go back.”

More than twenty school buses gathered at the football field, signaling the start of the migration movement just before five o’clock in the evening.

The 2,000-bed tent facility took a beating last month when strong winds and heavy rain caused metal bolts and hinges to fall off the roof. This was also not the first time extreme weather has caused problems for the facility.

“The wind was so strong, it looked like the tents were going to give way and be blown apart,” said Venezuelan migrant Reibi Rodrigues. “When we told security we were afraid of an imminent collapse, they told us the door was open and we could leave when we want.

Out of the 162,000 undocumented migrants who have entered the five boroughs from the U.S. border since the spring of 2022, at least 70,000 are still in the city’s care.

Additionally, the city set up migrant tents at the former Creedmore Psychiatric Center in Queens and Randall’s Island in Manhattan. Mayor Eric Adams maintained on Tuesday that these locations are less exposed and are “not thought to be susceptible to severe weather.”

Sources say that many of the undocumented migrants have now begun to go back to the tent shelters. However, students from the Brooklyn-based high school are still reportedly being forced to work remotely, prompting parents to demand answers from school administrators and city officials.

In Chicago:

I wondered when someone would post about this.

'invasion' ... what's that, ya say, eh?!

The Federal Government has so many empty offices and empty buildings. But it would much rather pass bills to spend more money. How bout enforcing the law and not let them in? I can't go anywhere in the world without proving who I am and being allowed in.

Border-Jumpers Are Pushing American Kids Out Of School All Across The Country

Quote: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.

They voted for it.

So, now we get it.

The 'Rona was really more of a dry run to see if the American people would tolerate our kids being forced from their formal schooling into this mostly useless "remote" crap.

Some areas/schools have reported that as much as 1/3rd of students had ZERO contact with any teacher once this was initiated.

Great. on their own, no supervision, no learning of any sort taking place so raising a generation of kids raised by Tok Tok and will likely be wards of the State in one form or another. And we wonder how these gangs of hundreds of kids manage to congregate and completely wipe out entire retail stores in a matter of minutes. Welp, here ya go.

We can now invite in the entire 3rd world who are also ignorant and unfamiliar with the unique American culture and have no regard for who we are as a society. Seems we have plentuy of room now if we send THEM to our schools instead of the kids who should be there.

You live in a sanctuary city. Remember virtue signaling has consequences. It’s easy to puff up your leftist chest and refuse to enforce federal law when you’re nearly 2500 miles from the Southern Border counting on states there to take care of the illegals. It’s a different story when the immigrants are bused north to take advantage of your sanctuary city.

Sucks to be an American to be displaced in your community by those who have no business being there. You would hope NYC residents would vote for a change but it’s probably not bad enough yet.

Actually they didn't. They voted for Trump.

Hopefully they'll keep sending non-stop bus loads to NYC and other sanctuary cities.

We'll look back on this period beginning in late 2019 as a time when we produced the largest numbers of uneducated, ignorant and unqualified people in our history all while being invaded by the largest numbers of uneducated, ignorant and unqualified people in our history.

In 50 years the greatness of America will have been written out of the history books and the liberties we achieved and then allowed to slip away will be the stuff of myths and infamous legends.
