The tidal wave of illegal immigration has crashed into America’s public school system, creating a disaster that taxpayers and students alike are forced to navigate. “Sanctuary” states, typically bastions of open-border policies, are finally starting to holler about the chaos that ensued as they rolled out the welcome mat for tens of thousands of illegal alien children. Case in point: Manhattan schools in New York are facing such an overwhelming influx that children with disabilities and special needs might find themselves banished to far less suitable locations, essentially being pushed out of the academic arena.
But New Yorkers aren’t the only ones feeling the squeeze; enter Oklahoma, where the state government has decided enough is enough. Officials are not just grumbling in the corners; they are taking action by suing the Biden administration. This lawsuit, spearheaded by the Oklahoma State Department of Education and Superintendent Ryan Walters, calls out the chaos inflicted by reckless open-border policies that have turned schools into overcrowded battlegrounds. With fervor, Walters asserted that the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have deliberately set the stage for this madness.
This Red State Is Suing the Biden Admin Over the Impact Illegal Immigration Had on Schools https://t.co/pVQeGNGPun

Oklahoma schools are seeking restitution for the exorbitant cost of educating illegal alien children. The state is demanding a whopping $470 million back from the feds, citing the massive financial burdens posed by educating nearly 3,000 unaccompanied migrant children. With an average expenditure of $11,000 per student, the numbers really add up, and it doesn’t take a genius to see that something is amiss when the bill from the federal government results in fewer resources for local kids.
Walters has been more than vocal about the fallout from this educational crisis. He describes a public school system that is practically overrun, where the resources needed to support both illegal immigrants and the citizens’ children are being stretched thinner than a budget-friendly slice of pizza. The reality is that when schools are crowded with students who shouldn’t even be there, opportunities for American kids dwindle. Parents, meanwhile, are left wondering why their tax dollars are being used to fund someone else’s family.
In a nutshell, the situation isn’t just chaotic—it’s a full-blown circus, and the only ones getting clowned are the students caught in the middle of this mess. The Biden administration’s policies seem to be a game of chicken where kids are the pawns, and states like Oklahoma are no longer willing to play along. They’re stepping up to the plate and demanding fairness in the education system to ensure that the children of taxpayers aren’t left behind in the mad scramble to accommodate those arriving illegally. As the debate heats up, one must wonder how many more states will join the fray, and what it will take for the administration to hear the cries of those actually affected.
