JD Vance Blames Migrant Kids for Georgia’s Education Problem
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance blamed migrant children for contributing to the challenges facing Georgia’s public education system during a rally in Lindale, Georgia, on Friday.
Speaking to supporters, Vance linked the state’s educational issues to the large number of undocumented immigrants and their children enrolled in public schools.
“There are over 400,000 illegal aliens in the state. About 120,000 Georgian students are children of illegal aliens,” Vance said at the event. “Think about the impact on education for Georgian children when you add over 120,000 kids, many of whom don’t speak English.”
He attributed these challenges to the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies, which he believes have worsened the situation by allowing uncontrolled migration into the country. (snip)
“I have compassion for these innocent kids; I’m not angry with them for coming to this country. Our frustration is with Kamala Harris for allowing the Mexican drug cartels to continue drug trafficking and sex trafficking,” he said.
How dare JD note that Georgia schools are having issues because all those migrant kids do not speak English, have little to no education to start with, and do not understand the culture! How rude!
An American education: Classrooms reshaped by record migrant arrivals
Dana Smith had been teaching first grade at the public school in the small Pennsylvania town of Charleroi for more than 16 years when she found herself confronting a new challenge last year: a sharp rise in students from Haiti who did not speak English.
She started using a phone app to translate lessons, but the constant pauses for translation frustrated her. She wondered if she was hindering the learning of American students who knew some of the basics she was reviewing, a complaint raised by a vocal segment of parents in the district.
“It was very stressful,” she said. “We never know when we’re going to get new ones coming in, where their levels are, how adjusted they are to this culture. The unexpected.”
More than half a million school-age migrant children have arrived in the U.S. since 2022, according to immigration court records collected by Syracuse University, exacerbating overcrowding in some classrooms; compounding teacher and budget shortfalls; forcing teachers to grapple with language barriers and inflaming social tensions in places unaccustomed to educating immigrant students.
Huh. I guess Reuters isn’t a big meanie for pointing out that all these migrant kids let in by Biden-Harris are creating a whole host of problems.
If someone wants to immigrate to America and go through the citizenship process they are required to speak English. They have to be self supporting. If someone wants to come to America on a work or student visa, they have to, get this, speak and write English. They cannot use government benefits. But, if someone wants to just show up at the border and demand asylum, for which 90% will not be eligible, the Biden-Harris admin will simply take them in and dump them in towns around the country, and not care that it creates lots of problems for schoolkids, who are having their education interrupted.
So, according to Jaded Vace, of the 500,000 immigrant children in US schools, 120,000 are in Georgia?
59% of Americans surveyed say to immediately deport these kids.
