Migrants Have Been a ‘Godsend,’ New York Schools Chief Says

[j brown's body]

"New York City has enrolled nearly 40,000 new migrant children since July 2022. Are schools feeling the strain?
For some of the schools, the migrants coming here has been a godsend because we’ve lost so many other kids. Some schools were being threatened with whether we’re going to be able to keep the doors open.

I push back on a lot of the kind of negative politics that people talk about with migrants. This is a city of immigrants. I mean, that’s the uniqueness of New York.
We never make it easy for immigrants who are coming. But they find their way. And the same thing is going to happen here.

Many schools spent the earliest stages of the migrant crisis meeting basic needs. Now what do teachers and principals tell you is their biggest challenge in supporting new arrivals?
We’ve got over 5,000 teachers who are either bilingual or English-as-a-new-language teachers who are doing everything that they can possibly do. We need more.
If you want to see New York City schools at their best, look at how these teachers have responded to the migrant crisis. It’s incredible. They’ve partnered kids with other kids who are serving as buddies for them. They’ve got mentors from older grades.

So I don’t hear a major cry from schools."

How American is that?

Rock on.

Teaching the next generation.

And they are probably not constrained by backward Republican education restriction mandates. Those kids are likely getting a real education.

Fantastic American spirit!! I hope we fund them well, and allow them to help integrate these kids into society while protecting their culture and fostering their love of learning! It's what America does best! We need every person we can get to add to our declining population. Hopefully offering scholarships to our youth down the road for IT and Nursing. If we're smart about it we can avoid the downfall of population decline in America.

Every migrant I've come across in my state has been so grateful to have the chances we afford them. I'm proud of us! I'm crossing my fingers that we develop a better solution to fix the work visa issues with the next administration.


We have a labor shortage currently that sits at around 70%. That is 5% below the global average and will only get worse in the coming years. The last thing we need to do is kick people out of here.
