Press Releases

WASHINGTON – Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee Chairman Aaron Bean (R-FL), and Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) released the following statement on confirmed reports of illegal aliens being shepherded into a New York high school as a result of the Biden administration’s failed border policies, thereby closing the school and forcing students into remote-only learning:

“Schools should never be used as encampments for illegal aliens—the safety risks to students of all ages, as well as the risks posed to their educational pursuits, are too severe. Unfortunately, the Democrat city government is willing to sacrifice the safety and academic pursuits of students to cover up its and the Biden administration’s glaring policy failures. This is exactly why Republicans passed H. Res. 461—to send a full-throated message to New York City, the Biden administration, and local leaders across the country that the safety and education of American school children should not be subject to their pro-illegal immigration whims.”
