Since 2021, the Journal reports, “as many as one million children … have arrived with their families or on their own” to the United States …

As a result, public schools where migrant children are resettling have been hit with financial and staffing burdens they have not experienced before.

For Stoughton, with fewer than 30,000 residents, the mass immigration to their community has made the school district dish out at least half a million dollars in additional costs. …

Researchers with the Center for Immigration Studies analyzed the impact of mass immigration under the Biden administration, finding that in 2021, 1 in 4 public school students in the United States were from immigrant households — more than double the share in 1990 and over triple from 1980. …
