San Diego schools agree to education migrant children in person while schools remain closed
One county supervisor says, 'I wish every child in San Diego County was allowed the same opportunity'
The San Diego County Board of Education has agreed to send teachers to provide in-person instruction for the hundreds of teen migrant girls being housed at the San Diego Convention Center, while many of the schools in the district remain closed to in-class learning.
One county supervisor said of the move, "I wish every child in San Diego County was allowed the same opportunity."
The Los Angeles Times reported over the weekend that the first 500 migrant girls between the ages of 13 and 17 had arrived from Texas and Arizona to the convention center for shelter, part of an overwhelming wave of unaccompanied children that have arrived in the U.S. at its southern border since Joe Biden began occupying the Oval Office.
The newspaper reported the San Diego County Board of Education will provide classes for the girls. Ping-pong tables and soccer balls, among other recreational items, were also to be made available.
San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond confirmed the news on Twitter, writing, "The San Diego County Board of Education will be sending teachers for in-person learning for the migrant children at the convention center. It's great there's in-person learning for them, but I wish every child in San Diego County was allowed the same opportunity."
Local outlet KUSI-TV shared Desmond's post, affirming the message.
San Diego Unified remains closed but is scheduled to open for in-person instruction on April 12, according to district spokepersons The district and its charter schools are expected to get a total of $342.6 million from the American Rescue Plan, the recently passed #1.9 trillion package that includes only nine percent of its relief plan directly for CCP virus relief, vaccinations, medical facilities and schools.
Biden administration officials boasted of the care the migrants girls will receive, including one-on-one legal services, phones to call relatives, laundry services, and three meals along with snacks each day. The federal government is footing the bill for services that far exceed those available to our own children here in the U.S.
"We're really excited by the wealth of service array that's available here," Heidi Staples, a federal field specialist with Health and Human Services said Tuesday. "It's really great for the kids."
Not everyone is happy that resources are being prioritized for illegal immigrants over other residents of San Diego. The San Diego Convention Center was, until recently, being used as a temporary homeless shelter during the CCP virus pandemic. Now it will house illegal migrant children who haven’t even been tested for the virus.

One person told KSWB-TV, "If they really, really, truly cared for people, they could walk around our sidewalk right here — any part of San Diego — and see we have mentally ill, we have elderly, we have our vets all sleeping outside on the sidewalk. Why aren't they being helped like this?"
It is a legitimate question, and San Diego is not the only community asking those difficult questions.
The treatment and services being provided to youthful immigrants brings to question the attention, or lack thereof, being given to our own homeless and starving populations. That is not to say that welfare programs, many of which are already bloated, should be further expanded for U.S. citizens. Rather, it calls into question the Biden cabal’s priorities. The bottom-line question is this: Are illegal immigrants a higher priority for this administration than struggling U.S. citizens?
The answer is unequivocally “yes.”
ICE has recently been authorized to spend up to $86 million for hotel rooms to house migrants after the come across the border. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been tasked with providing help to migrants who have recently crossed the U.S-Mexican border.
Meanwhile, our own homeless languish in squalor in many of our major cities across the U.S. New York City's own inspector general ripped a controversial city program intended to help curb homelessness after a probe showed it left needy families "living in squalor under the roofs of unscrupulous landlords."
San Francisco homeless don’t even have access to subsidized housing, regardless of its inadequacy as in New York City. They live among used needles and human feces every day, but none of the migrants coming across the border have to experience such filth.
How did we get here, and when are we going to do something about it?
President Donald Trump had the border well secured during his tenure in the Oval Office. It has taken Biden only two months to completely dismantle the process that kept migrants on the south side of the border and out of our country, instead opening our borders and inviting anyone who wants to come to the U.S. do so.
In so doing. Biden has crippled U.S. national security. Two of his executive orders signed withing hours of his taking the oath of office managed to undo four years of Trump commitment to safe, secure borders.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan, knowing this order was coming, had been pushing back on the move. The wall stops human and drug smugglers. It allows Border Patrol to better control and understand who crosses into the country. Under President Trump, 450 miles of wall were built. An additional 350 miles have already been paid for and approved for construction.
The Fascists in D.C. won’t tell you that, but it’s the truth.
The second executive order Biden signed reverses the ban on travel from terrorist hotspots, including Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia, in addition to North Korea, Chad and Venezuela. The ban was put into place in 2017 against governments who could not provide proper documentation, vetting or identification information for citizens traveling to the United States. Biden's decision to reverse these actions puts the national security of the United States at risk.
Customs and Border Patriol (CBP) officers detained four foreign nationals whose names match those on the terror watch list. They were stopped while trying to enter the U.S. via the southern border during the recent migrant surge. A congressional aide familiar with CBP information confirmed that information to various media last week.
The complete lack of commitment to border security by the Biden cabal is deliberate, knowledgeable and intentional. The reasons are multifaceted. One, it increases the number of illegals someone — not necessarily Biden, who is laughably incompetent and will not last much longer in the presidency — can later declare “citizens” by fraudulent executive order, gving them the right to vote and keep the Fascist Democrats in power for the next century..
Two, in foments division and potentially violence among U.S. factions but ultimately directed towards the migrants themselves, resulting in more demonstrations and unrest the Fascist Left can use as a cudgel against all who refuse to cowtow to they’re ideology.
Finally, it affords the Democrat base — extremely narrow but very vocal — the opportunity to shame those who disagree with them into submission. How can we as conservatives stand against those who would discredit us with accusations that we “hate children,” even given the reality that have come here illegally?
Unless we detrmine to stand against The Big Lie that will, from this point forward, be the only “truth” reported, unless we refuse to be intimidated into silence, unless we resist the Fascist onslaught, our future is grim, our nation in jeopardy.
San Diego teachers doing in-person instruction for migrants while refusing to do the same for our own native-born children, our own flesh and blood, will be the least of our worries.
