Huge Uproar Over Illegal Aliens Moved to NYC High School, Kids Forced to 'Remote Learn'

There was an uproar on the social media platform X on Tuesday afternoon as news hit about what was happening at James Madison High School in New York City.

The city is evacuating almost 2,000 illegal aliens who are staying in a tent on Floyd Bennett Field due to concerns about the weather because the field is not a livable environment in the face of a potential torrential rain storm and high winds. 

But city officials are now moving the illegal aliens into the second-floor gym of James Madison High School in Brooklyn. 

“To be clear, this relocation is a proactive measure being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and wellbeing of individuals working and living at the center,” City Hall spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak said.

“The families are already in the process of being temporarily relocated and will continue to be provided with essential services and support,” Mamelak added. “The relocation will continue until any weather conditions that may arise have stabilized and the facility is once again fit for living.”

But what about the kids who are supposed to be learning there? 

The school only got notice today that the illegal aliens would be coming. 

“They told us we had to get everything out by 5 [p.m.],” gym teacher Robyn Levy said outside the school. “They sent us the email at 6 in the morning. I don’t know when we’ll be able to back.

“What I want to know is why here?” Levy said. “Why not send them somewhere where students wouldn’t be disrupted, where students learning wouldn’t be disrupted?”

New York Republican lawmakers, including Thomas Sullivan, who is a candidate for Assembly, and City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, weighed in, sounding the alarm about what a bad policy this was and talking about the priorities here. They also reported the kids would be doing virtual classes tomorrow. Vernikov said it was the kids who were being punished here. 

Approximately 1.9k migrants from Floyd Bennett Field will be temporarily relocated to James Madison High School

The school will be shut down and students will attend virtual classes

This incident confirms what we knew all along, the camp at Floyd Bennett Field is unsustainable

James Madison High School students are being punished and forced to bear the brunt of the migrant crisis perpetrated by @JoeBiden. They were dismissed early today and are full remote tomorrow because migrants from Floyd Bennett are at the school tonight to weather the storm.… pic.twitter.com/5nSB8vAQ3n— Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (@InnaVernikov) January 9, 2024

Vernikov said that using the school as a migrant shelter was not a tenable situation and that they had warned the city they were going to have a problem with the Floyd Bennet Field location. 

Vernikov also said the illegal aliens were bypassing the scan system on the campus. 

First group of migrants from Floyd Bennett field arrive at James Madison High School. Madison is a scan school where students get scanned upon entrance, but the migrants got to bypass that as per the NYPD. A lot of law enforcement and other agency resources have been poured into… pic.twitter.com/52kWetWRxA— Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (@InnaVernikov) January 9, 2024

The situation so provoked people's ire that it even got the attention of people like Megyn Kelly and Fox's Bill Melugin, who has become an expert on the border through his coverage. Bill Melugin talked about the reaction of the parents (who have to be furious), and Kelly chastised people for voting Democrat and putting the kids in this situation. 

Woah. Wow. Can’t imagine this going over well with parents. https://t.co/LqoVmXedLi— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) January 9, 2024

So… these Brooklyn kids now have to suffer thru remote learning (which is nothing of the kind) so illegal migrants can live in their school. Keep voting Democrat Brooklyn! https://t.co/f7bPge1sCZ— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) January 9, 2024

Whenever you hear that phrase you know something stupid will follow.

That usually means at least one parent has to miss work and stay home with their child. A rippling effect of losses.

Eh, TFB, New Yawkers. You get what you voted for so embrace the suck.

Silver lining in the cloud.

Kids get kicked out of gooberment indoctrination center.

[mewzilla]

If they’d vote for it, then why does Gotham now have RCV?

[metmom]

That is kind of hard to argue against.

No make it a Take Your Kid to Work day and the bosses who voted D will get a dose of what they did...

After all its the illegal aliens that will ‘be provided with essential services and support’ not the American citizen parents and the American citizen students...

[PIF]

NY parents paid $45,000 per kid, now their kids are kicked out in favor of illegals who pay nothing, while the American kids have to settle for inferior remote education.

[Honest Nigerian]

Good.
It has taken NYC to get this noticed?
Has been going on in Texas, California, Arizona, etc. FOR YEARS!!
The liberals always overplay their hand/s.

[Drew68]

Eh, TFB, New Yawkers. You get what you voted for so embrace the suck.

Except they didn't vote for this.

This little chunk of Brooklyn voted for Trump in '16 and '20 and for Curtis Silwa for mayor in '21. It has a large ethnic Eastern European population.

They're being punished.
