NEW YORK (1010 WINS/ WCBS 880 NEWS) – Elected officials along with parents from James Madison High School rallied on Wednesday morning after nearly 2,000 migrants were housed in the school for emergency shelter due to Tuesday night's winter rainstorm, resulting in the displacement of students.

The rally aimed to draw attention to the impact of the City’s actions on the local community, according to a statement by Assemblyman Michael Novakhov released on Tuesday.

“The City of New York's decision to prioritize migrants over our communities, budget, safety, and even the education of our children has raised serious concerns,” the statement read.

Parents received an email at around 4 p.m. on Tuesday stating that students would be going remote on Wednesday. The email from Principal Jodie Cohen explained that the move to virtual learning was made to facilitate a smooth transition for families temporarily sheltered in the school building overnight.

Dana Parascando, a parent from James Madison High School told 1010WINS that she had sympathy for the migrants but stressed the importance of prioritizing American and New York City public school children.

I hope they get it through their heads that the only way this is going to change is by voting for candidates at the state and national level who stop the open borders policies and start deporting illegals.

So WHO actually made the decision?

What is it’s name?

We need to put names to these bureaucratic decisions. It is usually just one person.

Heartless people. Probably racists who don’t know they are supposed to welcome “the stranger”.

I think we’re beyond voting on this. In fact, it may be necessary to convince said illegals that being and coming here is a bad idea, and should be discouraged.

Why, for the same reason there is no illegal immigration problem is say... Iran, Pakistan or Egypt.

just sayin...

There is no free stuff there.

Nothing changes here until the money runs out for free stuff.

It will happen. It is a correction that is needed but it will be rough.

In some ways, it is our only hope. Tough times is the solution, always has been.

Are we going to vote for the guy that says tough times is the cure?

That HS facility will have to be Cloroxed top-to-bottom, after those disease-riddled, subhuman, criminal, illegal alien invaders leave, before any kids set foot in that crapbox again.

I linked to a map yesterday. That part of Brooklyn voted for Trump in 2020 and Sliwa over Adams in 2021.

This is a Republican voting area, represented by Michael Novakhov, backed by Curtis Sliwa and Lee Zeldin. Radio host, secular former Soviet Jew with close ties to the Chinese community. The school was picked as punishment for the area’s wrongthink.

The American Gov’t is abandoning her own American Citizens, thanks to Marxist Dems.
