In Denver and other parts of Colorado, tens of thousands of children crossing the border illegally flood the state’s schools, receiving free food, clothing, shoes, medical care and education at taxpayer expense. , turning schools into welfare institutions.
of washington post report Centennial State schools transform from educational facilities into full-fledged welfare institutions, enrolling thousands of children of all ages, many of whom have never been to school in their lives.
The newspaper began its story with the story of 11-year-old Alberto, who was enrolled in a school in Aurora, Colorado. When Alberto was 11 years old he had never attended school and he did not speak English. Nevertheless, Alberto has no educational basis for his fourth grade, so he is forced into his fourth grade, even though his presence depresses everyone in the classroom. It has been incorporated.
of post He added that more than 2,800 undocumented children are flooding into Aurora schools. Aurora is never alone. Denver, the state’s largest school, received an influx of more than 3,700 undocumented children in the 2023-2024 school year alone.
The newspaper added that Denver typically takes in about 500 undocumented children a year, but that number has jumped to 250 per week over the past year amid President Joe Biden’s ongoing border crisis. Ta.

The influx is placing a serious burden on teachers.
“If you have 17 kids in a classroom and the next day you have 35, you’re basically starting all over again.” Said Janine Dillabaugh, principal of Eagleton Elementary School in Denver, said: Christian Science Monitor. Beyond academic support, “we also have to meet their social and emotional needs,” she says.
“Emotional needs” refers to discipline issues, violence, and actions by frustrated students who did not have to attend school in their home country. post Added.
Schools are overburdened with children who are far below the level of education appropriate for their age and speak little or no English, forcing schools to find bilingual teachers.
They don’t just need Spanish-speaking teachers. The bilingual curriculum currently in place in Colorado schools is generally Spanish and English, but thanks to Biden’s open borders, the influx of undocumented children into Colorado will be introducing Afghan, Chinese, African languages, and other languages. It turns out that more than a dozen languages are spoken at school. dialects, East Asian languages, etc.
While schools are scrambling to create bilingual programs to accommodate many languages, many of these children lack appropriate clothing and even have untreated medical problems. I arrive at school carrying it. These problems have turned schools into miniature welfare institutions where children, and sometimes their parents, are provided with a full range of services for all their life needs.
A woman from Venezuela happily told the newspaper that she was getting “everything” from her son’s Aurora school.
“This is the only place I feel supported,” she exclaimed. “It helps with everything: clothes, Wi-Fi, food, shoes.”
Thanks to the efforts of school staff, she also received free dental treatment. post report.
Another worrying trend is that post Colorado schools are reportedly in desperate need of bilingual teachers and are hiring immigrants who may have taught in their home countries. It means that teachers trained in foreign educational practices, many of them from communist, socialist, or other explicitly anti-American countries, will now be placed in American classrooms and later excluded from American society. It means teaching children who want to learn.
School budgets are under pressure, and many school districts are demanding more funding as undocumented immigrants flood classrooms. While some believe the federal government should be strengthened, much of the burden falls on local taxpayers, who are forced to raise taxes at the local level and cut services to legal residents.
Indeed, rather than getting better, the problem is only getting worse by the month, dragging America’s schools under as Biden’s growing wave of misconduct.
