I had a kid in my class who was an immigrant and had to learn English. We had other people who could speak Spanish who’d translate for him and he’d use the translator on his phone to communicate with us😐

The “time taken away” from English-speaking students is a result of artificial scarcity. If a classroom is so overcrowded and under-resourced that one student’s needs rob another’s, the problem is the lack of teachers and specialist, not the presence of the child. Governments often cut social spending while increasing budgets for policing or corporate subsidies, then blame the resulting strain on the most vulnerable groups to distract from these choices.

Public schools have been underfunded for decades, long before recent migration shifts. By blaming immigrant children, the state avoids accountability for low teacher pay, crumbling infrastructure, and the lack of ESL (English as a Second Language) specialists. This rhetoric is a divide and conquer tactic. It pits the working class (parents of “American” kids) against the even more exploited working class (immigrant families) so they don’t unite to demand better funding for everyone.

Legally and ethically, education is a human right, not a privilege reserved for those born within specific borders. The Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe (1982) that denying an education to children based on immigration status is unconstitutional and creates a permanent underclass. We should have sanctuary schools because a child’s ability to learn is destroyed by the constant fear of deportation or family separation, which also traumatizes their peers and disrupts learning as a whole.

Also, research often shows that immigrant peers do not harm the academic achievement of U.S.-born students. In fact, exposure to diverse perspectives and higher academic aspirations can improve outcomes for everyone. Integrating these children quickly, by actually funding language programs, turns them into productive, tax-paying members of society who eventually support the aging American population.

Lastly, I would actually agree that liberal policy is often failing, but for the opposite reason. It is because liberals often maintain the same border enforcement and funding cuts as conservatives while only using inclusion as a hollow marketing slogan. The solution is not closing the floodgates, but taxing the ultra-wealthy to fully fund every school so that every child, regardless of their native language, has a small class size and a dedicated teacher.
