Congressman Roger Williams from Texas has expressed his concern and disappointment over the closure of James Madison High School in New York City to house illegal aliens. In a letter addressed to Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, Congressman Williams highlighted the negative impact of school closures on students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The closure of James Madison High School to house illegal aliens should concern every American," said Congressman Williams. He emphasized that school closures had devastating consequences for students, including increased depression and lower academic performance. Congressman Williams firmly believes that children should not have to bear the burden of President Biden's failure to secure the border.

In his letter, Congressman Williams vowed to hold the Department of Education accountable to ensure that no students are forced out of their schools to accommodate illegal aliens. He expressed his commitment to ensuring that the education system remains focused on the needs and well-being of American students.

The decision to close James Madison High School and house nearly 2,000 migrants was announced on January 9th, 2024. Students were informed that they would need to attend classes remotely while the school was used as a temporary shelter.

Congressman Williams' letter to Secretary Cardona reflects the concerns of many Americans who believe that education should be a top priority for the government. The closure of a school for the purpose of accommodating illegal aliens has raised questions about the administration's approach to immigration and its impact on American students.

As the debate around immigration policies continues, Congressman Williams' efforts to hold the Department of Education accountable serve as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding the education system and prioritizing the needs of American students.
