Public schools are buckling under the strain of unchecked migration, with last year's 146,000 child arrivals alone jacking up education costs by more than $2 billion nationwide, researchers warn. Lindsey Burke and others at the conservative Heritage Foundation say the arrival of children — some unaccompanied, others with families — is straining school systems in the states where they end up. Research on this topic is mixed. Some scholars have found that immigration actually raises educational success for native-born kids, and some teachers say foreign arrivals sprinkle diversity into classes.
