Chicago parents enraged as illegal immigrant children enroll in schools with no health records despite COVID rules

Chicago parents are furious over not only having to foot the bill to house illegal immigrants but because school districts are allowing migrant children to enroll with no health records despite strict COVID rules even though their children have to be vaccinated to the hilt to attend classes.

Chicago is getting hit hard but so are cities across the nation all due to President Biden throwing the border wide open and ushering in millions of illegal immigrants, allowing them to flaunt our rules while requiring American citizens to abide by every one of them in the book. Adding insult to grievous injury, Americans have to fund those breaking the law and then watch as they move into their neighborhoods.

Jennifer Preston is a mother who sat down on “Fox & Friends First” Thursday to discuss the blatant hypocrisy of requiring vaccination records from residents, while migrants are allowed to enroll without any such documentation.

“Right now in the school district in which we live, we have to provide residency, citizenship, health records, and vaccination records on an almost annual basis. I have a child right now, and I must have five emails in my inbox stating that my child cannot return to school next year without a specific vaccine. So it’s certainly inconsistent with what they’re allowing for the migrant children coming into the Chicago public schools,” she noted.

Fox 32 is reporting that approximately 40 to 50 migrant children are expected to enroll at one elementary school in the Little Village area of Chicago and up to a dozen would go to a nearby high school for the final weeks of the school year.

Residents are beyond fed up with the Windy City’s sanctuary policies. That became apparent at a recent meeting that was held concerning a college being used as temporary housing for migrants.

“You can be compassionate, but you can’t be foolish,” one resident asserted.

“We are inviting in everyone like a magnet, ‘Everyone come here, collect all your freebies. We are going to give it to you.’ Every sucker in here is going to pay for it,” another resident angrily proclaimed.

Preston resides in the suburbs. Her family isn’t being impacted by the influx of illegal immigrants yet but she knows it’s coming.

Despite feeling compassion for the children, the mother contended, “I would expect that they would be coming here legally and be bound to the same guidelines and principles and laws that all of our own children as taxpaying citizens are.”

She commented that there is a “major inconsistency” after years of coronavirus restrictions in schools when illegal immigrant children are allowed to enroll without proper documentation.

According to Fox 32, Local Ald. Mike Rodriguez viciously posited, “Despite the fact that this is a crisis, a man-made crisis, made by xenophobic, racist policies from southern governors, we should also look at this as an opportunity to bring in new energy, and the revitalized immigrant spirit to our community.”

Preston resoundingly rejected the idea that southern governors are supporting “racist, xenophobic policies” by confronting the border crisis and said she found that premise “very offensive” and insisted there should be “law and order.”

“We had so many restrictions and policies in place a few years ago to the far, far extreme. And I’m not suggesting we go back there at all, but there must be something consistent with what we are making our taxpaying US citizens and residents do that is consistent with bringing in migrants,” the mother remarked.

People were not shy about speaking up about the dual standard in Chicago’s schools:
