CONDEMNING THE USE OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL FA-
CILITIES TO PROVIDE SHELTER FOR ALIENS WHO ARE NOT ADMITTED
TO THE UNITED STATES
JUNE 14, 2023.-Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed
Ms. Foxx, from the Committee on Education and the Workforce,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
together with
MINORITY VIEWS
[To accompany H. Res. 461]
The Committee on Education and the Workforce, to whom was
referred the resolution (H. Res. 461) condemning the use of elemen-
tary and secondary school facilities to provide shelter for aliens
who are not admitted to the United States, having considered the
same, reports favorably thereon with amendments and rec-
ommends that the resolution as amended be agreed to.
The amendments are as follows:
Amend the preamble to read as follows:
Whereas sheltering aliens who are not admitted to the United States in school facili-
ties will divert educational resources from children already suffering from his-
toric learning loss;
Whereas, on May 16 and 17, 2023, about 300 such aliens were sheltered in current
or former public school gymnasiums in New York City, and Mayor Eric Adams
announced plans to use as many as 20 public school gymnasiums as overflow
housing for such aliens;
Whereas turning schools into housing centers for such aliens compromises schools'
duty to educate enrolled children and keep them safe;
Whereas hosting such aliens on school campuses poses a significant safety risk to
school children and compromises schools' ability to secure their own campus;
Whereas using school gymnasiums as housing for such aliens may impede children's
access to safe recreation and physical education, may force children to spend
their entire school day with little exercise, and may disrupt the ordinary rou-
tines of the school day;
Whereas a public elementary or secondary school should be ineligible to receive Fed-
eral financial assistance if it is used to shelter, house, or otherwise serve as a
sanctuary for, aliens not admitted to the United States;
Whereas the Biden administration has created these problems with a failed border
security strategy that has encouraged illegal aliens to cross the border, tallying
more than 10,000 a day ahead of the May 11, 2023, expiration of the public
health emergency relating to COVID-19, declared under section 319 of the Pub-
