Last month, the House passed my resolution condemning the use of school facilities to shelter illegal immigrants. This week, the House will take up H.R. 3941, the Schools Not Shelters Act, to officially strip Federal funds from those who allow our schools to be used as hotels instead of schools. New York City Mayor Eric Adams claims there are over 51,800 illegal immigrants in the city's care who need housing. The fact that so many illegal aliens have made it all the way to New York is a direct reflection of the state of our border crisis, and municipalities should not be tasked with fixing this problem. Since the Biden administration refuses to address the border crisis, we must take action in Congress and fight for America's children. After all, how can we feed America's children in cafeterias of schools if they are housing illegal immigrants? Mr. Speaker, I applaud Representative Molinaro for bringing this important piece of legislation to the floor this week, and I look forward to voting for its passage. ____________________
