Fox News
San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond sounded off on "Hannity" Wednesday, after the Biden administration sent hundreds of Central American migrant children to be housed and formally educated by local teachers at the San Diego Convention Center, while Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to prohibit in-person learning for U.S. citizen students.
"It's primarily due to the draconian lockdowns by our governor, Gov. Newsom here in California. He hasn't allowed our kids to go back into school. They will be allowed to have limited in person learning here on April 12th. But in the meantime, they are not allowed to be let back into our public schools," he said. "It's very frustrating. We have 130,000 students in San Diego Unified School District that are not allowed for in-person training right now. And we've got these poor migrant kids who came across the border -- these girls without parents -- and they are being -- I am not begrudging the fact that they should have education but our kid should have that opportunity as well." Desmond said Newsom effectively "locked out" his own constitutents' children from educational opportunities the migrant children are receiving.More Related News
