Thanks to the effective immigration policies of the Republican administration, the number of illegal immigrants in public schools has decreased

School districts in several deeply Democratic cities are reporting a marked decline in the arrival of students who are children of illegal immigrants, a trend that coincides with the implementation of President Donald Trump's immigration policies and confirms the effectiveness of his agenda to curb illegal immigration.
The most striking case is found in Miami-Dade, Florida, where this year only 2,550 students who are children of illegal immigrants enrolled, a sharp decrease compared to the 14,000 recorded during the last year of the Biden administration and the 20,000 from the previous year. For local authorities, the drop represents an unprecedented shift after years of accelerated enrollment growth driven by the arrival of families without legal status.
The trend is being replicated in other Democrat-controlled districts. In Denver, only 400 new students from migrant families joined schools this year, far from the 1,500 of last year.

In Waukegan, Illinois, the district recorded 100 fewer "recently arrived" students. In Chelsea, Massachusetts, the numbers fell from 592 migrant students in 2024 to just 152 this year, a decline that marks a significant transformation in the migratory pressure on local educational services.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district, one of the largest in North Carolina, reported that more than 20,000 students have disappeared from the system, suggesting that up to 15% of the student body could have been composed of children of illegal immigrants. This phenomenon reflects the level of saturation reached by numerous districts during Biden's presidency.
The accumulated cost for taxpayers has been a point of tension in the debate. According to data cited in the text, in 2019 Americans paid $60 billion to fund the education of non-citizen children. It is also estimated that each child of illegal immigrants receives more than $70,000 in public benefits over their lifetime, a cost that falls exclusively on taxpayers.
The Trump administration recently celebrated another significant reduction: 17% fewer foreign students enrolled in the country's universities and colleges this year, a figure the White House interprets as a sign that the educational system is beginning to stabilize after years of pressure from increased migration under Biden's government.
