Oklahoma’s top education official, Ryan Walters, has sent a demand letter to Vice President Kamala Harris requesting reimbursement for the costs incurred by Oklahoma schools due to the illegal immigration crisis under Harris’s oversight. Walters estimates the cost to be $474.9 million and emphasizes the burden this places on Oklahoma taxpayers, schools, teachers, and parents. He also criticizes Harris for failing to address the issue effectively.
Walters describes the border crisis as “crippling” for Oklahoma schools and highlights the impact on every aspect of society. He calls for accountability from the Biden-Harris administration and encourages other states to calculate the real costs of illegal immigration to show the full extent of the crisis on the country.
Harris’s office has not responded to the request for comment, and Walters acknowledges the administration’s general lack of responsiveness to the needs of Americans. Despite this, he hopes that other states will follow Oklahoma’s lead in demanding remittance for the fiscal disparities caused by illegal immigration.
The article emphasizes Walters’s efforts to hold the administration accountable for the border crisis and highlights the lack of response from Harris’s office. It also mentions similar actions taken by Texas Governor Greg Abbott regarding cost collection for patients “not lawfully present in the United States.”
