Harris-Bidens border policy is robbing Logansport kids of an education

New York City’s migrant woes have gotten a decent amount of national attention, but the crisis caused by the Harris-Biden border madness has hit a lot of much smaller towns as hard or harder: Take Logansport, Ind.The town of just over 18,000 has been slammed by a flood of non-English-speakers — with the county population growing perhaps 30% and the mayor guesstimating 2,000 to 3,000 Haitian migrants moving to town.And it’s a major challenge for the public schools, where the number of Haitian migrants enrolled jumped from 15-fold, from 14 in 2021 to 207 in 2024 and local kids are being neglected as teachers’ attention is consumed by migrant students.In response, some kids, like honors student Cheyanne Baker, 16, drop out to pursue education online.

But Logansport parents are not bigots; they’re trying to do right by their kids, whose educations are being jeopardized by the callous and cynical Harris-Biden open-border folly.As Cheyanne’s mom, Nancy Baker, put it: “We can help people, that�...
