The influx of asylum-seeking students caused one Queens high school to overflow on the first day of class Thursday — even though, historically, city schools are reportedly only two-thirds full because of chronic absenteeism.Newcomers High School in Long Island City felt the strain from the migrant crisis on day one of the academic year, with a line to get in that stretched around the block and some students forced to go to another building to make room.“It’s a capacity issue,” one exasperated teacher told The Post. “They should have worked this out two days ago!”With newly revealed data showing 36% of New York City public school students were chronically absent from class last year, according to a report from Chalkbeat, the situation at Newcomers could only get worse if the no-show students start attending class.

Extra time dealing with illegals who don't speak english won't hurt American kids. I'm sure. Our math and english scores are so high. Dems want to **** American citizens.

Just wait until all the violence and vandalism begins. I hope every teacher walks out. Every single one.
