Border Crisis About To Hit Locally

The crisis at the southern border, which has been all but ignored by the Biden administration and much of the media, is growing and now it’s heading north. About 150 unaccompanied children from that area have now arrived in northwestern Pennsylvania, where they will be housed at a dormitory at the Pennsylvania International Academy. The children landed Tuesday night at Erie International Airport. 6 kids were assigned to each room in the 648 capacity dormitory at the Pennsylvania International Academy, and more are now expected. The U.S. government picked up nearly 19,000 children traveling alone across the Mexican border just in March alone, the largest monthly number ever recorded. Governors of a growing list of states are now refusing to house the children over fears of overloading local healthcare systems, and amid fears of the spread of disease and viruses that the growing number of people flooding the southern border may be bringing with them.
