The city’s public school system has enrolled 1,400 migrant children to start the school year — many of whom were bused into the Big Apple from Texas — by both the Biden administration and Lone Star State Gov. Greg Abbott — after crossing the southern border into the U.S.

“We want every child to have a chance to be able to thrive and grow and prosper, no matter their ZIP code, no matter their ethnicity, no matter how they got here,” said Adams during a press conference at PS 161 in The Bronx celebrating the first day of the school year.

“Doesn’t matter that they arrived here through the nefarious actions of a despicable governor that treated them in a brutal way — those 1,400 students will be treated with the same love and nurturing of those students who grew up in this educational system,” he added.

An estimated 8,000 migrants have been bused into the city since the spring. 
Department of Education Chancellor David Banks said he’s recruiting bilingual teachers from the Dominican Republic — about 25 so far and counting.
