Walters claims that the open border policies have resulted in detrimental effects, including drug-related issues \u2063and a\u2063 need \u2062to divert resources from\u2064 legal\u2062 students\u200b to accommodate new immigrant students. He criticizes the federal government for mandating schools to accept\u200c all\u200d children, regardless of\u200d their immigration status, while local taxpayers bear \u200cthe\u2063 financial impact. The \u200dsuperintendent&#8217;s request \u200caligns with previous criticisms he has made against the \u2063Biden administration regarding education and immigration policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Oklahoma school chief cites Harris&rsquo;s &lsquo;mass chaos&rsquo; in request for over $474 million<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1868111\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/oklahoma\/\">Oklahoma<\/a> State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters argued Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris<\/a>&rsquo;s leadership on the border has offloaded the burden of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/illegal-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">illegal immigration<\/a> to school districts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Walters requested that the Biden-Harris administration reimburse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3207268\/kamala-harris-reimburse-illegal-immigrant-costs-oklahoma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">over $474 million<\/a> to Oklahoma schools for &ldquo;the financial impact borne by Oklahoma <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/taxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">taxpayers<\/a> for education of illegal immigrant children.&rdquo; The letter, issued Tuesday, comes as Walters deemed Harris as &ldquo;the number one threat to parents and kids&rdquo; in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This open border policy has cost our state $474 million to educate illegal immigrant children,&rdquo; Walters said on Fox News&rsquo;s <em>Fox and Friend<\/em>s <em>First<\/em>. &ldquo;We have fentanyl pouring across into our schools, and we even had a terrorist that came across in our open border policies, that was arrested in one of our schools.
