Biden administration sued by Oklahoma for $474 million over migrant student costs: Border blunders come with a heavy price Latest job recruitment

Oklahoma’s state superintendent, Ryan Walters, has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, seeking $474 million for the financial burden of educating undocumented migrant children. The suit highlights that the state spent $13,736 per student in the 2023-24 school year to accommodate around 3,000 migrant children. Walters argues that federal border policies have forced Oklahoma taxpayers to bear the cost, calling for accountability from the federal government and adequate reimbursement for the state’s education system.
