Virginia is allowing 22-year-old grown men, illegal migrants who don’t speak English, to enroll in public high school with your 14- and 15-year-old daughters. Mind you, American kids get booted at 20. Illegals can stay until 22 free of charge, thanks to Virginia Code §… pic.twitter.com/NDE1zYUBD8 — Sadie (@Sadie_NC) March 25, 2026 Reports emerging out of Virginia confirm that migrants, including those in the country illegally, are being allowed to remain in high schools up to the age of 22, placing adult individuals into classrooms with minors. What is being justified under the banner of “education access” has effectively created a loophole where grown adults can legally sit alongside teenage students. Yet another example of Democrats prioritizing open borders above all else. We now have a situation where individuals far beyond what any reasonable person would define as “school age” are being kept inside high schools, funded by taxpayers, and justified under a complete distortion of the law.

You now have 12-year-olds sitting in classrooms alongside adult men from entirely different backgrounds and cultures, and we are told this is normal. It is not. This is a fundamental breakdown in the purpose of the law and a reckless abandonment of the very students it was meant to protect. Virginia Code § 22.1-5(D) explicitly states: “School boards may accept and provide programs for students for whom English is a second language who entered school in Virginia for the first time after reaching their twelfth birthday,…​ ​Read More
