Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, school is out, but the schoolhouse is full. I rise today to urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3941, the Schools Not Shelters Act.

We have seen Democrat-run States, such as New York, that announce plans to house illegal immigrants in public schools and college dorms. Our educational institutions should be focused on helping students recover from the COVID lockdowns, which contributed to significant learning loss, not housing immigrants.

H.R. 3941 prohibits public schools that receive Federal funds from sheltering illegal aliens, which compromises schools' safety.

Let's pass this bill and put the safety and success of our children first.
