The Jamul-Dulzura Union School District in California has introduced new safety measures after a group of 20 illegal aliens attempted to board a school bus on Wednesday. This is the second such incident in the district this week, leading to heightened concerns among parents and school officials.
On Tuesday, three men tried to stop a school bus on Highway 94, forcing the driver to avoid them and continue on the route. The next day, the situation escalated when a group of 20 individuals attempted to board another school bus at the same location. Parents at the bus stop intervened, preventing the illegal aliens from boarding the bus.
Superintendent Liz Bystedt responded by implementing new protocols to ensure student safety. Moving forward, buses will bypass stops where migrants are present and proceed to the next stop. In a letter to parents, Bystedt urged them to stay vigilant and to follow the bus to the next stop if necessary.
One parent, Nicole Cardinale, whose 8-year-old son was on the bus during the incident, described the situation as “really scary.” Her son reported that the adults trying to board the bus were carrying backpacks and seemed determined to gain access.
The San Diego Sheriff’s Office has launched an investigation to determine if any criminal activity took place during the incident. Kimberly King, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department, assured the community that student safety is a top priority and that they are working closely with the school district to protect students.
These incidents highlight the challenges faced by school districts near the border, where illegal immigration can directly impact the safety and security of students and staff.
