(CNSNews.com) - The number of homeless students is steadily rising in this country, up 38.44 percent since the 2009-10 school year, based on data submitted by state and local education agencies, including those in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
The U.S. Education Department says 1,301,239 homeless students were enrolled in the nation's public schools in the 2013-14 school year, the most recent year for which numbers are available.
That's a 6.67 percent increase from the 1,219,818 homeless students enrolled in 2012-13; a 14.86 percent increase from the 1,132,853 enrolled in 2011-12; a 22.09 percent increase from the 1,065,794 in 2010-11; and a 38.44 percent increase from the 939,903 in 2009-2010.

And yet, Ryan paves the way financially for 300K Syrian supposed refugees to come into America, providing them with housing and healthcare while the children of America are homeless. Do you catch this hypocrisy? These children have parents who used to pay taxes yet DC is covering shield for people who have never paid into the system designed to help LEGAL citizens. Wonder who thought this BS up? Both Democrats AND Republicans are to blame here. Gotta promote that New World Order garbage. Right?
Damn Bush , or was it obamie ?
Both, 1213. Bush didn't do anything more for welfare slaves than Obama. They basically want to have immigrants take over, while leaving America's future ambiguous at best.
