New York City's Department of Education is this year enrolling 2,350 illegal immigrant children who crossed the U.S. border unaccompanied — with "large numbers" anticipated in the future, the New York Post reported.

“It is expected that children will continue to arrive in large numbers in the coming years,” according to a DOE memo to principals obtained by The Post.

The notice comes as the city rolls out a $50 million red carpet for 1,662 minors who crossed the border this summer to escape ­violence and gangs in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

In the “surge,” 5,000 of the 63,000 migrant kids caught trying to cross U.S. borders — or who turned themselves in for refuge — have been released to relatives or other “sponsors” in New York state. Most live with other illegal immigrants.
