Number of illegal immigrants getting in-state tuition for Texas colleges rises
Tuesday, March 16 @ 12:37:04 EDT by williamg (240 reads) |  The number of illegal immigrant college students
paying in-state tuition and receiving financial aid at Texas' public
colleges and universities continues to climb, according to state higher
education records.
During the fall semester, 12,138 students – about 1 percent of all
Texas college students – benefited from the state law granting in-state
tuition, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
Most of the immigrants among those students are illegal, and some
others are not legal permanent residents or U.S. citizens.
Texas awarded about $33.6 million in state and institutional financial aid to those students between fall 2004 and summer 2008.

AZ may criminalize presence of illegal immigrants
Wednesday, March 03 @ 00:41:02 EST by jean (395 reads) | PHOENIX (AP) - Over the past several years, immigration hard-liners at the Arizona Legislature persuaded their colleagues to criminalize the presence of illegal border-crossers in the state and ban soft immigration policies in police agencies - only to be thwarted by vetoes from a Democratic governor.
This year, their prospects have improved. A proposal to draw local police deeper into the fight against illegal immigration has momentum, and even opponents expect the new Republican governor to sign off on the changes.

UT State agencies ignoring new immigration law
Monday, March 01 @ 10:15:16 EST by williamg (494 reads) | Anti-illegal immigration groups are upset, reminding counties and schools to screen their hires.
Eight months after Utah required governmental entities to verify their
employees are legally able to work in the United States, the law is
being widely ignored.
The failure of many counties, municipalities, school districts and
other governmental bodies to comply has sparked an outcry from
lawmakers.
The lack of enforcement is "troubling," said former Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St.George, who sponsored the new law.

NE Immigration lawyer says lawsuit isn't politics
Monday, February 22 @ 10:01:14 EST by williamg (422 reads) | Kris Kobach says he was impelled by respect for
"the rule of law" when he stepped across the border from Kansas to file
an immigrant tuition lawsuit in Nebraska.
The lawsuit challenging Nebraska's law granting resident college
tuition rates to resident children of illegal immigrants is not
politically motivated, Kobach says.

Nebraska Hustles To Keep Illegal Alien Medical Coverage
Saturday, February 20 @ 00:53:36 EST by jean (593 reads) | On the heels of a federal crackdown, lawmakers in Nebraska are scrambling to pass legislation that will allow pregnant illegal immigrant women to continue receiving free, taxpayer-financed medical care.
The state has for decades offered the costly perk to pregnant illegal aliens, whose “anchor babies” are automatically United States citizens. However, the federal government recently notified the state that it was illegally determining eligibility for publicly-funded medical care known as Medicaid.

Okla. immigration ruling could affect Arizona law
Saturday, February 06 @ 00:54:09 EST by jean (644 reads) | Groups trying to overturn an Arizona law that prohibits employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants hope their chances of getting the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their appeal were improved this week by a lower court's decision on a similar law in Oklahoma.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld much of an injunction against Oklahoma's anti-illegal immigrant law, ruling that business groups had legal standing to challenge it.

Illegal Alien in-State Tuition Sparks Heated Debate
Monday, February 01 @ 22:56:30 EST by williamg (625 reads) | LINCOLN, Neb. --
Opponents and supporters of a measure that allows some illegal
immigrants in Nebraska to get in-state tuition made their arguments to
lawmakers on Monday.
A legislative hearing was scheduled for a bill (LB1001) that would
repeal the 3-year-old law. It is meant for students whose parents
brought them to the United States illegally.
To be eligible for in-state tuition at state colleges, they must
have graduated from Nebraska high schools, lived in the state for at
least three years and be pursuing or promise to pursue legal status.

Idaho: Lawmakers pursue illegal immigrant employers
Saturday, January 30 @ 00:26:16 EST by jean (558 reads) | BOISE, Idaho — Idaho lawmakers could debate as many as three bills this session that would punish employers who hire illegal immigrants.
Two bills, including one introduced Friday by Sen. Mike Jorgenson, would punish employers who knowingly hire illegal workers with fines and suspension of licenses. A third, milder measure makes knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant a misdemeanor but doesn't touch their licenses.

Arizona law to criminalize undocumented immigrants
Monday, January 25 @ 09:36:26 EST by williamg (990 reads) | PHOENIX, Arizona, United States—Arizona could become the first state in the country to criminalize undocumented immigrants.
A bill moving fast through the Arizona Senate would allow local police
to arrest and incarcerate someone for “trespassing” into the territory
of the state.
“The federal government is not doing its job so we’re going to do
it,” said Senator Russell Pearce (Republican-Mesa), author of the bill,
which is called the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhood
Act.
