Talking Points (If you live in the Rep's district ask the Rep to formally respond to you with answers):
* State you oppose HB851 because it provides more benefits for illegal aliens while immigration laws are still so blatantly not enforced.


* Ask the Representative how many legal students will be displaced illegal alien students. Throw out some numbers like 5K, 50K, 100K.
The answer is unknown because Staff Analysis states "The fiscal impact is indeterminate as it is difficult to identify the number of students who meet the criteria outlined in the bill."
* Ask the Representative how much it will cost to subsidize college tuition for illegal aliens. Throw out some numbers like, $50 million, $500 million, $1 billion.
The answer is unknown because Staff Analysis states "The fiscal impact is indeterminate as it is difficult to identify the number of students who meet the criteria outlined in the bill."
FLIMEN Note 1: HB851 also includes two other provisions that FLIMEN does not necessarily oppose but when a bill contains provisions as egregious as HB851 then it makes sense to oppose the entire bill. FLIMEN does not object to in-state tuition rates for citizens (via birthright citizenship) or veterans but strenuously objects to in-state tuition for non-citizens ("undocumented immigrants").


FLIMEN Note 2: The Staff Analysis clearly states that federal law prohibits reduced tuition rates for any group unless reduced tuition rates are extended to all US citizens. The deceitful wording of the HB851 as well as tuition policies of several Florida state-funded colleges use deceitful wording in an attempt to bypass federal law.
Legal students need your help!

If HB851 passes you can expect higher education to become a cesspool
just like over-immigration has done to K-12 schools (among other reasons too).
