    ALIPAC USA Today Illegal immigrants face threat no college

    Illegal immigrants face threat of no college
    By Mary Beth Marklein, USA TODAY

    Some states are making it harder for illegal immigrants to attend college by denying in-state tuition benefits or banning undocumented students.

    In the past two years, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma have refused in-state tuition benefits to students who entered the USA illegally with their parents but grew up and went to school in the state. That represents a reversal from earlier this decade, when 10 states passed laws allowing in-state rates for such students.

    This summer, South Carolina became the first state to bar undocumented students from all public colleges and universities.

    North Carolina's community colleges in May ordered its 58 campuses to stop enrolling undocumented students after the state attorney general said admitting them may violate federal law.

    "The new trend is to kick illegal aliens out of college altogether," says William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee, which opposes taxpayer subsidies for undocumented immigrants.

    Josh Bernstein of the National Immigration Law Center, an illegal-immigrants advocate, says sweeping anti-immigration bills are "a very serious threat" to the overall illegal population.

    Georgia, which barred undocumented students from in-state tuition rates in 2006, enacted laws in May preventing them from receiving state scholarships and certain student loans.

    This fall, the University of Arkansas will require students to submit Social Security numbers and proof of residency. In May, Arkansas Department of Higher Education Director Jim Purcell warned that students without documentation "will not be considered as legally enrolled students" when determining an institution's state funding.

    Opponents say students shouldn't be penalized for their parents' actions. Helping them is "the right thing to do even if it's unpopular," says North Carolina state Rep. Pricey Harrison, a Democrat who introduced a bill that would prevent state institutions from asking about students' immigration status.

    First things first.......it's anti ILLEGAL immigration, you jackass.

    Secondly, if this poses a "very serious threat" to illegal aliens...GREAT!!!

    That's just what it's meant to do.

    And just when will Pricey Harrison be up for re-election? I do believe that the voters of NC should send the good Rep. on a permanent vacay to enjoy her unemployment.

    As far as the IA students being allegedly "penalized" for their parents actions, I don't believe that this is the case at all. As minors they had no say in the matter, of course, but what is their excuse once they turn 18?

    As adults, these poor, unfortunate "victims" of their parents poor choices to break the law, can make the right choices to do the right thing by returning to their home countries and applying for permission to enter the country legally to go to school.

    Are they bothering to do that? Of course not and by their refusal to do so, as adults, they are no less criminals than their parents are.

    Helping them do what! Get an education so they can work illegal in the US just like their parents?

    It is asinine and moronic that illegal aliens are allowed into colleges at all. I would argue that it is in violation of the 'aiding and abetting' statute in the 1986 IRCA.

    Even if illegal aliens were to pay out of state tuition, it would not cover the entire cost of their education because of capital costs, often conveniently left out (or purposely lessened) in the total costs calculations. Therefore, taxpayer subsidization of illegal aliens would occur. Also, why would any legislator allow an illegal alien to take a seat in college from a deserving American citizen or legal immigrant?

    Seats in colleges are a limited and highly coveted resource, why the hell would you put an illegal alien into one?

    Also, why should we be in the business of educating and training a group of people who are illegally here and cannot legally be employed?

    Pricey needs a new occupation perhaps the sanitation department of sewage treatment plant where he can work amongst that which proceeds from his mouth.

    The "right thing to do" would be to deny illegal immigrants the right to any education. THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS.
