Five Democrats joined all 13 Republicans in voting against Senate Bill 170./
Senate Bill 170 would apply to students who are in the country illegally and who have graduated from Colorado high schools.
Backers say that these students were brought into the country illegally as children by their parents. They say it makes economic sense to help them get an education.
Opponents say it would violate a federal law that bars states from offering illegal immigrants any benefit that’s not given to citizens from other states. Despite that law, 10 states have passed laws allowing in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students.

Tuition For Illegal Immigrant Bill Killed
POSTED: 3:39 pm MDT April 6, 2009
DENVER -- The Colorado Senate has killed a proposal that would have allowed illegal immigrant students to pay in-state tuition at state colleges.
Five Democrats joined with Republicans to defeat the measure 18-16 after a three-hour debate on Monday.
Senate Bill 170 would have applied to students who are in the country illegally and who have graduated from Colorado high schools.
Opponents said it would have violated a federal law that bars states from offering illegal immigrants any benefit that's not given to citizens from other states.
Lawmakers voted to change the bill to say it would only take effect if the federal law is changed but the amended version was then defeated.

Subject: RE: SB09-170
I have good news for you on Senate Bill 170 - the Senate voted 18-16 to kill it this afternoon after nearly five hours of debate.
I cast my vote against this deeply flawed measure, along with all my Republican colleagues and four brave Democrats: Carrol, Keller, Newell, and Tochtrop. Although this deeply misguided measure will likely resurface in future years, I am encouraged by the fact that the will of the public prevailed.
Thank you for your vigilance on this issue – the number of e-mails and phone calls the Senate has received about SB 170 has been overwhelming. On a close vote, public input can make all the difference. Do not hesitate to contact me in the future with any questions or concerns: 303-866-4881.
Sincerely,
Ted Harvey
