    AR-Immigrant tuition break rejected by Senate panel

    Immigrant tuition break rejected by Senate panel


    March 23, 2009 6:44 PM ET

    LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Despite an endorsement by the head of Arkansas' flagship university, a bill to grant the children of illegal immigrants in-state tuition has been rejected by a Senate committee.

    University of Arkansas at Fayetteville Chancellor David Gearhart told the Senate Education Committee on Monday that he supports a bill by Sen. Joyce Elliot, D-Little Rock.

    The Senate panel later rejected Elliott's proposal on a voice vote. The bill would grant in-state tuition to any student who attended high school in the state for at least three years and has a high school diploma.

    Opponents of the measure told the panel that they were concerned the measure would encourage illegal immigration.

    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
