Forty protestors, including 20 undocumented students, stormed a University System of Georgia Board of Regents meeting on Tuesday morning to speak out against a USG policy.

Policy 4.1.6 bans undocumented students from attending Georgia public universities, including the University of Georgia.

Students involved included undocumented students from Freedom University in Atlanta, as well as student allies from UGA, Georgia State University and Emory University.

The students linked arms in the meeting room to show solidarity, according to a Freedom University Facebook post.

According to the post, the meeting continued. But 40 minutes into the protest, the board passed a rule requiring all in attendance to be seated. The students sat, but stood up again 10 minutes later.

They were then escorted out by Capitol police, and no arrests took place.

"Student opposition to the ban is spreading like wildfire across the state and across the nation," said Laura Emiko Soltis, executive director of Freedom University, in the post. "I hope the Board of Regents comes to recognize, sooner rather than later, that undocumented students and their allies are committed freedom fighters who know their place in history, and they will not rest until they win."

Typical media overage of an illegal alien demonstration. a close shot of a gaggle of illegals with their fists in the air and their mouths open chanting and demanding that which they are NOT entitled to. They should b rounded up and shipped back to where they crawled over here from insteaad of being allowed to clutter the streets. JMO
