NEWARK — After receiving a flood of requests to attend, Rutgers-Newark has stopped taking registrations for Saturday's first-ever college fair for unauthorized immigrants.
Rutgers officials are turning away students asking to attend the event after receiving 220 registrations, said Carla Capizzi, a Rutgers-Newark spokeswoman.
"We've reached capacity," Capizzi said.
The event, called "undocuRutgers," is the first time the state university is offering an admissions event designed for "undocumented" applicants who are living in the country illegally.

Campus officials said they were prompted to hold the admissions session after receiving questions from unauthorized students about how to apply.
In 2013, Gov. Chris Christie signed the New Jersey Dream Act, which allows unauthorized immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to attend New Jersey's public colleges at in-state tuition rates.
The new law does not permit immigrants living in the country illegally to apply for state or federal financial aid or loans. But unauthorized immigrants qualify for in-state tuition rates if they sign an affidavit saying they have applied or plan to apply to legalize their immigration status.
The Rutgers-Newark event is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday on the Newark campus. Admissions officials from Rutgers and several county colleges are slated to attend.
The three-hour event includes sessions on how students can apply to college as unauthorized immigrants. Participants will also receive advice about paying for college.
Representatives of Rutgers-Newark's law school will be at the event to advise students on applying for a waiver allowing them to remain in the U.S. temporarily under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals measure signed by President Obama in 2012.
Rutgers officials have promised participants in the college fair that neither their names nor immigration status will be given to government officials or agencies if they attend.

That's a "deal-killer".

Yes, so have most of America's schools, colleges, highways, jails, prisons, courts, emergency rooms, etc...!!!!

Illegals need to go home as the current laws say they should.

Overall Admission Rate 60% of 30,631 applicants were admitted

http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/c...?schoolId=1441

That means 40% of the students who applied to attend Rutgers were rejected, which means over 12,000 students, largely American and mostly from New Jersey were denied the opportunity to attend this state public university. So why in the world would a public university that is turning away Americans Kids, mostly from their own state, make some special admissions event for illegal aliens who aren't even supposed to be in the country to learn about this university when it clearly doesn't have the means or space for all the American Kids who would like to attend their own state university in their own country?

This is madness, and the good citizens of New Jersey need to raise holy hell about it.

We're being betrayed by our governments and publicly-funded 501 C 3 institutions to keep the borders open for the drug cartels behind illegal immigration. Americans want jobs, but do you see them bowing or kowtowing or creating anything special to help American Workers find jobs or better wages? Americans want a better life, but do you see them ignoring laws to help Americans have a better life? Nope and Nope. So, this kowtowing to illegal aliens has nothing to do with the people themselves, it has only to do with keeping the borders open, maintaining a steady stream of illegal aliens to run the massive cartel-controlled illegal drug trade, and line the pockets of the politicians and officials in government and these 501 C 3 tax frauds getting their pockets and wallets lined by the drug cartels for helping them out.

There's no other explanation for this behavior. They're all on the take with the cartels.
