Repeal of Nebraska Tuition Bill Draws Support
Plan to repeal Neb. law giving discounted tuition to some illegal immigrants drawing support
By JEAN ORTIZ
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb.
Nebraska lawmakers are set to again consider repealing a law that offers tuition breaks to some illegal immigrants, and the looming debate is already drawing support.
A majority of lawmakers participating in an Associated Press pre-session survey say they support rescinding the offer made after lawmakers fought to override Gov. Dave Heineman's veto to pass the law in 2006.
Of the 33 senators responding to the survey, 18 said they support repealing the measure, while six said they don't. Eight said they're unsure. One senator, Amanda McGill of Lincoln, didn't check an answer, but offered a comment asking for more sanctions on businesses.
"Immigrants come here for jobs," she said. "Not for tuition."
The 2006 law benefits students whose parents brought them to the United States illegally. It allows Nebraska high school graduates who aren't U.S. citizens or legal residents to attend a Nebraska public college or university at the in-state tuition rate. They must have lived in the state for at least three years and must be pursuing or promise to pursue legal status.
Nine other states — California, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin — have such in-state tuition laws for students who are in the country illegally. Oklahoma repealed its law in 2008.
Nebraska state Sen. Charlie Janssen of Fremont introduced an amendment earlier this year to repeal the law, but was blasted for tacking it onto another immigration bill after it made its way through committee debate. Janssen backed off, but promised to bring the tuition issue back.
He now plans to introduce the legislation next month and says he has an obligation to do so.
"The federal government has failed to act on this and now we're being forced to act on this," he said.
Students currently participating in the program and those who have applied would be exempt if the law were repealed, Janssen said.
As of mid-December, 35 such students were enrolled in the state university system, according to figures compiled by Janssen's office. That includes 17 at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and 15 at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. State colleges reported none, and community college officials didn't immediately respond to a request for the information.
Janssen's office didn't have data on past enrollments.
Supporters of Nebraska's law say it gives an incentive to students to remain in high school, get an education and eventually contribute to society and the economy of the state.
Lawmakers shouldn't punish those students, said Sen. Bill Avery of Lincoln.
"They are the future of our nation and having an educated work force will be necessary in the coming decades," he said.
Opponents say it's unfair to offer a discount to those breaking the law. They also say it sends the wrong message about Nebraska's stance on illegal immigration.
"It is unfair to the citizens who must support the benefit, and it is unfair to those across the world who abide and respect our rule of law," Sen. Tony Fulton of Lincoln said.

New Jersey defeats in-state tuition for illegal aliens
Good thing New Jersey defeated this awful bill which would supply tax paid dollars for in-state tuition for illegals. Entrance to in or out state tuitions for college needs to be reserved for our US citizens. good nite all

I know I speak for all ALIPAC'ers when i say to all the newer members posting with us now......WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME! It warms my heart to see more and more patriots joining our ranks. People who understand what's at stake.
Thanks to you, we are winning more and more of these battles and the momentum is now on our side of this struggle. This is a heavy wagon that we pull because of the traitorous politicians not only in the district of criminals but also on the state and local levels as well, who are more than eager to sell out our great nation to the evil globalist agenda. Each new puller who hitches up with us makes that wagon a little easier to pull for all of us.
We should go to any campaign rallies that we can this year on any level and question candidates on this issue at every opportunity. Make them take a stand publicly. Don't accept the "that is a federal government issue" dodge. Ask them what they think should be done about the 40 MILLION or more illegals on American soil as we speak. If they give the wrong answer, BOO THEM in front of everybody. Let them know that we expect these invaders to LEAVE our country. They have got to feel the heat from the American voter. They have to "get it" what an important issue this is to the American People.
And finally, new folks, network and bring your friends on board with ALIPAC when you can. I talk to strangers at the grocery store, gas station or anyplace I can get a chance to "bend their ear" on this issue. Almost always they are in agreement with us but might not know about ALIPAC and other patriot organizations. Many are eager to become active but simply don't know how. Spread the word.
WE WILL TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK.
