Amended House Bill 1684 -- Amended 4/1/2019 by Senator Joyce Elliott to add immigrant qualifications
HB 1684 has already passed the House (see vote), and is currently on the full Senate floor TODAY (Tuesday, April 2, 2019) at 1:00 pm.
ACTION ITEM: Shown at the bottom of this article are the names and contact info for all of the Senators. BE SURE TO CONTACT THEM and let them know you do NOT want HB1684 to be passed. Urge them to VOTE NO on it.
The problem here is an open borders policy, folks! Open borders are a potential threat because of violent gangs, drugs, weapons, diseases, radical practices and religions, as well as being expensive to the American taxpayer, etc. Why shouldn't we consider our National Security, as well as the impact on our society and our economy?
What about in-state tuition for all U.S. citizens out of state, if they qualify? Secure Arkansas is weary of unequal practices of ignoring the needs of our students.
Our country has good federal immigration policies, but they are NOT being enforced! Unfortunately, the U.S. taxpayer bears the financial burden of the world, and therefore our standard of living is progressively declining...
This bad bill attracts more illegal aliens into our state.
If this bill passes the Senate, this policy would wrongly reward illegal aliens who entered the country illegally and will boost student enrollment. We should be concerned that the bill would draw large numbers of illegal aliens to the state and will become a financial burden to taxpayers.
This law would take college seats away from U.S. citizens and make the state a magnet for more illegal aliens... and the policy would violate the 1996 federal law limiting benefits for illegal aliens who came here illegally.
Federal law prohibits giving in-state tuition to those who are here in the country illegally. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA) specifies that “notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any post-secondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.”

Illegal Aliens in U.S. Schools
Here are a couple of excerpts:
"Of the projected 50.7 million public school students entering prekindergarten through grade 12 in fall 2018, White students will account for 24.1 million. The remaining 26.6 million will be composed of 7.8 million Black students, 14.0 million Hispanic students, 2.6 million Asian students, 0.2 million Pacific Islander students, 0.5 million American Indian/Alaska Native students, and 1.6 million students of Two or more races. The percentage of students enrolled in public schools who are White is projected to continue to decline through at least fall 2027 along with the percentage of students who are Black, while the percentage of students who are Hispanic Asian, and of Two or more races are projected to increase (source)."
"Current expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools are projected to be $654 billion for the 2018–19 school year. The current expenditure per student is projected to be $12,910 for the 2018–19 school year (source)."
When large influxes of immigrant students come into schools and universities -- students who have large gaps in schooling and whose linguistic and cultural differences do present challenges for teachers, and will at times, cause friction in communities -- some parents will raise concerns that new arrivals will negatively impact their children’s education. (As the number of ESL children rise, this WILL pose a challenge to schools.)
In closing, the fiscal impact of illegal aliens effects federal, state, and local budgets! Hundreds of billions of dollars...
Note: 12,000 to 15,000 Marshall islanders are living around the Springdale area, and Tyson employs many of them. In the 1940s, the U.S. Military tested 67 nuclear bombs in the islands. (We're thinking these islanders should NOT be included in this illegal immigration issue!) They were relocated to this area because of the devastation of the bombing. They now have their own clinic, and operating costs are shouldered by the state (taxpayers).
