PROPOSAL TO BAN UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS FROM ATTENDING STATE COLLEGES

Some Georgia lawmakers (yes, some antis again) want to ban undocumented immigrants from attending any public colleges and universities in the state. The Georgia Board of Regents already has barred undocumented immigrants from certain in-demand schools, such as Georgia Tech, Georgia State and UGA. For some anti-immigrants it is not enough and they want a law to ban them in all of Georgia’s 35 public colleges and universities, and its 26 technical colleges.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Brett Harrell, says taxpayers may be paying for the education because the tuition doesn’t cover all costs. Untruthful assertion because even the undocumented pay state taxes on housing and items that they purchase. Does Rep. Harrell also suggest to exempt undocumented immigrants from paying sales tax for example?
Also, why should young intelligent people be penalized for the sins of their parents? Many of these children were brought to the U.S. at a very young age by their parents. I guess Rep. Harrell is not a real Christian.
