Florida Senate Rejects Benefits for Illegal Aliens
"A bill that would have allowed in-state college and university tuition for certain U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants died Tuesday on a tie vote in the Senate Higher Education Committee," the Miami Herald says.
"Opponents were unmoved by emotional testimony from a 20-year-old Miami-Dade College student. Instead, Sen. Steve Oelrich, a Gainesville Republican who chairs the committee, interrupted Carla Montes to dispute her contention that having to pay out-of-state tuition is unjust and unfair."
