Texas Will Push Illegal College Students to Apply for Status
"A Texas law that permits some undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college tuition rates, an issue that helped send Republican Gov. Rick Perry's presidential campaign into a downward spiral, is set to be adjusted Thursday in an effort to remind students of their promise to seek legal status. Thursday's vote on a rule change by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is a small step toward putting more pressure on those students to follow up on their pledge," Fox News Latino writes.
Meanwhile, trustees at the State University of New York said they support giving assistance to illegal aliens.
"The current demographic realities of New York State indicate that many of the brightest and hardest-working students eligible to enroll at SUNY are of undocumented status, and it is imperative that SUNY remain accessible to these students," said H. Carl McCall, chairman of the board of trustees.
