Instate Tuition for Children of Illegals
November 3rd, 2011 by flanewsWhile Republicans continue to look for ways to stop illegal immigration in Florida two Democratic lawmakers are sponsoring legislation to lower the cost of college for the illegal aliens. State Senator Gary Siplin and Representative Dwight Bullard are filing bills to allow any kid who went to school in Florida from 10th grade through graduation to pay instate tuition as long as they were seeking citizenship. Siplin calls it a good investment.
Its to provide for us to receive our return on our investment by allowing these students who may be not have the citizenship at the right time to go to college, said Siplin.
The state is already required to offer public school to any kid in state regardless of their legal status. Siplin say giving them instate tuition will help the state get a return on their education cost.
