At a time when Americans believe immigration to be the most important issue facing the nation, the Eleventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled that Georgia’s state colleges and universities can’t be forced to admit illegal immigrants as students. And that includes aliens who qualified under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program implemented by former president Barack Obama in 2012. In an opinion handed down earlier this month, a three-judge panel upheld the right of the Georgia Board of Regents, which runs the state-university system, to verify the “lawful presence” of applicants before granting them admission as students

Amazing that the our courts have upheld the law and common sense. I recall being shocked 10 years ago when a Federal (?) court in Illinois required local school districts to educate illegal minors.

There´s a Bill in the Republican-controlled Arkansas Legislature right now that would mandate in-state tuition for the so-called "dreamers. Idiots.

This is my secret hot button. My folks couldn´t afford to send me to college (back in 1960), but my brother was getting combat pay and HE offered to pay for it. We were only 2nd and 3rd in family to go to ´´higher education,´´ we were born in the USA of parents so born, therefore we were not ENTITLED by our relative poverty to have it handed to us.
BTW, I had never heard of an in-school job until I got to college, but those jobs were eagerly snapped up by the townies. We didn´t have any pre-college counseling back then.

Why just college? How about any taxpayer dollars that are spent on any schooling. Not to mention free health care, food stamps, legal assistance, etc. The whole concept is unbelievable, yet we let our communist legislators push it through.

Same with my family. We are all American citizens dating all the way back before the Revolutionary War. My father left mom when I was 4, my sisters were 1 month old and 8 years old. We lived in a garage- no heat, no bathroom. We were allowed to use the neighbor´s restroom. None of us ever received a dime until finally, welfare came along- a pittance at the time, but we had a house with heat. YaY! But, no college advantages from the govt. No free medical, no free housing, no free college. I went to university on the GI Bill and company training credits where I worked. None of my sisters were given so much as a penny for education.
Now, why is it my own government can take in illegal immigrants, who barely speak a word of English, have no known education records of any kind, and grants them full university tuition, housing, medical, etc? How did we ever get into this condition of insanity?

Something that is so wrong and so illogical can only be explained one way: The whole illegal scheme, from lack of border security to college tuition (or lack thereof) discounts is nothing more than democrats cultivating (buying) voters.

If you are here illegally, you have one and only one right -- to leave.

How about a declaration of policy from the President that reads -- colleges and universities, if you take federal money, then you shall have no illegal aliens in your enrollment.

The University of California prides itself in having the highest number of DACA students. They get DACA privilege and full ride tuition. I do not understand why African-Americans are not furious at having their Affirmative Action privileges handed off cavalierly to undeserving Aliens.

Webster´s defines a "right" as: "something to which one has a just claim."
If, by exercising such a claim, one deprives another of life, liberty or property; that claim is not a "right".
Nobody, nobody, NOBODY!; has a "right" to an education. An education must be sought after, earned and paid for by the individual who desires it. Nobody has a "right" to the time and resources of others. To think otherwise is to condone slavery. When government takes from individuals, it is not exercising a "right". It is exercising a POWER. Governments do not have rights; governments have powers. These powers are either legitimate (deriving from the consent of the governed) or illegimate (usurped).
I could be wrong. But I´m not.

Attempts to allow illegal aliens into colleges and universities undermines the non-immigrant foreign student provisions of the immigration laws.
Why should foreigners comply with the immigration laws and come to the USA as legal non-immigrant foreign students and have to comply with all the terms of admission for foreign students in the immigration laws and pay full tuition, when they can join the massive illegal alien population and get into colleges and universities and not have to follow any immigration related rules and not have to pay full tuition?

Well, obviously so.
They have NO rights to ANYTHING inside the USA, other than being deported.
Deport all of them, give them NOTHING. They are all theives, stealing jobs, health care, welfare, food stamps and much more. Thieves should be punished, not rewarded.

Free tuition for illegal aliens is total insanity. They should not be eligible for it; nor should they be eligible for any other entitlements or benefits granted to citizens. They are not citizens. I believe that if we bet rid of the freebies, we will get rid of the prime reason people jump the border; they expect something for nothing. They´ll get nothing for nothing, may get arrested and deported. Maybe they´ll rethink and not come in the first place.
