“Pearce is also carrying an illegal immigration bill which would ban those who are [illegally here] from attending state colleges and universities.”
So they are merely told not to register for VA colleges but are free to attend MD and DC colleges? If they are not going to be arrested and deported why not just make them pay the out of state fee to attend VA schools? Just asking.
valentius – here’s the exact language from the bill…
“an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible for admission to any public institution of higher education in Virginia”
I’m not going to surrogate for Del. Peace on this issue, but I think your idea is a pretty good one.
