What do you think about Early Colleges?

What do you all think Bill banning illegal immigrants from Ga. colleges clears House panel suppoters get angry?

• Illegal immigrants would be barred from attending Georgia's public colleges under legislation that passed a key House committee Monday.The Republican-led House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee passed Senate Bill 458 after about two hours of discussion. The measure passed the GOP-controlled Senate on March 5. Sen. Barry Loudermilk, a Republican from Cassville and the lead sponsor of the bill, spoke in favor of his bill. “One of the arguments you may hear today,” Loudermilk told the committee, “is what is wrong about allowing someone who may be here illegally to take one of the seats in one of our colleges or universities, if they just want to better themselves and they want to become a productive member of our society. Well, that is a good argument to make. However, it is a federal crime to hire someone who is illegally in this country.” Loudermilk paused several times to consult anti-illegal immigration activist D.A. King, who sat by the senator’s side during the hearing. King is president of the Georgia-based Dustin Inman Society, which advocates enforcement of U.S. immigration and employment laws. Most of the people who spoke during a hearing on the bill Monday opposed the legislation, including Suttiwan Cox, the founder and principal of the Path Academy charter school in Brookhaven, where most of the students are Hispanic. “It is better to have educated unemployed people than non-educated unemployed people,” she said. “Why don’t you get them to work and ask them to pay back student loans?” Moments later, Cox suggested banning students from colleges in Georgia could lead to crime. “What are you going to do with hundreds or thousands of kids who [finish] k-12 and then cannot go to college and then walk the street. They end up robbing you. And what are you going to do? You are going to build more jails instead of building children?” http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/bill-banning-illegal-immigrants-1391035.html Another blow to Mexico who is sending their people here for free college educations !
