Georgia clamps down on illegal immigrants in colleges

Georgia public colleges has passed new policies to prevent illegal immigrants from attending high demand schools and from being admitted ahead of legally and academically qualified at the rest the state’s public institutions. The State Board also approved legal penalties for providing incorrect information on any tuition-related forms. The new tuition policy will take effect in fall of 2011, so Georgia can strengthen their colleges by classifying the students properly. Illegal immigrants will not be able to attend the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, the Medical College of Georgia, Georgia State University, and Georgia College & State University, which all have already turned students away.

I think this is a good idea because it’s not fair for people, who are legal to compete against students that are illegal. I know there are other countries that are not provided with the greatest education and immigrant students do deserve to experience a good education, but they should enter our country by obeying the laws legally, because it’s not fair for people who are legal citizen that works just as hard.
