Bill would bar all illegal immigrants from Ga. universities
From the Associated Press:
A Republican state lawmaker has introduced legislation that would ban all Georgia’s public colleges and universities from accepting illegal immigrants.
The Board of Regents last month adopted a policy under which the university system’s five most competitive schools are effectively barred from accepting illegal immigrant applicants beginning in fall 2011.
The legislation prefiled on Wednesday by state Rep. Tom Rice, a Norcross Republican, would prohibit all of the university system’s 35 schools from admitting illegal immigrants.
Rice said he did not think the Regents went far enough.
Immigration is expected to be a hot topic at the state Capitol when lawmakers reconvene in January.

You don’t have to have a social security number to enroll in school, just an address within the district. I know that we aren’t allowed to tell on students who tell us they are illegal because if we do we can lose our job. It’s a baffling thing that a school system that is run under federal/state regulation can knowingly break the law and harbor illegals. I myself lived and attended school in another country (Japan) and I had to have my equivilent to a VISA on me at all times….and my parents had to pay for me to go to school! My father also had to sign something saying that if I got into trouble that he was accountable and all sorts of stuff. Other countries have STRICT immigration policy and don’t tolerate ILLEGALS so why is it so hard for people here to comprehend????

Because the RCs have taken over and want the illegals here to take the pressure off their slave aristocracies elsewhere in their “Latifundium.” “They” know what “they” are doing. Fortunately some patriots do too. With G-d on America’s side I don’t like Rome’s chances in Our Land.

There is a big difference between hate and not supporting those breaking the law. I don’t hate immigrants, but I do have a HUGE problem with ILLEGALS. Let’s see you singing praise for other law breakers such as drug dealers, rapists, thieves, etc….

One day, California with its fortune and fame, is going to fall off of the face of this earth…with its storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes…
Fine the employers $5,000 for each one and start in Gainesville. Georgia is said to have more illegal immigrants than Arizona…more
than $600,000.

We shall succeed as the American Nation only insofar as the People regain sovereignty by displacing the transparently obvious fascist plutocracy now ruling over us through the corrupt “bi-partisan” political buffer caste which has promoted and protected illegal immigration for thirty years in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church’s published stratagem.
Obey the Creed’s three mottoes and serve, and be prospered by, the “King of America,” the Creator, or submit to that which Our Founder identified as “the real Anti-Christ,” through the embrace of sympathetic pawns pushed here for the express, stated purpose of overthrowing Our Creed and culture…ASIC there weren’t enough slums and brothels in the regions of the world already under the control of Rome’s pedophile priests and fascist false-elite.
Wake up, America. Those who support illegal immigration are witting orunwitting agents of treason whose only goal is the completed destructionof the People and America.

To BOO they survive in our country because they use dead people ssn numbers to work and our employer don’t care,we had someone working at my company alot of us reported it ,and guess what we were told by the immigration the list was long. Then we learned six months after she quit that the owners moved her from one hotel to another because they was looking for her to deport her.

Fine the employers if you want to stop illegal immigration.
Big fines. Even if they’re bigwigs in the Republican party, which you can bet they are.
Punishing children for what their parents did is mean-spirited and evil.
Banning kids from getting an education is absurd.
Public education is the bedrock of this country and our democracy.

The bill is to little almost too late. If the CEOs and Board of Directors take the money, then they should be the first to be locked up when ILLegal Alians are Used, and I do mean USED. The boil has been festering for over 30 years; ignored by both parties. Time to secure the borders. And O by the way… Just see what consequences await if you get caught as an Illegal South of our border.

They can’t deport all of us. No amount of laws is going to stop us from feeding our families.
