Florida bans illegal aliens from admission to state colleges and universities

Florida's state Board of Education has voted to ban illegal aliens from being admitted to Florida state colleges and universities as well as adult education programs. The vote was 6 to 1. This is the latest in a series of moves by the state of Florida to combat illegal immigration.

Last year, the Board of Education denied access to in-state tuition for DACA illegal aliens. These are illegal aliens who claim to have been brought into the country as children, but are not required to prove that claim. Other illegal aliens had previously been denied in-state tuition. Now they cannot be admitted at all, at any tuition rate.

Florida has also passed a law to make the presence in the state of an illegal alien a state crime, although that law is being challenged in court. Federal courts have recently put their stamp of approval on similar laws in Texas and Tennessee.

In our own county, Beaufort County Community College has an administration with a record of pandering to illegal aliens. When the left=leaning members of the county commission approved a plan like that proposed by Bernie Sanders of free tuition at the community college, it was unclear if that means that Beaufort County taxpayers are paying tuition for illegal aliens to attend.

Florida is on the cutting edge of fighting illegal immigration. In another area to deal with illegals mooching "free" health care at emergency rooms, which drives up the cost of health care and health insurance for all of us citizens, they passed a state law to discourage it. Under federal law, they could not just exclude them from service, so they required all emergency room patients to provide immigration status information for the records if they were not citizens. Illegal aliens got nervous doing that so the numbers of them using emergency rooms to mooch "free" health care dropped dramatically. Paying patients and their insurance companies should not have to cover freeloading illegal aliens, and this new Florida law cut that down a lot. From the hospitals perspective, they have to charge somebody so they raise what they charge paying patients.

North Carolina should pass a similar law to hold down the health care costs of our citizens.

Foreign students at universities normally have to have a student visa to enroll. Why should illegal aliens have a more permissive standard than other foreign students?

That is also a good question about Beaufort County Community College and one that needs to be answered.
