New Jersey Lawmakers Push to Grant Tuition Breaks for Illegal Aliens
Lawmakers in New Jersey are poised to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens following a recent flurry of activity from pro-amnesty groups. The special interest groups have launched an eleventh-hour attempt to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens before Governor Corzine leaves office this month. The outgoing governor supports the long-stalled legislation and has said it is one he would “put high on the agenda.” (The Star-Ledger, December 10, 2009). Corzine lost his re-election bid to Gov.-elect Christie, who opposes the idea and has stated that only lawful taxpayers deserve a tuition break because they help subsidize in-state tuitions. Id. The bill, which advocates have been pushing for eight years, passed state Senate and Assembly committees last week. (The Philadelphia Inquirer, January 8, 2010). However, a vote on the controversial legislation scheduled for last week was postponed by state Senators, which could indicate the bill lacks the votes needed to pass. (Gannett State Bureau, January 7, 2010). Both the Senate and the Assembly will take up the bill Monday, which is the last day of the legislative session. Id.
On the federal level, amnesty advocates in the House are also pushing similar legislation. On December 15, 2009, Representatives Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Solomon Ortiz (D-Tex.), along with over 90 other amnesty supporters in the House of Representatives, introduced a radical amnesty bill, H.R. 4321, the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009,” (CIR ASAP). This legislation contains a sweeping amnesty program that would legalize millions of illegal aliens in the United States. (See FAIR’s Legislative Update, December 22, 2009). The DREAM Act (also known as the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act), is sprinkled throughout the bill. The DREAM Act was re-introduced in Congress in March 2009, and grants amnesty to a broad range of individuals who meet certain minimal educational requirements and permits states to give taxpayer subsidized in-state tuition to illegal aliens. (See FAIR's Legislative Analysis of the DREAM Act, March 2009; To learn more about activity on the DREAM Act this year, read FAIR’s Legislative Updates from March 30, 2009, April 13, 2009, and April 27, 2009).
Critics of the DREAM Act point out that there are a limited number of college admissions spots available for incoming freshman each year, and that for every illegal alien who enters college, an American citizen is displaced from enrolling in college. (See, e.g. CNN Newsroom video). Eleven states currently give discounted tuition to foreign students who are in the country illegally, and amnesty advocates are working hard to push lawmakers in other states to pass similar measures despite the current economic crisis and the unpopularity of granting tax-subsidized benefits to illegal aliens.
FAIR has just released a detailed summary of CIR ASAP. See our in-depth analysis of the bill for more information.
