The Issue
Whether or not illegal immigrant children should be educated at the elementary, middle school, high school and college levels in the United States is a hotly debated topic. Some lawmakers have pushed for prevention of children being educated even at the youngest grade levels. On the opposite end of the spectrum, other lawmakers think illegals should get special breaks so that they can attend college.
Current Status
Legislation is still pending on major proposals. Some states have passed laws allowing illegals residency tuition benefits.
Background
Illegal immigrants, and what to do about them is an age-old issue. In terms of legislation about educating illegal children:
- Although this is not a legislative issue yet, many illegal immigrants cannot register for college because they do not have a social security number.
- In 2003, the revised DREAM Act (S-1291) was introduced in Senate, proposing that colleges and universities be encouraged to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens residing in their states, and that certain students, after proving themselves through college, military and/or community service, could earn permanent legal status in the U.S.
- In 2002, California passed a law granting in-state resident tuition rates to illegal aliens living in California.
- Proposed in 2001, The Student Adjustment Act, (HR-1918) would permit any high-school student illegally in the U.S. but with five years of good moral conduct to qualify for college financial aid including Pell Grants. Furthermore, those students would be exempt from deportation and could immediately apply for permanent residency.
- Prop 187 sought in 1996 to allow schools to deny public education to illegal immigrants.
- The 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act prohibited states from extending tuition rates to undocumented aliens based on residency.
- In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that undocumented immigrant children are entitled to free public education.
