Texas Congressman wants to Make It Easier for Illegal Immigrant Students to Attend College
You a fan of these proposed bills, or not?
A U.S. congressman has introduced two bills that would make it easier for illegal immigrant students to attend college.
Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX) introduced the American Dream Promise Act and the Fairness in Financial Aid Act on June 16, just three days after Veasey submitted a resolution “honoring the bravery of undocumented immigrants.”

The American Dream Promise Act would prohibit universities from discriminating against applicants based on immigration status, forbidding them from turning down a student “on the basis of the student’s immigration or naturalization status.”
