HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH)– There’s a big push at the Capitol to persuade lawmakers undocumented college students need access to financial aid. A bill that would do just that is not likely to get the support it needs.
There are two bills. One in the House and one in the Senate. Together they would allow students to get financial aid here in Connecticut, regardless of their immigration status. The proposed legislation is getting both praise and criticism. All of it known as the “Students for a Dream Movement.”
On Wednesday morning, a coalition of higher education institutions, labor groups, faith leaders and community organizations will stand with undocumented students in support of the two bills.Those who support it say it will equalize access to financial aid at public colleges and universities, adding it will benefit colleges and Connecticut’s economy and comes at zero cost to the state.
Two weeks ago undocumented students made their way to the Speaker of the House to throw support behind all of this. One of the people spearheading that effort is Eric Cruz Lopes. He submitted a petition with thousands of signatures in support of the bill. Two days before that, he was arrested for writing anti-Trump graffiti on the UConn campus. Police have been investigating him for nearly 6 months.They say he confessed to that graffiti and is now facing 103 different charges.
There are now concerns that his arrest could hurt this entire movement.
“It is contradicting to that, they want the right of freedom and they have those freedoms but then to denigrate somebody’s name, no matter if you like the person or not, to me that is unacceptable,” said Dave Yaccarino, (R)North Haven.
“The poor decisions of one student should not become an excuse for people to paint all of these hard-working deserving young people with that same brush,” said Sen. Martin Looney / (D) New Haven.
This bill has lost a significant amount of support and will most likely not even make it to the floor for a vote. There are also a number of people who find this bill troubling, saying undocumented students should not receive financial aid, adding that it takes away from those students who are legal citizens.
They can shove their demands up their collective Obamaholes.
I’m out of this state. Done.
[adding it will benefit colleges and Connecticut’s economy and comes at zero cost to the state.]
LOL I’ve heard that one before.
I'll drive. How does SC suit ya?
CT is going broke, run by Democrats.
They’ll probably get everything.
Beautiful. Perfect ICE opportunity. Roundup.
I can only assume ICE will be there with buses.
Too bad their response just can’t simply be “Americans first”
They are not “undocumented students”, they are ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Send in ICE.
Just like in Texas.
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
Imagine if that was attributed to Donald Trump in 2016.
Liberal minds (oxymoron) would explode.
Raise the tuition for locals and give it away for free to illegal aliens—great plan—if you are a Democrat. :-(
Then they wonder why they lost the White House, the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, the governor races, the state Senate and House races.
Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
It is amazing that _anyone_ votes for them.
Try going down old Mexico way and demanding they feed, house, medicate and educate you. all at no charge to yourself.
You would wind up in a 3rd world calabozo or laughing academy. Enough of this BS.
GTHOOMC!
Wouldn’t an undocumented student be someone who attends school without registering? If I did that, would they give me a degree?
Fort Mill was the place I was eyeballing... ;)
They may need several paddy wagons!
And malloy is about to announce that he’s hitting the taxpayers with a huge set of increases and cuts. None of the cuts will affect the “immigrants” and other members of the solid left voting block.
ICE could use a little help from Rowdy Yates and Gil Favor..."Head'em up, move'em out.".
I am dreaming of having ICE show up and remove these leeches.
