One of the amazing things Trump has been doing in his second term, is going after states that offer in-state tuition for illegal immigrants at public colleges. His Education Department has filed multiple lawsuits over this.
In Florida, they have taken things a step further. The Florida Board of Education has just voted to ban illegal immigrants from even being enrolled at public colleges and universities.
Other Republican led states should follow suit. Our system of higher education has been abused by illegal immigrants for years, emboldened by the radical campus left which seeks to transform the United States into a third world hellhole.
FOX News reports:
Florida board votes to ban illegal immigrants from public college admissions
Florida’s State Board of Education voted Tuesday to move forward with a policy barring illegal immigrants from being admitted to the state’s public colleges, marking the latest effort by state leaders to tighten immigration rules in higher education.
The board voted 6-1 to make the Sunshine State’s 28 state colleges and the state’s adult education programs inaccessible to illegal immigrants.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that the only vote against the measure was from member Daniel Foganholi, who the outlet said was a first-generation American born to immigrants from Brazil.
But the state board said it did have the authority to implement the rule, citing Florida statutes that pave the way to allow it to create admission criteria, the Sentinel noted.
Higher Ed Drive reported Thursday that, in 2023, the state was home to approximately 50,000 illegal immigrant students, according to the American Immigration Council.
Last year, Florida ended a program that let illegal immigrant students under DACA pay in-state tuition.
The Orlando Sentinel identified Alex Liberman, one of over 50 people who shared an opinion during public comment, who said that, “Education is not meant to be a policing system for immigrants.”
The left will throw an absolute fit over this. Let them.

This is the right thing to do and it’s long overdue.
The left has been in control of higher education for decades and everyone can see where that has gotten us as a nation.
