Bills control college future of illegal immigrants’ kids - Tennesse

Two proposed laws — one federal, one state — would deal with Moya’s situation in far different manners. The federal Dream Act would let her and students like her enter public colleges and universities and would even hold out a possibility of in-state tuition.

Tennessee’s plan would bar state schools from admitting her and others who cannot prove they’re in the country legally. Proponents say House and Senate bills would open up spaces for other students.

“I don’t think they should be here in the first place,” said Rep. Stacey Campfield, the Knoxville Republican who is sponsoring the bill. “We kick kids out of school all the time for bad behavior and criminal activity. I happen to think illegal immigration should be on that list.”"*
