Missouri Seeks F1 Visa Limits
Filed Under F1 Student Visa, Immigration News
Illegal immigrants in Missouri may soon find it very difficult to enroll in public schools and colleges after the House granted initial approval to a bill that would prevent illegal aliens from attending state educational institutions.
The bill would follow a previous resolution for English to be the official language of the state of Missouri.
If the measure is passed, not only will illegal immigrants be barred from applying to state universities, but registrars of each school would be legally required to show their school has no illegal immigrants before the state will grant any money to their institution.
Rep. Bryan Stevenson says, “Why should we subsidize someone who criminally enters the state? Are we then subsidizing crime?”
