President. each foreign stude: who receives nonimmigrant student st: tus under 8 U.S.C. 1101 (a) (15) (F) required as a condition of receiving th status to sign an affidavit certifying th: he is financially able to support himse for his entire period of study. And yi an undetermined number of these st. dents are receiving subsidies paid for t the American taxpayer. The Immigration and Naturalizatio Service claims it cannot bring sanction against these students because it is nc illegal for them to request and receiv this assistance. When the Minneapoli HUD area office tried to prohibit thes handouts. they were told by HUD official in Washington that there is no statutor: basis for eliminating foreign student from housing subsidy programs. Now I understand that when the Hous. recently considered the HUD appropri. ations bill. they included in the bill. ai amendment to prohibit the Departmen of Housing and Urban Development frorn giving housing subsidies to nonimmi. grant student aliens.
