Mr. Speaker. should Americas taxpayers pay to send illegal aliens to college? Well. thats what the Houses rewrite of the Higher Education Act would do. The House bill makes students eligible for all Federal student aid if they are citizens. or permanent residents. or have received a diploma from an American secondary school. Since our secondary schools are under court order to educate children of illegal aliens. and since many other foreign students in scholarship and exchange programs receive U.S. diplomas. there could be large numbers of aliens qualifying for taxpayerfinanced grants and loans. Mr. Speaker. this is ridiculous? The U.S. taxpayer should not be forced to send illegal aliens to college! We must get rid of this provision! The Higher Education reauthorization is already in conference with the Senate.
