How They Voted: Suzio Votes Against Educational Assistance For Undocumented State Residents

The 2018 regular session of the State Legislature has come to a close. There were a number of bills that were controversial. This is the second of a series of brief reports on how those who represent our city voted in the capitol.  The description of the bill is from a State publication, Major Public Acts.

-------------------
A new law allows certain students without legal immigration status, including honorably discharged veterans, access to institutional aid to attend a state public higher education institution. The act extends eligibility to these students if they meet certain residency, age, and criminal history requirements and file with the institution an affidavit about their intent to legalize their immigration status.

The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 30 to 5, with one absent. It passed the House by a vote of 91 to 59.

    Yeah, let's just ignore them and make sure they are less employable.
