Undocumented Students Could Access Federal College-Prep Programs Under Biden Proposal
2024-02-01
[InsideHigherEd] Opening up the college-prep programs to undocumented students has been a priority for years. But some administrators say the political climate is too fraught to make such a change now.

"Nearly 100,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools each year, and they can’t access federal college-prep programs because of a decades-old federal law. The Education Department is proposing to open up those programs to noncitizens, a long-sought priority for advocacy groups and higher education associations,” said Miriam Feldblum, executive director of the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, a nonprofit focused on raising awareness about how immigration policies affect students and colleges.
I wonder what Mike Rowe would think about this lifeline to our indoctrination centers?

#10  The number I’ve been seeing for years is 20 million illegals in the continental U.S.

I'm afraid it's be a lot more than 20 million by the time Biden is finished.

#8  Gummint schools are not about educating children. They are strictly job mills for educrats and a source of union money for leftist politics.

#7  We used to be better at bringing students with no English up to speed rapidity through immersion. Now the immersion is into social engineering instead of academics.
The graduation rate for illegals is low for those who are enrolled in school and not working as slaves of one sort or another. To goose the graduation rates, academic standards are reduced. One of my children was in a special education tract in California schools. The classes were full of Spanish speaking kids that weren’t motivated. They were just be rolled down the assembly line and out the door with a diploma.

#6  Yes, taxpayers must help get them into college so they can apply for college loans that will be forgiven pushed off onto the taxpayer for repayment.

#4  Yep. We had them back in '19nn'.
Unengaged students only in town and class when their parents were picking a seasonal crop.
Paired with a tutor/mentor student who functioned mostly as a caretaker.

#3  An actually solid statistic:

How many school districts are there?
There are 13,318 regular school districts in the U.S. (2021-22, Source)

That’s an average of 7.5 illegal graduates per district, most of which have only one high school/secondary school.

#2  The number I’ve been seeing for years is 20 million illegals in the continental U.S. Compared to that, 100,000 isn’t that much.
