The State Board of Education of Alabama passed a new policy that bars irregular immigrants from attending 2 year colleges despite the fact that four of the nine members were absent during the vote. Starting next spring, applicants to the community colleges will be required to show an Alabama driver's license, state ID card, an unexpired U.S. drivers license passport, or an unexpired U.S. permanent resident card. All international applicants must provide a visa and official translated copy of their high school/college transcript along with exam scores and proof of financial support.
The board’s action came one month after North Carolina’s State Board of Community Colleges voted to bar irregular immigrants from enrolling in the state’s 58 community colleges while it commissioned a study on the politically charged issue.
Again, lets hope the Federal DREAM Act passes soon!
