It’s a long shot, but two Democratic state lawmakers have offered a bill for the 2012 legislative session that would create a pathway for undocumented immigrants to get in-state tuition, the News Service of Florida reports.
The bill (HB 81, SB 106) allows an immigrant brought here illegally who has spent three years at a Florida high school, to be eligible for in-state tuition at a Florida college or university.
At the national level, a similar bill called the DREAM Act has been offered for years, but has yet to be approved by Congress.
With a Republican-controlled Legislature in Tallahassee, the Dream Act Bill, might be just that– a dream.
