FAST FACT: D.A. King considers legal action to force the Georgia Board of Regents into compliance
Today’s Marietta Daily Journal:
Federal law says post-secondary education is a public benefit, and illegal immigrants are not eligible for public benefits. But the statement issued Friday by KSU references Regents policy rather than federal law, and D.A. King, an anti-illegal immigrant activist says that is wrong.
The Board of Regents sets policy for the 35 public colleges in the University System of Georgia.
“The Board of Regents allowing an illegal alien into our publicly funded post-secondary education system is a violation of both federal and state law,” said King, who is considering initiating lawsuits in both federal and state courts against the Board of Regents, including seeking a temporary restraining order to stop all admissions until the Regents comes into compliance.
