Five Public Colleges in Georgia Ban Illegal-Immigrant Students
By ROBBIE BROWN
Published: October 13, 2010
ATLANTA — Education officials in Georgia voted Wednesday to bar illegal immigrants from attending the state’s five most selective public colleges, a decision that immigrant rights groups threatened to challenge in court. …
“…But D. A. King, a Georgia-based opponent of illegal immigration, said the ban was only the first step. Republican state lawmakers are expected to introduce bills next session to extend the ban to all state colleges and to institute a more aggressive illegal immigration policy similar to one in Arizona. “
“An earlier version of this article misstated D.A. King’s position on immigration. He is an opponent of illegal immigration; he is not “anti-immigration.” The article also described Arizona’s recently enacted immigration law as anti-immigrant rather than an attempt to crack down on illegal immigrants. “
