News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

AWC and NAU-Yuma will begin verifying students' legal status

When college students line up to register for their next semester of classes, they will have to prove they are in this country legally.

And local college officials are concerned that some students may be dissuaded from continuing their education.

A new law, which Arizona voters approved as Proposition 300 in November, requires all state university and community college students to verify their legal residency prior to registration, or they will not be eligible for in-state tuition.

These requirements went into effect Dec. 7. It is getting its first real test now as students sign up for their summer and fall classes.
