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.

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

The University of Arizona reclassified 119 students as non-residents during the fall semester as the university implemented a new state law prohibiting illegal immigrants from paying in-state tuition or receiving any state financial aid.

The UA reported its progress on implementing Proposition 300 — passed by 70 percent of Arizona voters in November 2006 — in a letter Monday to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. In its first required report in June, the UA said it had not verified legal in-state status for 877 students, but since then 758 students have provided the university with the necessary documentation, said UA spokesman Johnny Cruz.

The UA enrolled 37,217 students for the fall semester and verified the U.S. citizenship, permanent residence, or lawful immigration status of 33,843, according to the letter from Paul Kohn, vice provost of enrollment management and dean of admissions.
