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.

Proposition 300 plays role in MCC enrollment drop

The parking lots are still jammed at Mesa Community College, but enrollment dropped 8.6 percent in two years from a peak of more than 27,462 students in spring 2005 to 25,097 in spring 2007.

Enrollment for this spring is not completed, but is lagging based on early numbers.

Among the contributing factors is Proposition 300, passed in 2006 by voters to deny cheaper in-state or in-county tuition to students who cannot prove U.S. citizenship.
