Beyond alien crime, this week we have an update on HB 2787, in-state tuition for international students illegally in the country, awaiting action in the Oregon State Senate.
A reminder for your listeners, House Bill 2787 is legislation that would allow illegal international students attend Oregon’s four years universities at the same rate as legal U.S. citizens of the state while excluding those same tuition opportunities to lifelong residents of neighboring states (See link).
http://www.leg.state.or.us/13reg/measpdf/hb2700.dir/hb2787.a.pdf
The sponsors of HB 2787 are State Representatives Michael Dembrow, John Huffman, Bob Jenson, Betty Komp and Senator Peter Courtney; co-sponsors are Representatives Joe Gallegos, Sara Gelser, Chris Harker, Jessica Vega Pederson, and Senators Mark Hass, Rod Monroe and Chuck Thomsen.
Considering how many unemployed or under-employed young people there are in this state, it is unconscionable that the preceding Representatives and Senators would be willing to spend Oregon taxpayer money to educate illegal international students so those same students can use that education to compete for scarce jobs with young person’s legally present in this state.
There are two things your radio listeners can do to express their rejection of HB 2787, in-state for illegal international students:
First, write a letter to their Oregon State Representative and Senator asking them to reject the legislation;
– Find your legislators at: http://www.leg.state.or.us/findlegsltr/
– Write your legislators at: http://www.leg.state.or.us/writelegsltr/
Second, write a letter to the editor of their local newspaper urging local legislators reject the final passage of HB 2787.
