Compromise would let states bill illegal immigrants for schooling
Washington AP Republicans clash over an immigration bill as Trent Lott and Orrin Hatch present a compromise to Specter that would allow states to charge tuition to illegal immigrant children in public schools. Districts would bill families for new enrollees who prove legal status, with protections for existing students and a sunset review after two and five years. Specter’s support links to a committee plan to merge House and Senate versions, while Gallegly backs the compromise to curb benefits attracting unauthorized entry.
