GREAT news for everyone in Florida. Florida House of Repersentatives ratified a bill making qualified undocumented immigrants eligible for in state tuition at public universities and community colleges!! The Senate has approved it and Rick Scott has promised to sign it as soon as it reaches his desk.
I go to Valencia & I've been on Channel 9 news to talk about this..It really is great news for us Floridians. We're the 21st state to do this, right after Virginia!
The DREAMers at Valencia College really fought for this guys, so proud to go to that school that went all the way to Tallahassee and fought for this right! Jose Abastida played a huge role too, talked to the FL senators about why they should pass it. I have a newspaper in print but google Osceola Star and you should be able to find it.
