At the risk of posting to myself and Tasksgirl only, I'd like to add that someone on our board mentioned that Senator Isakson does not support this bill because it gives free tuition to illegal immigrants, or something to that effect. When/if you call Senator Isakson, please emphasize the fact that the DREAM Act does not automatically give undocumented students access to in-state tuition, but rather amends the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to allow states to determine residency requirements for granting in-state tuition. If Senator Isakson's state of Georgia does not wish to do grant in-state tuition, then they do not have to. In a way, it's much like REAL ID.
