Bondi reaches an agreement with Kentucky on the school fee policy of illegal immigrants

A trial brought by the Attorney General Pam Bondi against the Kentucky public education apparatus concerning tuition fees for illegal immigrants has led to an agreement to put an end to practice, said Kentucky’s Attorney General Russell Coleman, Fox News Digital in an interview on Thursday.

Coleman said that Kentucky Council on PostSecondary Education (KCPE) had agreed to modify state policy two months after the Ministry of Justice brought the court for the first time for a provision in the law of the State 13 KAR 2: 045.

The continuation alleged by the policy of Kentucky violated 18 USC 1623, which stipulates that “notwithstanding any other provision of law, a foreigner who is not legally present in the United States, unless a citizen or a national of the United States is eligible for a post-secondary education.

The DoJ had initially appointed the governor of Kentucky Andrew Beshear as a defendant, but the Beshear office previously told Fox New Digital that Kentucky Council on post -secondary education was independent of the Governor’s office.

Coleman noted that governors, however, have a role in the appointment of the members of the Council.

“Under the current federal law, any illegal immigrant is prohibited from the eligibility for post -secondary education benefits, such as state tuition fees, unless the same advantages are offered to all American citizens,” said Coleman.

Bondi noted in a press release obtained by Coleman’s office that “no state can be authorized to treat Americans as second class citizens in their own country by offering financial advantages to illegal foreigners”.

In his interview, Coleman said that the decision was not entirely official as long as the federal district judge signs the agreement between the parties – which he underlined is only a formality.

“Non-sense is not a term that I did not expect to use as often as last year,” he said about the case.

“It is a term of a book by Harry Potter or a Roald Dahl book, but insane is perfect and what we are dealing with here,” said Coleman about what he called the establishment of illegal immigrants and non-citizens before the Americans.

Coleman said that the original policy has prompted the non-citizens to come to Kentucky on other states that may not offer them the same lightness.

“There is a joint request for what is known as a judgment of consent,” he said, adding that he had officially published any declaration on the case on this subject because of the judge who must sign the consent agreement.

In the previous reports of Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Beshear noted that the governor had no authority on KCPE, but Coleman did not seem entirely convinced of the dynamics.

Beshear “will not hesitate to credit a positive policy that comes out of KCPE,” he said. “He has appointed most of the KCPE members and in the real world, you are responsible for those you call for these roles, whom you have an influence on those you call for this role, but of course, which wants to keep you away from this because of the absurd nature of that.”

Coleman, who was a former American lawyer before becoming the best lawyer in the Commonwealth, said he shouldn’t have taken Bondi and the Trump administration to end tuition fees in the state for illegal immigrants in the state of Bluegrass.

“I applaud the fact that (KCPE) did the right thing and followed the law, but it took the Ministry of Justice and all its legal leverage effect and the Director of the Application of State Laws by choking the legality before doing the right thing,” he said. “It’s disappointing.”

“They should be the guards of these institutions,” he said. “What they are doing is important and we have big universities in this Commonwealth. They must focus on incitement. The best and most brilliant to come to this Commonwealth, and not to encourage those who are out of status, which violate our laws.”

He also said he hoped Bondi will continue to pursue other states of more than a dozen states with similar policies.

“I am fully on board with the return of common sense and if it protects the girls against men who play in their sports to enforce federal law in the context of immigration,” he said. “I am for our universities that support our best and most brilliant and not perpetuating this incentive to those who are out of status to fill seats in classrooms.”

“It is not only illegal, he returns to the notion of simple and absurd head scratch.”

Fox News Digital contacted the Beshear office, the Ministry of Justice and a Kentucky Council representative on post -secondary education for comments.
