This bill aims to restrict higher education benefits for aliens not lawfully present in the United States by amending section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. It establishes that public institutions of higher education will be deemed ineligible for Federal financial assistance if they charge unlawfully present aliens tuition at a rate equal to or less than that for U.S. citizen state residents, or if they provide state-based financial aid to such individuals. Similarly, a State will lose Federal financial assistance if it charges unlawfully present aliens tuition at a public institution of higher education at a rate equal to or less than that for U.S. citizen state residents. The bill's findings emphasize that Federal taxpayer dollars should prioritize the education of United States citizens and lawful residents, and that current practices create inequities and undermine uniform Federal immigration policy. Furthermore, the legislation codifies Section 4 of Executive Order 14287, which pertains to preventing Federal benefits for aliens in sanctuary jurisdictions, giving it the force and effect of law.
