What is MALDEF?

“We’re going to take over all the political institutions in California. In five years the Hispanics are going to be the majority population of this state.” Caller: “You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn’t like it they should leave – did you say that?” Obledo: “I did. They ought to go back to Europe.” Here.

• The below is a quickly posted example of what Georgia’s Dual Enrollment program really does for illegal aliens.
• We note that GOP state Rep Steven Sainz told us in January he would work to pass a bill to reform this program but didn’t drop it until long after it had any possibility to pass in the 2024 session. It was HB 1509 – introduced on *March 21, 2024. The session ended on March 29, 2024. (*typo on date corrected on this line.)
• Any reform should require Dual Enrollment applicants to be either U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders). This will prevent the otherwise illegal aliens who have been improperly/illegally granted “parole” by the Biden administration to access the taxpayer-funded college classes.

Greetings!

Thank you for your interest in the College of Coastal Georgia!

My name is Shane Apps and I work with incoming local freshmen and dual enrollment applicants.

Based on current legislation, you are correct on both statements regarding dual enrollment and post-secondary admission for undocumented students.

Please note that these policies are subject to change as we follow state of Georgia and University System of Georgia mandates.

Attached to this email is a flyer that goes over the admission requirements for dual enrollment applicants. (Note: See the flyer posted here – dak)

I look forward to working with you and your students throughout this process!

In Mariner Spirit,

College of Coastal Georgia

Dear sirs,

Upon our relocation to Glynn County next year, we are looking forward to admissions/class attendance to your college for our offspring – two of whom are high school students  We are citizens of Mexico and are undocumented.

We want to take advantage of the dual enrollment program. One child will be in grade 11 and the another in grade 12. They are also undocumented.

Please confirm that after they are enrolled in high school and demonstrate the required grade point score that they can take the college level classes in the dual enrollment program at no tuition cost? We understand that the state will also pay the cost of books and fees. We think it is accurate that after they graduate from high school, they will have to pay the out of state tuition at CCCG?

Our oldest child (who has graduated high school and is undocumented) is already living in Glynn County as of January, 2024. He wants to attend CCG as well starting in Jan. of 2025. Our understanding is that regardless of the fact that he will have lived in GA for more than a year, because he cannot present “proof of lawful presence” he will be charged the out of state tuition rate but can be admitted.

Put another way, we are trying to confirm:

* Dual enrollment students in Georgia high school pay zero tuition or books and fees for classes at College of Coastal Georgia regardless of immigration status. 

* Undocumented students who are already out of high school must pay the out of state tuition rate and for their books and normal fees at CCG.

Please confirm the above understanding is correct and accurate?

Thank you so much for your time. We look forward to your reply and any corrections to our understanding.

Our friend and neighbor helped us write this letter.

We trust the information here will be kept private.

Respectfully, ***** & ********
