SB799 fails. No tuition for illegals!

SB799, the in-state tuition for illegal aliens bill, was defeated in the Senate Education Committee. I want to thank all those who called their legislators about SB799. Several Conservative groups participated in stopping this bill from passing, including keeparkansaslegal. The Senate was suppossed to adjorn around 2:00pm, but it ended up being around 3:00pm. Joyce Elliott first introduced SB799 and then took questions from the Senators. Senator Kim Hendren asks Joyce Elliott about the legal problems that will occur if SB799 were to pass. Joyce Elliott attempts to claim that the legal problems have been somehow resolved and then claims that it doesn't really matter. After this video, there is testimony from those for and against SB799. That video footage will be posted at a later time.
