LITTLE ROCK -- An incoming state senator is asking higher education officials in the state to get behind a renewed push to approve in-state college tuition rates for undocumented students who graduate from Arkansas high schools. Some state university chancellors say they are supportive, though Gov. Mike Beebe maintains federal law prohibits what former state Rep. Joyce Elliott of Little Rock proposed in a failed 2005 bill that Elliott plans to resurrect when the 2009 legislative session begins in January.

As a result, illegal immigrants were able to obtain home mortgages which they could not afford.
