When we leave out these capable students, it is a lose-lose situation. Please acknowledge their interest in contributing to the betterment of our state and allow them to attend UGA.

The ban is highly counterproductive. It does absolutely nothing to contribute to an achievement of reform in immigration reform. At worst, the ban is merely mean-spirited.

Education should be an equal opportunity. For those who were brought here at age 2 for example, this is their home. After 12 years in the public school system, it is absurd that after that, they are considered "aliens".......

Open the door of education to all people; an expired immigration system should detain you from one of the points on your mission statement:
...commitred to excellence in a teaching/learning environment dedicated to serve a diverse and well-prepared student body, to promote high levels of student achievement, and to provide appropriate academic support services...

In my eyes all students are equal. They all offer the same promise. It is up to us to he as educators to help them fulfill their potential. Everyone has something to gain, especially our state.

Please, do not shut the doors of higher education to our undocumented students. From the practical point of view, communities have bore the cost of all primary and secondary schooling to prepare them to contribute more to society,THE ONLY SOCIETY THEY KNOW! Talent should not be thrown away for worthless attitudes of prejudices and false reasoning of economics. DO THE RIGHT THING. OPEN THE DOORS TO THE UNDOCUMENTED!!

Undocumented or not, they are human beings and should be guaranteed access to the basic human right which is education. They are part of our society and only through access to good quality education they can become productive members of our community. Lifting the ban is then, in the best interest of the entire community of GA.

We must strive for everyone to be able to get an education. What Georgia is doing with this non sense of placing out of state tuition to the DACA recipients is unacceptable! Please we are better than that!
