In Arizona voters passed a referendum called prop 300, which prohibits any college student who cannot prove that they are a legal resident from receiving any state funded support for school. Another bill along the same lines prohibit any illegal immigrants from receiving state money.
Administrators at several schools in Arizona are worried that the state my be pricing students out of school. Further more any student who has been in the country in school who may have intended on pursuing a college diploma, may be turned away for fears that they cannot afford to pay the cost, or the rising fear of deportation for illegal immigrants who are discovered.
The University of Arizona had 200 to 300 dropouts last semester, an unknown amount of those were undoubtedly Immigrants, maybe not all but a few. The law does not ban illegal immigrants from college, or does it try to capture illegal immigrants but it sure is making it hard for them to get an education. In my opinion I see where the state might save some money, but really at the cost of students dropping out, not pursuing higher education because they must face rising cost, and deportation as factors.
Thats no choice. Education was listed on the board for some problems people had. What your thoughts?

A US Bank in Bloomington was robbed Saturday morning by a individual that the FBI believes to be responsible for multiple robberies in Minnesota and South Dakota.
The robber is described as a white male, with big front teeth, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, and with a medium build. He was wearing a light-colored baseball cap, white t-shirt and a green and gray flannel shirt over a gray hood sweatshirt.
This robber is believed to be responsible for the Sept. 25, robbery of the TCF Bank in Fridley, Minn.; the Sept. 18, robbery of the Washington County Bank, located in Maplewood, Minn.; and three bank robberies in South Dakota on Sept. 26, Aug. 14, and Aug. 13.
"What’s unusual about this one is most of the bank robberies that this suspect has committed, we’ve have very good photos. But those right tips have not come in. So, we are hoping someone will recognize him," said special agent Paul McCabe of the FBI.
The FBI requests that anyone with information regarding this bank robbery contact the Minneapolis FBI at (612) 376-3200, the Bloomington Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
A reward is offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of this bank robber.
