Biden-Harris Issues Proposed Rule to Get Illegals into College Prep ProgramsJohn Binder 26 Jul 2024
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Department of Education is issuing a proposed rule to open taxpayer-funded college preparatory programs to illegal aliens. The programs were initially intended for low-income young Americans.
In July, the Department of Education rolled out its proposed rule to expand federal TRIO programs to illegal aliens — particularly those enrolled in and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, whom Democrats refer to as “DREAMers” because they would receive amnesty under the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.
The proposed rule seeks to get illegal aliens into TRIO programs, such as the Talent Search program, the Educational Opportunity Centers program, and the Upward Bound program, which were created and meant for low-income Americans from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“The Biden-Harris administration’s proposal would take college preparatory aid away from American citizens and give it to illegal aliens,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) told Breitbart News.
Banks, as Breitbart News exclusively reported, introduced the “American Students First Act” to prevent the Biden-Harris administration from offering TRIO programs to illegal aliens.
“Instead of waiting until 2025 for this America Last policy to be reversed, House Republicans should pass my bill to protect working American families’ access to college aid,” Banks said.
