Re; Citizen complaint, violation of state public benefits and immigration laws by the Georgia Board of Regents, University System of Georgia<\/p>\n

Special Agent Andrews,<\/p>\n

Please regard this as my official citizen complaint and notification to you of clear violation of Georgia state law regarding verification of lawful presence within the United States for purposes of obtaining and administering public benefits \u2013 OCGA 50-36-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently members and official spokespersons of the Board of Regents (BOR) of the University System of Georgia have made several public statements regarding the policy set forth to regulate admissions into Georgia\u2019s public funded universities. In doing so, that governing body has made it clear they are aware of the fact that ineligible aliens are not only admitted, but are welcomed into the Georgia university system and are presently attending classes. <\/p>\n

Further, that the policy set forth by the BOR knowingly awards and allows instate tuition rates to illegal aliens who illegally reside in Georgia, while denying that same tuition rate to U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n

It is my contention that admission of illegal aliens into the Georgia university system is a clear violation of OCGA 50-36-1, as Georgia law is based on and references existing federal law.
\n(8 USC 1611<\/a> as well as 8 USC 1621<\/a>– \u201cAliens who are not qualified aliens or nonimmigrants ineligible for Federal (& State and local) public benefits\u201d.<\/p>\n

The BOR is in complete and defiant disregard of the fact that Georgia law is designed to protect Georgia\u2019s finite \u2013 and shrinking <\/a>– public benefits from the ravages of the organized crime of illegal immigration. <\/p>\n

I also submit that the instate tuition scheme is an easily recognized violation of both the letter, spirit and intent of 50-36-1 as the Georgia law is also based on and references 8 USC 1623, which addresses and limits eligibility for preferential treatment of aliens not lawfully present on basis of residence for higher education benefits.<\/p>\n

Georgia law clearly requires the Board of Regents to comply with federal laws: (7) \u201cFor postsecondary education, whereby the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia or the State Board of Technical and Adult Education shall set forth, or cause to be set forth, policies regarding postsecondary benefits that comply with all federal law including but not limited to public benefits as described in 8 U.S.C. Section 1611, 1621, or 1623.\u201d<\/p>\n

The number of eligible and eager citizens and lawful aliens who have been denied admission <\/a>to, or instate tuition rates in, Georgia universities is unknown to me.<\/p>\n

As a proud but concerned U.S. citizen, I am hereby respectfully requesting an investigation and that any resulting case be forwarded to the Attorney General of Georgia for prosecution. <\/p>\n

If I am incorrect in assuming that your office has authority to investigate obvious flagrant and public violations of Georgia law, I would be grateful for any guidance your office can provide to direct me to the proper authorities or agency.<\/p>\n

As an aid to your investigators, below I include a list of names of the 18 individuals who make up the Board of Regents<\/a> of the Georgia University System of Georgia and for whom this complaint is intended, as well as officially listed contact addresses.<\/p>\n
