Poll results show most in state want illegals barred from public colleges<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sixty-seven percent of people polled last week by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research for the Georgia Newspaper Partnership favor a law requiring proof of legal residency to attend a Georgia college or university, while 22 percent opposed such a law and 11 percent were undecided. <\/p>\n

The Georgia Newspaper Partnership poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. of Washington, D.C., from Sept. 13-15. Six hundred twenty-five likely voters were interviewed by telephone. Voters were randomly selected from across Georgia.<\/p>\n

The margin for error is plus or minus 4 percentage points, which means that there is a 95 percent probability that the \u201ctrue\u201d figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. <\/p>\n

The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a regional or gender groupings.
\n Illegal immigrant students are now allowed to attend college if they pay out-of-state tuition, but state lawmakers have said they will introduce a bill to change that policy early next year.<\/p>\n

The poll results came as no surprise to D.A. King, founder of the anti-illegal immigrant Dustin Inman Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a finite amount of classroom seats,\u201d King said. \u201cIt\u2019s always been a mystery to me for seats to go to people who are deportable at any time and cannot work upon graduation when unemployment is 10 percent.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
