RESPONSE TO STATE REPRESENTATIVE KARL WIMMER

"In State Tuition For Undocumented Students"

 

Salt Lake City, UTAH – This morning as all of us woke to read the headlines on The Salt Lake Tribune "Wimmer's bill would deny undocumented students in-state tuition" http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/50926751-76/wimmer-utah-state-undocumented.html.csp is slap on the face to Latinos on the eve of Christmas. Representative Wimmer's bill clearly is a political move ready to please the extreme right of the Republican party as he explores a run for Congress on the new 4th District, said Tony Yapias, director of Proyecto Latino de Utah.

I am a graduate of Evanston, High School and it seems that Rep. Wimmer needs to do some fact checking. Students from border states qualify for out of state waiver on their tuition. It is irresponsible for Rep. Wimmer to say that "It's fundamentally unfair that an American-born citizen from Evanston, Wyo., would have to pay more to go the University of Utah than an illegal immigrant. It's fundamentally flawed." Very obvious that Rep. Wimmer doesn't know what he is talking about, added Yapias. 

Latinos will unite along with moderate, compassionate Utah Republicans, democrats and those who signed the Utah Compact to make sure his bill does not impact current law that allows Utah undocumented students to attend higher education.
