Letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Sharing Higher Education Immigration Recommendations for Budget Reconciliation

The Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration writes to urge the Senate to incorporate the following provisions through the FY 2022 budget reconciliation legislation: (a) incorporate a roadmap to citizenship for undocumented students, Dreamers, DACA recipients, and TPS holders; (b) expand Pell Grants and ensure that the expansion also provide eligibility to undocumented students, including DACA recipients; (c) ensure that any provision providing free community college also includes eligibility to undocumented students, including DACA recipients; and (d) include an expansion of dual intent for international students. Enacting these policies will not only provide much needed and well-deserved protection for vulnerable populations, but also promote the United States as the preeminent destination for international students and scholars to study, live, and work.
