On Monday the Georgia Senate passed a bill that would ban undocumented students from Georgia’s 60 public colleges. If Senate Bill 458 becomes law undocumented students will not be able to attend state colleges even even if the student can pay full tuition upfront. "Georgia’s already got [a ban of sorts on undocumented students attending its top five most competitive schools](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/14/us/14georgia.html). This law would expand the ban to the entire state college network," said Julianne Hing, Colorlines.com’s immigration reporter.
