i tkink it should b laws stopping any and all aliens fron being admitted in any of the tax payers public or any private schools .or any of there children from going to OUR schools.
Joseph: This is about Selective Service registration, not illegal aliens. Perhaps you commented on the wrong bill?
What's the point of this? Selective Service gets everyone's name and address already, everyone already gets notices, and Conscientious Objection is already an option.
What is this actually intended to help?
I thought it was a requirement already to be admitted...
So women won't be able to attend any state university or college? Because women don't have to register as of now. Isn't this already the law in Virginia?
Actually, it looks to me like this bill doesn't do at all what the bill summary says it does. According to the summary, it would obligate public university students to register for selective service. But the bill says:
All that this bill would do is add the words "for admittance or" to the existing legislation, legislation that lets gives universities permission to enforce any of a series of rules. This is just one more rule that they're given the power to enforce.
Man, it drives me nuts when bill summaries are flat-out wrong. Richmond Sunlight has a "bill notes" function that those of us behind the site can use to add further bill details right after the bill summary. I've never employed it, in part because I worry that I might do so in a way that's partisan (or would be perceived as that), but bills like this really tempt me.
Current federal law requires all males between the ages of 18 and 25 living in the US to register for the draft and limits access to federal student aid to those who have registered.
The Selective Service System is encouraging all undocumented males between the ages of 18 and 25 living in the US to register for the draft as the law requires.
Here's what they say on their website, http://www.sss.gov/:
This bill would extend the requirement to prove (if you are a male between the ages of 18 and 25) that you have registered for the draft as a condition of admission to any Virginia public college or university (rather than just financial aid as is the case now).
