Dancer’s DREAM Act Follow Up

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

Illegal Immigration SignIn light of the N.J. Dream Act’s enactment, Save Jerseyans, Assemblyman Ron Dancer (R-Ocean, Burlington, Middlesex and Monmouth), who voted against the controversial legislationwants to guarantee that all New Jersey students register with the Military Selective Service.

“Now that Gov. Christie has signed a law allowing undocumented students to attend our public colleges at the in-state tuition rate, it makes sense to remind them, and all applicants, of their legal responsibilities,” said Dancer in a press release. “If you are a male between 18 and 25 and living in the country, you must register with military selective service. That’s the law.”

Dancer’s bill, A-2181, students must verify on their college application whether they’d registered with the Military Selective Service. Registry for the Selective Service is already a precondition for financial aid.

“This is a reminder that before signing up for in-state tuition, prior to applying for college, you have an obligation that must be fulfilled,” added Dancer. “There are rules and laws that need to be followed, and this one is pretty straight-forward.”
