23 other states have similar policies. And in GA (since 2008), undocumented students can’t enroll at UGA, GA Tech, or GA College. This nation was built by immigrants, what the hell are we doing here??

Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez framed their brief space tourism flight on a centibillionaire's rocket as path-paving feminism. (It wasn't.)
