Best ever, Secretary of the Department of Education Betsy DeVos Blocks Emergency Aid For “Undocumented” Students.

Best ever, Secretary of the Department of Education Betsy DeVos Blocks Emergency Aid For “Undocumented” Students. The Trump administration on Tuesday prohibited undocumented college students from receiving emergency federal cash assistance for expenses like food, child care and housing.

The economic rescue law passed by Congress gives $6 billion to colleges to dole out to students for expenses stemming from the disruption on campuses caused by the pandemic. But Education Department officials in new guidance said the money can go only to students who qualify for federal financial aid — U.S. citizens and some legal permanent residents.

That prevents undocumented students from accessing the money. How sweet is that?  What say you?
