HARTFORD — The House was mired in a day-long debate late Wednesday over a bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to get state financial aid at Connecticut’s colleges and universities. Although the Democratic majority appeared to have the votes to pass a bill amended to match legislation adopted last week by the state Senate, Republicans offered late amendments to make further changes. "We have two pillars of fairness here," said state Rep. Fred Wilms, R-Norwalk, who proposed an amendment that would set up separate tuition accounts for legal and undocumented students and allow colleges to draw financial aid from each.
