Undocumented students get in-state tuition rights (school, politicians, states, federal)

[Miborn]

As someone that has a child college age and looking out of state this *****s me right off!

New York is one of 13 states that have immigrant-friendly tuition rules. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a California law that sets out tuition rules similar to those followed in New York. The case, Martinez v. Board of Regents of the University of California, revolved around whether a federal statute prohibited a state from granting in-state tuition. It does not.

New York, California and the 11 other states can safely continue to grant undocumented students in-state tuition rights.

Most colleges admit undocumented students but, in many states, they are treated as out-of-state residents for tuition purposes. That can mean tuition many times the amount paid by resident students.

I agree with you.

You could find out who they are, hold a press conference and report them to the INS.

Politicians hate press heat.

If you take it a step further how does it look to kids from other countries who come here for school that do not get this incentive.
