Children of illegal immigrants are suing school officials in South Carolina for denying them in-state tuition.
A class action lawsuit filed this week in federal court by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Appleseed Legal Justice Center charges that policies classifying the children of illegal immigrants born in the U.S. and living in South Carolina as “non-residents” for the purposes of tuition, grants, and scholarships are discriminatory.
“This class action lawsuit challenges the policies of the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (‘CHE’), the College of Charleston, and Trident Technical College that classify dependent U.S. citizen students who reside in South Carolina as ‘non- residents’ for tuition, scholarship, and need-based grant purposes solely because their parents lack requisite proof of citizenship or immigration status,” the lawsuit reads.
“These policies invidiously discriminate against Plaintiffs and other students who are U.S. citizens, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” it adds.
The suit was filed on behalf of three teens who argue that, despite the inability of their parents to prove they are in the country legally, they should be granted in-state benefits to pay for college in South Carolina.

They should sue for $1m each. Why not?
This anchor baby “law” has got to be changed. This baby dropping crap is BS.
Ask who their parents are and deport them, Now!
FUIA! GO HOME.
The citizens should sue the federal government for refusing to deport illegal aliens.
Sure, why not? Florida does it now. Stupid Republican FL legislature and stupid Republican Rick Scott allowed this. Putting illegals first over US citizens.
OK, every time conservative AMERICAN CITIZENS sue the federal government for gross violations of the Constitution, we are told by the courts that we have “no standing”.
Why do criminals in this country illegally get more “standing” in the courts than we do?
Which is why I LMAO every time someone on FR states that we will get relief in the courts.
Sorry, but my replies don't have a #2 button to press, illegal.
Or should I say it in Italian, where my grandparents came from. He was a safety engineer for a coal mine and built 7 homes. He did that job while learning English.
Here is what I think: 'Parla inglese si CRIMINALI ILLEGALI'
So true... I would love to see that law changed....and retroactive to 2001.
no standing.

If the racist apes at the Southern Poverty Law Center show up in a SC court, they might be arrested under the state’s anti-klan law.
The freeloading bastards are in America ILLEGALLY and we’re so flippin’ pathetic we allow the bastards to sue us. What ever happened to AMERICA?
If the kid is a legal redident of the state and a US citizen then they should get in state tuition.
To quote the Bard; “FIRST WE KILL ALL THE LAWYERS”.
Yes in state tuition discriminates...against those who don’t live in those states. A person living in Tn wanting in state tuition to a college in Kentucky can’t so these illegals think they’re better than a citizen!
Students who are dependents of their parents are charged tuition based on their parents’ legal residence. Why should children of illegal aliens be given preferential treatment and exemption from the rules which American students are subject to?
