It's a subsidy if the state law gives assistance or breaks or preference to Jersey residents (that's fine, but it's still a subsidy presumably footed by Joisey tax payers). So if undocumented immigrants who live in Joisey -- Christie is too much of a weenie to call them by their more accurate name, "illegals" -- receive in-state tuition breaks in Joisey, Joisey residents are still paying for it and so are non-Joisey residents who pay full tuition.

I maintain that the government HAS ZERO BUSINESS deciding on whether or not students get tuition breaks, assistance, loan help, or anything else. THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSINESS IN EDUCATION, particularly in higher education. It is a principle of limited government. A no brainer.

Christie is a loser and those who vote for him thinking they're voting "against" his opponent are engaging in unicorn fantasies. When they vote for Christie, they are voting for a man who is principled around MORE and BIGGER GOVERNMENT.

Christie's take here on in-state tuition for illegals (and his careful refusal to call them that) is prototypical of the mindset that American NEEDS TO DISCARD.
