Let me see if I understand:

Someone breaks into the coutry illegally, stays here five years, living in garbage cans and under bridges in California. After five years he or she comes to Maine and we have to give them college rates, within the State college and university system, equal to resident rates?

But, if my neighbors youngest, a naturalized US Citizen, goes to, say California to attend a state college or university, he has to pay non resident rates?

Do I have this right?????

You left out the part about them being elegible for grants and loans. Plus lots of illegals aren't poor. We get plenty of people from asia sending their kids here (Wash.) to go to school. Can't blame them for taking advantage of it if it's made available.

Someone breaks into the coutry illegally,

In state tuition rates are a bad idea, but the part about people who were brought here as infants and never even knew they were here illegally until they graduate highschool are the exception to the deport-them-all round up I'm normally behind. THese people didn't break in, they were dragged in. Deport the parents.
