After our youngest child reached school age, my wife decided to go back to college and finish her degree. When I was stationed in New Mexico and again in Alabama, she had to pay out-of-state tuition. I didn't complain; we retained voting residency in Ohio so it seemed reasonable to be treated as out-of-staters, despite the fact I was stationed there in the presumed interests of national defense.
It really burns me to hear of people who want to allow illegals to get away with in-state tuition, when my wife had to pay out-of-state tuition.
I'm trying to visualize the scenario. The applicant goes to the college registrar and says, "I'm in the US illegally. I want in-state tuition." And instead of calling the cops and having the guy deported, the college registers him and charges only in-state tuition. Only in America?
I know, Joe. I was THRILLED when UCSB waived my out-of-state tuition. Heck, today it's automatically waived for "out of country" people. And they say we Americans ain't tolerant!
