There are enough people who, suffice it to say, don't know what ILLEGAL means.

If they seek and are granted legal residency (e.g. become a resident alien or a legal immigrant), then there's no reason why they can't pay the prescribed state tuition. A legal resident (heck, a legal immigrant) who has the means and the mind to go to college shouldn't be denied his chance.

If they're here illegally, then the universities ought to treat them like international students and charge out-of-state tuition. Because that's exactly what they are.

To allow these to get off the hook and pay in-state tuition is an insult to not only those who worked their butts off to seek legal channels of entering our country, but an insult to every taxpayer that is basically subsidizing college for people who have no right to be here to begin with.

This young woman falls into the latter category. Therefore, it is only just that society treat her as such.
