Students Must Pay To Make Up Difference In Out-Of-State Tuition.
Was it a promise kept, or a promise broken?
Four years ago in an auditorium at Cole Middle School, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper promised the 300-plus students in attendance that he would find a way to send each of them to college for free.
Now, the first group of those students is set to graduate, and some are finding that the mayor's promise isn't adding up.
The promise only pays in-state tuition, and state law requires illegal immigrants to pay out-of-state tuition.
So undocumented students must make up the difference.
under Colorado state law undocumented students must pay out-of-state tuition no matter how long they've lived in the United States.

The illegal immigrants could be sent home ?
No word if the mayor considered that option.

I am amazed at the gall of anyone to complain. They got a free education they didn’t deserve on the American taxpayers dime.

In Texas Illegal Aliens pay in state tuition.
Can anyone guess what Texas Governor signed that into law?

They aren’t “undocumented students”. They have been attending the school and having records taken as to attendence, class participation, etc. They are ILLEGALLY in the country.
The media LIES.

I voted that they shouldn't get scholarships too but my real answer wasn't there. No scholarships, no free tuition and kick them out.

Could someone tell me WHY illegals are getting any money at all for college? If they EARN a scholarship then it honestly doesn't bother me if they get money for college, but it should come out of the same scholarship pool that would normally go to foreigners and they should be paying out of state tuition.

Four years ago in an auditorium at Cole Middle School, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper promised the 300-plus students in attendance that he would find a way to send each of them to college for free. Under what authority or law did this dolt make this promise? He's a rat, so he feels the rest of the state is obligated to cough up the cash to cover his a$$.
ICE should be there graduation day checking papers.

When registering for college I was told that grant students have priority.
I wondered if these grant student included folks like this.
If so, then I’m ticked!

That was my second choice.
I wasn’t trying to keep up with things back then.

under Colorado state law undocumented students must pay out-of-state tuition no matter how long they've lived in the United States. Just like other international students. They deserve no special treatment.
