Because they are willing to take advantage of stupid Americans.

The dang judges only reinstate such a case because they fear losing their own jobs in the current budget meetings while illegals’ benefits are likely to continue.

I moved to California last year from another state, and thus, had to wait one full year to become an in-state student. I was actually at the residency desk (they combine it with “international students” desk) and had to wait over twenty minutes to get someone who barely spoke English to look over my documentation. Nice to know that someone who came here illegally takes precedence over someone who played by the rules.

It’s California’s Mexican Assembly and Senate.n They prefer illegals to citizens.

Finally. American students should be filing these kinds of lawsuits all over the country, anywhere where illegals are given instate tuition (Maryland comes to mind) and lawful residents of other states aren’t. I think the Equal Protection Clause speaks to this.

In-state tuition for illegal aliens is a violation of Federal Law. Federal Law Title 8, Chapter 14, Sec. 1623 states:

"an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State... for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit."

Aliens and Nationality - 8 USC Section 1623

Sec. 1623. Limitation on eligibility for preferential treatment of aliens not lawfully present on basis of residence for higher education benefits

(a) In general
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.
(b) Effective date
This section shall apply to benefits provided on or after July 1, 1998."
