Here’s a thought. Require the students to start the citizenship process, and start taking the required classes for it, if they want to get the in-state tuition rates. If they’ve been here all their lives, and have no connection to their parents’ ‘home country’, this is, for all intents and purposes THEIR country, and they should become citizens. It wasn’t THEY who broke the law, but their parents; they had no choice in the matter. So get them going on their own citizenship, and then they can sponsor their parents. If they can get a college education, it’s more likely that they will work hard bring their whole family out of poverty into a better life.
Oh, yay, let’s reward the parents for years of breaking the law, probable identity theft, and sucking off the welfare state!

So you are FOR amnesty. Duly noted.
I am not.
