They have to pay the tuition. (In Texas)

Keep in mind that the 12-16K who qualify under the in-state tuition law are undocumented and documented immigrants.

The approx. amount paid by the above runs $ 30 million/year.
That is what they PAY.

Now some do get approved for aid. The amount of aid for the above mentioned 12-16K students is between
$ 10million and $ 20 million/year.

So Texas Universities come out ahead approx.
$ 10 million to $ 20 million per year.

And also, everyone in Texas including illegals pay taxes because we have a sales tax here but no income tax.

So, everyone in Texas pays taxes when they purchase most anything except food and Bibles. Legal, illegal, immigrant, Texas natives, Texas move-in or anyone visiting from anywhere.

Yeah but illegals dont always pay federal taxes and Texas receives tons of federal dollars which they then can use for illegals...Second an education is a magnet and college is not required by the USSC.
