So they were banned from going to college in Virginia prior to this announcement?
As I understand it the issue is that in-state residents pay a lower, state-subsidized tuition for state schools.
What this means is that as a US citizen and New Jersey resident, if I drive my kid down to Virginia to go to a state school I will pay a higher tuition than if we were both llegal citizens of Mexico and I had snuck her in to the country. As an illegal alien I would have the taxpayers of Virginia subsidizing my child’s education, but as a NJ resident I’m S.O.L.
Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
