It is against federal law to offer in-state tuition to illegal aliens. The federal Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 “prohibits states from providing a postsecondary education benefit to an alien not lawfully present in the United States on the basis of residence unless any U.S. citizen or national is eligible for the same benefit.”
Sanctuary cities are also illegal under federal law, but no one is doing anything about it. Do you want to leave it up to the states as well?
Kabar’s posts on immigration are really great tonight....worth re-reading imo. Good job and glad he posted.

Hunstman (Why is he there?)
isn’t there something peculiar about a federal MANDATE to the states and localities that they must educate (medicate/house/feed) children of illegal aliens, K-12, but then that same body, the Congress, makes it illegal to offer those same students in-state tuition if that’s the state’s choice ??
