The issue is being challenged in the courts, Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas v. State of Texas (University of Houston). The lawsuit claims the state laws violated the federal Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which “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.”

States ought not to be in the business of subsidizing illegal aliens. Every one dollar you make available to an illegal immigrant is one dollar you are not giving to one of your citizens. To grant illegal immigrants in-state tuition rates directly discriminates against non-resident U.S. citizens from surrounding states. That is a direct violation of the equal protection clause.

Do you support sancturary cities if it is the will of the state voters?

If THAT state is paying for it and not the feds. I do not like subsidizing anyone/thing. If a state wants to take its state tax dollars, a local community its tax dollars, and spend it on xyz, fine by me. I don't have to go to school there, do not live there.

I am not for feeding stray dogs, makes them stick around, but if the guy across town wants to feed him, fine by me.
