New Jersey Tuition Bill
This is really too bad. The New Jersey Senate killed off a bill allowing undocumented immigrants in-state tuition. Most of those affected have probably lived the greater part of their lives in the US and likely know no other home. But for the administrative issues of immigration status, they would qualify for in-state tuition. It’s hard to appreciate the policy perspective here. If these kids are allowed to go to college despite not having an immigration status that permits it, it seems the state is simply exploiting their immigration status to increase revenue. That is, there really are only two honest choices here: (1) strictly uphold immigration laws by denying the kids admission to college due to their immigration status; or (2) ignore immigration issues and admit them as in-state. New Jersey wants to have it both ways.
Anyway, you can read about it here at CNN.
