Denver The debate over offering in-state college tuition to undocumented immigrants is making its way through the state capitol again.
And this time, supporters say they have the muscle of Colorado’s business community to get a bill to the governor’s desk.
It’s the fourth time this decade that Colorado’s legislature has taken up the issue, which crosses party lines.
Democratic Sen. Chris Romer, the bill’s sponsor, says he hopes lawmakers see it as an educational and economic matter instead of an immigration issue.
Ten states have passed legislation since 2001 granting in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants who meet certain requirements. Those states include California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New York, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Oklahoma and Texas.
