Illegal-Alien Tuition Breaks Allowed by U.S. High Court
Illegal-Alien Tuition Breaks Allowed by U.S. High Court in California Case
By Greg Stohr - Jun 6, 2011 10:04 AM ET
The U.S. Supreme Court left intact a California law that makes illegal immigrants eligible for the reduced tuition paid at public colleges and universities by legal state residents.
The justices today turned away an appeal by a group of non- Californians who attend school in the state and pay as much as $20,000 per year more than residents. The students said 25,000 illegal aliens pay the lower tuition each year, costing the state $208 million.
California is one of nine states that make undocumented aliens eligible for in-state tuition, according to the suing students.
The case turned on a 1996 federal law that limits the power of states to offer reduced tuition to those in the country illegally. The law says illegal immigrants can’t claim lower tuition “on the basis of residence within a stateâ€Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn
