RI lawmaker wants in-state tuition for immigrants
RI lawmaker wants in-state tuition for immigrants
February 5, 2009
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—A Rhode Island lawmaker wants all immigrants eligible for in-state tuition at state colleges regardless of their legal status.
Rep. Grace Diaz of Providence plans a news conference Thursday to highlight her bill making all high school graduates eligible for in-state tuition even if they are illegal immigrants.
Under her proposal, illegal immigrants hoping to pay in-state tuition at a state college would have to attend a Rhode Island high school for three years and earn a diploma.
The potential students would also have to file an affidavit with school authorities promising that they have either filed an application to legalize their immigration status or plan to do so.
Republican Gov. Don Carcieri has tried using the state government to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Uh that is against federal law. California is being sued for BILLIONS of dollars by out of state students who had to pay higher costs than illegals. It is expected that they will win.
