(Above info is from a CAPS alert.)

Let's get on this one.

I am confused. I thought that in-state tuition for illegals had been repealed in California by the states supreme court. I am obviously wrong. Was it repealed in another state?

I think the last repeal in CA was the Gay Marriage vote....?

alamb, from the CAPS announcement,

"Reduced tuition was given to illegal aliens in 2002, when Governor Davis signed AB 540. The law was challenged in court, and in September 2008, the state appellate court ruled that AB 540 does conflict with federal law. However, it remains in effect while it is appealed to the California Supreme Court."

I've found CAPS's info to be reliable. The only problem is that their alerts are sometimes sent out too late for an effective response campaign to be mounted.
