Illegal? Come to college!

AP: Suit Challenges Tuition Break for Illegals---

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A group of out-of-state college students sued to challenge a law that lets some classmates who are illegal immigrants pay the lower in-state rate if they graduated from California high schools.

The class-action lawsuit said the policy violates a federal law barring states from offering benefits to illegal immigrants that are not available to U.S. citizens. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Yolo County by 42 plaintiffs seeks unspecified damages.

The difference in fees can amount to many thousands of dollars a year. For example, out-of-state students pay nearly $24,000 a year to attend the University of California, about $17,000 more than California residents.

The 2002 law allows the in-state rates for students who attended a California high school for at least three years, graduated from one and sign an affidavit declaring that they will seek to become legal residents as soon as it is feasible.

California is one of nine states with laws that let undocumented students qualify for in-state rates. A lawsuit filed in federal court in Kansas challenging that state's law was dismissed, but is being appealed.

This is disgusting. I'm glad to see someone is attempting to bring things back to the way they should be. People who have invaded our country shouldn't even be in our country, let alone our schools, and certainly shouldn't be given in-state tuition fees at STATE COLLEGES. They shouldn't even be at the colleges.

How many American citizens were denied spots in colleges because illegals took them? How many Americans can't afford colleges, but illegals get all sorts of breaks and tuition?

This has got to change.
