Currently sixteen states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington) allow illegal immigrants to pay the same in-state tuition rates as other residents of the state. To qualify, students must have attended a school in the state for a certain number of years, have graduated high school in the state, have confirmed they are applying for legal citizenship.

Yes, but only if they’re confirmed to be in the process of seeking citizenship in their chosen state
@9GN5KWP1yr1Y

@9D6RZ6G1yr1Y
Current in-state tuition prices should be the tuition prices for all students, including immigrants.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Yes, and they should also be eligible for free, higher education
@Mrzzoh8mos8MO
College and further education should be 100% free for everyone, regardless of citizenship or social status.
@53JFHTC4yrs4Y
It is hard to deny anyone an education; the real answer should be to minimize or eliminate tuition all together.
@92LK8GL3yrs3Y
No, not until they become documented
@9WDTKJ82mos2MO
Again, this is ignoring the underlying issue. What processes we have for people to legally join our country, how to foster that in a more effective way, so that all those in our country are bound to the same rules and the same opportunities universally.
