Taxpayers Subsidizing Illegals' College Tuition

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility
Act of 1996 prohibits state colleges and universities from
providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens “on the
basis of residence within the State” unless the same
in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United
States - and it is the Justice Department’s responsibility
to enforce this law.

But while the DOJ is going after states like Arizona and
Alabama for trying to enforce federal immigration law, the
U.S. government refuses to sue these twelve states,
including California and Texas, that are brazenly breaking
the law.

The President and the Attorney General have an obligation
to enforce federal immigration regulations, Von Spakovsky
and Stimson argue. In a new report, they highlight how
these states are encouraging illegal immigration by forcing
taxpayers to bear the costs of educating illegal aliens
while unfairly punishing out-of-state students who are
citizens with higher tuition rates.
