In-State Tuition for Undocumented Texas Students Ends Abruptly
This Should Have Been a No-Brainer!
The Republican Governor and Attorney General of Texas agreed not to defend a 20+ year-old state law from a Trump Administration legal challenge that will have the immediate effect of tripling tuition for 57,000 undocumented students enrolled in Texas Community Colleges and State Universities - and leaving few avenues for them to appeal.
On the same day that US Attorney General Pam Biondi challenged the 24-year-old Texas law that granted in-state tuition to undocumented students who lived in the state for three years before graduating from high school and for a year before enrolling in college, Abbott & Paxton quickly entered into a "consent decree" effectively ending it.
Governor Greg Abbott tweeted that "Texas is permanently enjoined from providing in-state tuition for illegal immigrants."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tweeted that he "successfully stopped a law that unconstitutionally provided in-state tuition to illegal aliens."
Paxton declared that…
Hmmmm......I smell a rat (or at least a Neutra)
Abbot I would peg for this in a heartbeat, but Mr. Paxton has exhibited different leanings in his writing. I'm surprised to find HE HAS BEEN IGNORING THIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY!
No way to sugar-coat it, Ken.
Onward, Christian soldiers!
