https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10893New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed legislation Wednesday allowing illegal immigrant students to receive in-state tuition and financial aid.
Under the new law, undocumented students will be eligible for any student financial aid program that is administered by New Jersey’s Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) or the Secretary of Higher Education (OSHE), provided that they meet a set of specific requirements, Tap Into Newark reported.
"It encourages illegal immigration. That money could be used for U.S. citizens, permanent aliens, or folks in the country legally."
According to the report, students seeking financial assistance under the new law must attend high school in New Jersey for three or more years, graduate or receive a high school equivalent degree, enroll in a public college or a university during or after the 2013-2014 academic year, and sign an affidavit indicating their intention to obtain a legal status.
