Texas Scorecard by Sydnie Henry August 18, 2022
“In-state tuition pricing, subsidized by Texas taxpayers, is one of the few privileges afforded to Texas residents attending a state school in Texas.”The latest polling commissioned by the Defend Texas Liberty PAC asked Republican primary voters if “Texas should repeal the law that gives illegal aliens discounted tuition to Texas public colleges and universities.”
This has been a topic of discussion for years, as in-state tuition to public colleges and universities is discounted for residents of Texas. Currently, illegal aliens residing in Texas receive the same monetary benefits as Texans in regards to college/university tuition.
Although Texas Democrats support taxpayer-funded benefits for illegals, State Rep. Jeff Cason (R–Bedford) filed House Bill 1486 to end in-state tuition for anyone “not authorized under federal statute to be present in the United States” in the 87th Legislative Session last year.
