Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs Proposes $40M in Taxpayer Money for Illegal Aliens to Attend State Universities

John Binder 11 Jan 2023

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) is proposing a state-funded scholarship program, with $40 million in taxpayer money, to help illegal aliens attend state universities and colleges.

In her inaugural address, Hobbs vowed to expand the Arizona Promise Scholarship Program — which helps low-income students pay tuition and fees to attend universities — while creating the “Promise for DREAMers Scholarship Program” that will “cover all students, regardless of immigration status, who attend a public university.”

In effect, Hobbs’ initiative would spend $40 million to help funnel illegal aliens into limited spots at state universities and colleges. An estimated 2,000 illegal aliens would benefit from the initiative every school year.

The move comes after Arizona voters approved a Republican-led law that gives in-state tuition to illegal aliens. The vote reversed a ban on in-state tuition for illegal aliens that was imposed in 2006.

For American students in Arizona, the cost to attend college is immensely expensive. Average in-state tuition is about $4,500 but that figure goes up to more than $20,000 when books, supplies, and room and board are added on.

Graduate degree programs in Arizona are even more costly for American students. In-state costs average more than $27,300.

The problem is much deeper than AZ's new idiot governor, apparently.

Oh yes!  Maricopa County government is overwhelmingly "Republican".  The problem is that they John McCain style "republicans".

Oh, you've got that right.

Labels take the place of brains.

We keep hearing AZ is a red state. 

Seems we elect a great many democratic governors, democratic congressmen, and democratic senators.  The state house is barely red and not looking very good.
