Proposition 308 sidesteps the real issue: It'll make illegal immigration worse

There is no doubt the immigration system in this country is broken. Now, a measure on the ballot this November could further incentivize unlawful entry into Arizona.
Proposition 308 allows a student who is not a legal citizen to qualify for in-state tuition at any state university or community college. The only criteria for eligibility is graduating from high school, or obtaining a high school equivalency diploma while maintaining a physical presence in Arizona for at least two years.
While proponents want to focus on lowering the cost of tuition, the real genesis of the problem is a broken immigration system. The recipients of this benefit, should it pass, are neither Arizonans nor U.S. citizens, which is the current requirement to receive in-state tuition.
