‘We’re disappointed for our clients who now, as the Court recognized, have to pay 9 times more in-tuition than illegal aliens’
In Texas, illegal immigrants who live in the state are eligible to receive in-state tuition prices, paying significantly less than out-of-state students who are legal American citizens.
The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently sided with University of North Texas officials, ruling that a 2001 Texas state law allows colleges and universities to charge out-of-state students a higher tuition rate than undocumented immigrants.
