Illinois giving undocumented immigrants in-state tuition rate is unconstitutional, judge says
CHICAGO – A federal judge ruled that an Illinois law allowing some undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates to attend the state’s public colleges and universities is unconstitutional.
The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Illinois and U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Division last year.
Judge David W. Dugan ruled that Illinois allowing undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at its public colleges and universities was "unconstitutional and invalid."
Dugan ruled similarly on the Retention of Illinois Students & Equity (RISE) Act, which gives undocumented college students access to state financial aid. In order to qualify, a student must have graduated from an Illinois high school and attended an in-state school for at least three years, and pledge to file an application to become a permanent U.S. resident as soon as they are eligible.
