Court Decision: Court and Republican-Dominant States

court decision: The Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees three public universities and other colleges, voted soon afterward to allow in-state costs to stand while the issue is under court review, according to Metro News. The court decision last month sets Arizona apart from other states that are granting in-state tuition to young immigrants in recipients of former President Barack Obama's program. It comes after a court ruled that students in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program must pay higher-cost out-of-state tuition. That includes Republican-dominant states such as Oklahoma, Tennessee and Nebraska. Russell Pearce, a former state Senate president who helped create the landmark 2010 immigration enforcement law SB1070, said Wednesday that different law prohibits benefits for anyone living here illegally. The Trump administration has stepped up immigration enforcement and says it has not decided the program's fate. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
