"I will be voting no on this for the sake of the DACA student who is in this nation by no choice of their own. They are pursuing the American dream in no different way than you or me, and as a just and compassionate nation, I believe that it is important that we treat them well."
"State policies allowing undocumented students to receive in-state tuition are not uncommon, but several have been challenged by the Trump administration over the past year."
Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill that would have barred undocumented students from in-state tuition at Kansas public institutions. Kansas allows in-state tuition for those who graduated from or attended a Kansas high school for at least three years, regardless of immigration status.

Although similar policies exist in other states, Kansas has not faced legal challenges regarding its laws yet.
