Immigrant rights advocates warn against hasty changes to in-state tuition policies following President Trump's executive order that threatens penalties against sanctuary cities. This order may impact 24 states and Washington, D.C., affecting undocumented students who benefit from lower tuition rates. The directive emphasizes the importance of these policies for making education affordable for students unable to access federal financial aid. Advocates argue that keeping these benefits supports local economies and communities by enhancing the educated workforce.
What immigrant, international and refugee students bring is needed talent, skills and contributions. In-state tuition increases the number of a state's residents who are college educated.
