Department of Justice Challenges State Laws on In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens
The Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against New York, Connecticut, and Vermont, challenging state laws that provide in-state tuition and financial assistance to illegal aliens. The lawsuits argue that these laws discriminate against U.S. citizens by offering benefits to illegal aliens that are not available to citizens, thereby incentivizing illegal immigration. The Department seeks to enjoin the enforcement of these state laws, which it claims are in direct conflict with federal law. This action is part of a broader effort by the Department to challenge similar laws across the country, with lawsuits already filed in several other states.
