Texas, then California each enacted a law to provide in-state tuition rates to many immigrants who have lived in the state illegally but graduated from a state high school

As my post#14 explains in 1996 congress passed a federal law saying that if a state allows resident illegal aliens in-state tuition they must give non-resident U.S. citizens the same tuition rate. The main reason states openly violate this law is that the in-state tuition cost can be half as much for a resident illegal alien Vs. an out of state U.S. citizen.

If the FAIR lawsuit is successful in over turning the Kansas law that allows illegals in-state tuition based on the 1996 federal law. That federal court ruling will then apply to every other state. This would force states that give in-state tuition to illegals to give all students the low in-state rate. The cost of this would massive.

The states effected will have to repeal their in-state for illegals law in order to charge out of state students the higher rate.
