The list includes some states right in the heart of America: California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Washington.
In most of these states, the law was passed under cover of darkness. The governors declined to hold signing ceremonies heralding the new law — because public opinion was overwhelmingly opposed to giving taxpayer-subsidized college education to illegal aliens.
Not surprisingly, when voters themselves decide the question, a very different result occurs. In November 2006 Arizona voters passed Proposition 300, which expressly barred Arizona universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. More than 71 percent voted in favor.
The American people realize the injustice of giving illegal aliens a taxpayer-subsidized education when out-of-state U.S. citizens and law-abiding foreign students have to pay the full cost of their education.

SE Mom,

We shouldn't be giving taxpayer-subsidized college education to anybody, let alone illegal aliens. Let the freeloaders earn it like the rest of us working stiffs.
A pox on both their Houses.
That’s it - I’m applying for illegal alien status for my family!
Cheap, subsidized tuition, no need to save for college!
I’ll go out and buy that corvette I’ve got my eye on!
No, no, the taxpayers didn’t buy the corvette, they just paid for my girls’ college education.
(No, no, tax dollars don’t go to fund abortions at Planned Parenthood, it just goes to pay for their other budget items.)
