DOJ sues Newsom over California giving illegal immigrants college tuition benefits

FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Justice sued Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday over a California measure that gives illegal immigrants access to in-state tuition benefits, marking the third lawsuit in one week that the department has brought against the high-profile Democratic governor.

The lawsuit, brought in the Eastern District of California, alleged that California’s education code caused out-of-state U.S. citizens to pay higher tuition rates at California’s schools than people living in the country illegally.

The attorneys called it “unequal treatment” that was “squarely” at odds with federal law, which states that people unlawfully living in the United States cannot be given tuition benefits based on their residence that U.S. citizens are not also entitled to. more

  1. Start taking it from the pension funding and deduct it from their checks. Professors, administrators, across the board. Progs are known for being generous right up until it is their money. At that point they are the most parsimonious bastards on the planet.

  2. FTA, “…at odds with federal law, which states that people unlawfully living in the United States cannot be given tuition benefits based on their residence that U.S. citizens are not also entitled to.”

    The absurdity of needing a federal law specifically saying illegals cannot be granted benefits that US Citizens are not entitled to is so ridiculously over the top that it me dumbstruck.

  3. Make it against federal law to extend any elected or appointed official qualified immunity for any action that provides so much as a wooden nickel to anyone in the country illegally and this shit will end yesterday.
