Just found an article on this, the Supreme Court is making a decision today on whether undocumented students should pay a higher tuition. I tried looking for the decision but don't see it anywhere, if anyone finds out about it please post it, if not I will be posting later this week on the decision the Court came to.
In my attempt to find out what the Supreme Court decided on, I found this very interesting site: Arguments for making undocumented immigrants pay out-of-state tuition. This is making my head spin. The admissions board doesn't give an undocumented student any benefit for being undocumented. The undocumented student is competing for admission just like all the other students. There is no favor being given to us by being allowed to pay in-state-tuition, simply a greater pressure because if given admission to a university you find yourself in a tight place for making that tuition. I've read so many articles on undocumented students who get admitted to an awesome school, and they are unable to complete their education because they can't afford to even pay that tuition. This makes absolutely no sense! If we can't work how are we to make ends meet for tuition?! It's not to say we don't make it happen when the world is against us, we do and that makes us so much stronger. Those of us who have been lucky to have parents who can make the financial sacrifices to put us through school make it, but what of all those who can't even get through school?! People are so infuriating sometimes.
Allow me to remind myself to take a deep breath . . . and remind myself that despite all the ugly and hatred out there in the world some of us are making it and will be able to make a difference one day.
Thank you for following.
MUCH LOVE!!!
