Tuition rates at public colleges differ between those who are residents of the state, who pay “in-state” tuition, and those who are not; they pay “out-of-state” tuition. Some residents, however, are less equal than others. These are the young people who are not citizens, the so-called “undocumented,” who were brought to this country by their parents who entered illegally; they are also the promising prospective students who are accepted for study because they are qualified and will benefit from that education.
