Group of illegal students seek in-state tuition in Georgia

Fox News reports:

A group of immigrants in Georgia, who were brought into the U.S. illegally and have been granted temporary permission to stay, asked a judge Tuesday to order the state’s university system to allow them to pay in-state tuition.

Georgia’s university system requires those seeking to pay in-state tuition to provide verification of “lawful presence” in the U.S. However, the governing body of the university system has said students granted temporary permission to stay in the country under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) don’t meet that requirement.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, these students can attend most of Georgia’s public universities, but have to pay out-of-state tuition.

“Georgia’s policies against DACA students is unjust and inhumane. I don’t understand how individuals can deny higher education to students who have contributed to the state,” Maria Carrillo, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said. “The state is losing money by letting those students study elsewhere. The correct thing to do is to let us achieve our goals. Education is a human right.”

Illegals sure are greedy.
