DOJ Sues Massachusetts and Rhode Island Over Undocumented Student Tuition Laws
· Texas Border Business
The Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against Massachusetts and Rhode Island, contesting state laws that allow in-state tuition and financial aid for undocumented students. The DOJ argues these laws unfairly discriminate against U.S. citizens who do not receive the same benefits, incentivize illegal immigration, and conflict with federal law. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward emphasized the commitment to ensuring that taxpayer benefits are not given to undocumented individuals over American citizens. This filing is part of a broader effort, with 12 lawsuits challenging similar laws across various states, including Texas and California.
