DOJ Sues Massachusetts and Rhode Island Over Undocumented Student Tuition Laws
· Texas Border Business
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against Massachusetts and Rhode Island, contesting state laws that allow undocumented students to receive in-state tuition and financial aid. The DOJ argues these laws unfairly discriminate against U.S. citizens who do not receive the same benefits, potentially encouraging illegal immigration. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward emphasized that the DOJ aims to uphold federal law by ensuring that benefits are not granted to undocumented individuals over American citizens. This action is part of a broader initiative, with 12 lawsuits filed against similar state laws nationwide.
