DOJ challenges Virginia law granting in-state tuition to illegal immigrants
Fox News
The Trump administration is suing Virginia over a law allowing illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition at colleges and universities.

The Justice Department, which filed the lawsuit in Richmond, argues that Virginia state law discriminates against American citizens who can’t afford the same reduced tuition rates, scholarships or subsidies and that it incentivizes illegal immigration.
"This is not only wrong but illegal. The challenged act’s discriminatory treatment in favor of illegal aliens over citizens is squarely prohibited and preempted by federal law," the 13-page complaint states. "There are no exceptions. Virginia violates it nonetheless."
