The California Supreme Court decided unanimously Monday that illegal immigrants may continue to be eligible for in-state tuition rates at the state's colleges and universities rather than pay the higher rates charged to those who live out of state.
In a ruling written by Justice Ming W. Chin, one of the panel's more conservative members, the state high court said a California law that guarantees the lower tuition for students who attend California high schools for at least three years and graduate does not conflict with a federal prohibition on giving illegal immigrants educational benefits based on residency.
California is one of several states that permit illegal immigrants to take advantage of lower college tuition for students who attend high school and graduate in state. About 25,000 illegal immigrants are estimated to receive in-state tuition rates in California.
A group fighting illegal immigration challenged the California law on behalf of U.S. citizens who pay the higher tuition as out-of-state students. The group won in lower court, and the state appealed.

How did your parents get here? Or, your grandparents?
Somewhere down the line your ancestors were probably immigrants or "illegals" at one point.. Unless you were a Native here long before Columbus came, you have no real right to tell others their not allowed to live here....
Live and let live, let whoever get an education.. Whats wrong with sharing knowledge with our fellow brothers from the South?

Do you know whats going on in Mexico right now? The place is ran by drug dealers
Where do you expect them to go?
If you know so much about the Natives then why don't you act like them and lend to hand to your BROTHERS and stop blaming them for your problems

Are you serious with this tripe?
a) There are no "natives" to North America. Simply getting here before someone else doesnt make one a native.
b) North American indians didnt have any immigration laws, so none were violated, therefore no one was illegal.
c) North American indians didnt believe in land ownership, so nothing was stolen from them, as something that isnt owned, cannot be stolen.
Illegal aliens reap benefits that citizens, both born AND naturalized do not. No one should be ok with that.
try your pathetic trolls somewhere else.
