If they're paying the tuition and not receiving government-funded grants or scholarships then I really don't care.

Maybe not, but I find it ridiculous that I, a united states citizen, have to pay out-of-state tuition rates, while someone who is not a US citizen gets to pay in-state.
But critics argue that the bill will give illegal aliens better treatment than Americans and legal immigrants -- thanks to existing diversity policies at universities.
University of Maryland (College Park) computer science Prof. James Purtilo told FoxNews.com that, during his time as an associate dean, he frequently saw admission officers favor students because of their “undocumented” status.
"They favor students with special circumstances. 'Undocumented alien' would be one of these special circumstances... They help fill out the diversity picture for the admissions office."
How is that fair to american kids whether their recieving grants or not
I took it to mean that if you live in the state then you get in-state rates. If they're giving a kid in California an in-state rate in Oregon I'd have an issue.

I come from Maryland, and I feel sad that my home state would do something like this. For every legal illegal student that goes to college there is one less seat for a legal student to be accepted and attend college. So these undocumented non-citizens will receive in state tuition benefits? I've lived away from Maryland for some time, but I was born there. The fact that I haven't been a resident for a while would prevent me from getting in state tuition discounts.
So, an illegal with no documentation can get in-state tuition, but a legal US citizen who is a Maryland native cannot... This is messed up.
The problem is that many of those so-called "legal students" don't want to go for whatever reason. Rest assured that there are more than enough seats for legal AND undocumented students. In addition, US citizens have the option of moving to a state and getting in-state tuition after a period of time, like I did. Undocumented students do not have this option. As a result, many of them might have chosen a university out of country to attend, or opted not to go at all. This way, they get to attend college, and pay tuition. Win/win.
This week, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed a bill to require the state's public universities to give undocumented aliens -- generally illegal -- in-state tuition privileges.
The bill, known as the Dream Act, is already the law in ten other states, including California, New York, Texas and Illinois.
The only thing to say about this, is it just nuts and every american citizen should be pissed off about it.

It differs by state. In TN you cannot get any in-state discounts unless you have been a documented resident for two years prior to attending school.
Undocumented student's should have any options. They are here illegally and should be prosecuted, not educated. They shouldn't have the freedom of choosing a US university. I know some international students that attend my university and they have to apply for student visas to stay in America legally and study in one of our schools. Allowing illegals in-state benefits and not requiring a visa of someone who is already breaking immigration law is a slap to the face for our legal international students who applied and paid fees to obtain a student visa. It's not right.
On a personal level, I really couldn't care less.
As a Marylander my whole life and a student at the biggest state university, I say good job to the folks in Annapolis. This is a good piece of legislation.
Not if law breakers are allowed to go to school.
Yes you can... Democrats are just as American as Republicans.
Tell you what, if you want to hate on illegals just stay in Florida. My state is responsible for its own actions.
........being an American doesnt entaill giving this country away as quickly as possible to the criminal infestation coming across the southern border.....thats strictly being a Democrat.

There isn't a shortage of available places in colleges right now. If you want to go odds are you'll find a school to take you if you didn't fail out of high school.
