text: american college student  do you think it is right? that while you have to apply to colleges in your own state to get in-state tuition costs but undocumented aliens can apply to any college and pay in-state tution?  this is not a myth. it is a fact: illinois is one of 10 states that allow long-term illegal immigrant students to become eligible for in-state tuition.  foreign students can voice their opinions on this topic. understand that under these laws you must pay full tuition and can't get in-state tuition.  no i am not a racist or prejudice just a taxpayer. they tried to pass it in calif. but it didn't go over.  it is not just foreign student that are getting unfair treatment it is out of state students.  and no you aren't racist or prejudice. you are just speaking the facts.
