In California, the state law that allows some illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates was upheld by the state's Supreme Court, according to a report in the LA Times. The court determined that California's state law was not in violation of the federal law prohibiting such a benefit.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wrote in 2008 that individual states must decide for themselves whether or not to admit illegal aliens into their public postsecondary institutions.. It remains unclear, however, whether states have the authority to grant in-state tuition rates to undocumented students. The California Supreme Court upheld California's law that grants in-state tuition rates to eligible undocumented students, but that ruling is only applicable in California.
