Despite much opposition, undocumented immigrants who qualify for deferred action will now be given tuition breaks at public colleges and universities in Massachusetts. Immigration activists in the area have long been fighting for this policy. These activists believe that immigrant children who were brought by their parents in the United States illegally should not pay the price of what their parents did. They believe that these undocumented immigrant children should be given fair path to education and to eventually enjoy the same residency benefits as that of citizens.
The next few days should see Gov. Deval Patrick send a letter to High Education Commissioner Richard Freeland on Monday. Gov. Patrick believes that providing in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants is just a “matter of fairness”. As expected, not everyone, including Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, is not in favor of allowing beneficiaries to be given in-state tuition breaks.
