Massive waste of tax payer dollars but at least it's keeping Bondi's goons busy working on something they won't win.

Maybe read the article next time before you comment, because the universities were doing this in Texas, and it was halted immediately after the DOJ filed suit.

Violation of the equal protection clause to deny in state tuition to the Undocumented immigrants . This will go nowhere fast.

Remember when the Republicans used to cry about "State rights"?

Always called them out on their bullshht and they're doing everything they can to prove me right.

MAGAs like their undocumented immigrants uneducated as well as impoverished.

Common sense people would rather American citizens get an education for their tax dollars, rather than illegal aliens.... Dumb@$$

You mean the 130 to 4, 63 of 72 Republican, vote of the 77th Legislature's passage of H.B 1403. The common sense that assists kids residing in the state for a minimum of 3 years before graduating high school and agreeing to apply for citizenship as soon as eligible. That kind of common sense? That's what you would "rather" not fund. Makes sense.

Strange days indeed.
