Wisconsin: Some Illegal Immigrants Will Be Able to Get In-State Tuition (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

"Some illegal immigrant high school graduates will be able to attend Wisconsin state universities by paying in-state tuition, under a provision in the two-year budget Gov. Jim Doyle signed into law Monday. Wisconsin now becomes the 11th state to enact such a law," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "To qualify, students would have to reside in the state for three years, graduate from a Wisconsin high school or earn an equivalency degree here. The students would have to apply through the normal channels. It's estimated from 400 to 650 illegal immigrants annually graduate from state high schools, but they must pay out-of-state tuition if they enroll in the state university system or technical colleges."
