Lawmakers to discuss Denver college's tuition rate

DENVER – Officials at a Denver college are scheduled to talk to Colorado lawmakers about a tuition rate they set for illegal immigrants that the state's Republican attorney general says is against the law.

Metropolitan State College of Denver's decision this month has drawn criticism from Republicans who rejected Democrats' legislation this session that also sought to make higher education less expensive for illegal immigrants.

The Joint Budget Committee is scheduled to talk with Metro State about the new rate Wednesday.

Attorney General John Suthers issued an opinion Tuesday, saying Metro State's unilateral decision is "not supported by governing law." He says lawmakers must decide whether to provide the benefit to illegal immigrants.

The new tuition rate lets certain illegal immigrants attend college at about $3,578 per semester. That's about half what they'd pay under the nonresident rate.

It's mind blowing that so many people fail to grasp the meaning of the word "illegal" before the word "immigrant".

You got it. I just read this, this morning. Here they call them undocumented people.

On your subtitle on student loans, illegal aliens cannot qualify for financial aid or government backed loans. They could qualify for private aid, but that is up to the institution providing it.

Can you please stop injecting facts into these threads? They're such spoilers.

I did not think that illegal aliens qualified for EAD cards but with a stroke of his mighty pen Obama fixed that.

It's another sign of the times. This country is determined to hit 3rd world status.

Sure, the erosion of the middle class, ever widening income inequality and extreme wealth concentration will do that.

Right - because illegals would never break the law and apply for a loan that they didn't "qualify" for. And of course, there's no possibility of fraud in a government program!

The President has already had the power to do that. It looks like it was put in place in or around 1992. Its likely that it wasn't not the intended use of that power, but considering how broken congress is in getting important work done, you can't really blame a guy for using the tools he has.

I wonder if public opinion would change if every time someone mentioned illegal aliens, undocumented immigrants, unregistered democrats, etc., they called them "foreign invaders" instead.

"Officials weigh tuition policy for foreign invaders."

Dare I say we wouldn't be so apt to accept it?

Be patient, we're getting there. Rome wasn't destroyed in a day either.
