DOJ Sues Kentucky For Granting In-State College Tuition Rates to Illegal Aliens
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed suit against Kentucky to stop the state from granting in-state college tuition rates to illegal immigrants.
U.S. v. Andrew Beshear alleges the policy “unconstitutionally discriminates against U.S. citizens not afforded the same privilege.”
The Justice Department filed the lawsuit against Democrat Governor Andy Beshear, Kentucky Education Commissioner Robbie Fletcher and the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) in the Eastern District of Kentucky on Tuesday. The complaint asserts that federal law prohibits “aliens not lawfully present” in the country from getting a benefit denied to out-of-state citizens.
“No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated in a press release, Tuesday.
