Illinois house has passed a bill that would allow young people who are in the United States illegaly to pay in-state tuition. According to the passage "An education in citizenship" Excerpted from the Chicago Tribun, the house passed the bill with the vote of 112-4 to allow young people in the US to pay for instate tuition. The bill is troubling because it chaeges legal citizens more tuition that ut charges non legal citizens. I dont agree with the bill because no US citizen should be deprived of an education, not every US citizen can afford Colleges and Universities.
In the passage it says that " for the average enterning freshman at the unversity of Illinois in Urbana champain the differnece is between 5,302 the current in-state rate, and 13,906 the out of state" Thats alot of money that theh US citizen have to pay compared to the non citizen thanks to the new bill. Theres no purpose to the bill why not charge every person the same amount instead of depriving them of an education.
A friend of mine had to drop out of college because he had no way to pay for it and the cost of the college was 1,900. Him being US citizen and everything He thought, he would get federal aid, but instead he got nothing, so imange how mad he would of got if he found about the bill that was being passed in Illinois.
Therefore the passing of this bill is wrong and it dosent let people get the education they deserve especially Citizens. It unfairly charges citizens more money then the non citizens.
