Northam signs legislation allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition

April 26, 2020 by Wayne Creed 3 Comments

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – Governor Ralph Northam signed legislation that will allow undocumented students who meet residency requirements to pay in-state tuition, regardless of their immigration status.

“Virginia has made history as the first southern state to implement this law, joining twenty states that offer in-state tuition to students who are undocumented. In these states, students, employers, and the entire society have realized tremendous economic and social benefits,” said Kim Bobo, Executive Director of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP).

The VICPP says it worked with a coalition of community members, legislators and organizations in support of the bills.

“This win is for all undocumented students in Virginia. They have spent countless days participating in rallies and testifying in committee hearings at the General Assembly. This was a movement created by undocumented students. It’s beautiful to finally see this positive outcome after eight years of fighting,“ Yanet Limon-Amado, an organizer at VICPP said.

The bills, SB 395 and HB 1547 will go into effect on July 1.

    This is another example of how the Democrats will waste our tax money. Wonder what all the Virgina liberal Democrat Business owners think of their Blackface Governor now. Shut down the state for two years and squander our tax dollars on illegals. This tyranny has got to end.

    So the the black face commie is more interested in helping illegals, get a higher education, Than helping Virginians that are facing financial difficulties due to this virus?
    This is Democratic party agenda! This so called govenor, is going to help the less than 1 percent of Virginia population that has no legal right to be here. What a great leader!
    Anybody who votes Democrats should have the letter “D” stamped on their forehead for Dumb***!
    Hey let’s elect creepy Joe Biden! He can straighten things out. He their(China’s) man!
    What a disgrace the Democratic party has become!
