8 USC 1623 Tuition Limit

[Anonymous]

It seems the justice department is suing state that provide in-state tuition for non-citizens. The federal statute seems pretty clear. Do you think states will capitulate to not having different tuition rates, or do you think states will require proof of citizenship along with in-state residence for in-state tuition?

You misread the link. States are allowed to provide in-state tuition for non-citizens.
They are not allowed to provide them to illegal immigrants.

Non-citizens may or may not have legal authorization to reside in a country. Legal non-citizens can quality for in state tuition in the US.

Illegal immigrants unlawfully reside in a country. Illegal immigrants would no longer be eligible for in state tuition.

They are already not eligible. The law has not been enforced.
