Unreal, thank goodness this case failed
An Atlanta-based immigration lawyer on Tuesday lost a bid to secure in-state tuition for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program enrolled in Georgia’s public universities and colleges. Charles Kuck, who is representing a group of illegal immigrant students who sued the state in 2016, argued the students’ deferred status under the now-cancelled DACA program gives them lawful presence in the U.S., a key requirement for in-state tuition under Georgia law.
The Georgia Court of Appeals disagreed with that argument, ruling Tuesday there is no provision of federal or state law that says DACA recipients — commonly known as “Dreamers” — are lawfully present just because they are temporarily protected from deportation. As a result, state colleges and universities in Georgia aren’t required to let them pay in-state tuition, the court said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://www.ajc.com/news/local/appeals-court-rules-against-immigrants-over-state-tuition/nbHxnrtwNVOaNj4FPuH6fI/).
