Students fear repeal of the in-state tuition perk – Utah
Tagged: Mexico, parents, student, UtahPosted on: January 29th, 2007“Claudia doesnt know Mexicos national anthem. She grew up saying the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance.
She didn’t know she was undocumented until her parents had to explain to her why she couldn’t get on an airplane, as her friends could.
“I thought it was the end of the world,” said the University of Utah student, who hasn’t lived in Mexico since she was 6 years old.
Claudia is now studying engineering at the U. while a debate rages at the Utah Legislature over whether undocumented students like her should have to pay out-of-state tuition rates to get a college degree.”
