“The state has more to gain than to lose by allowing the children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state colleges, a new study says.

The study, approved by the state Board of Higher Education this week, comes as the Legislature girds for another debate of the controversial subject early this summer.

Based on information from the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, the report said making it less expensive for children of illegal immigrants to attend state colleges would actually add $2.5 million to the state economy.”
