Tagged: Maryland, studentPosted on: December 4th, 2007
After the state legislature failed to grant illegal immigrants in-state tuition in last spring’s session, Delegate Victor Ramirez (D-Prince George’s) defended the proposal in a speech on the campus yesterday.
Ramirez is the co-sponsor of a bill that grants students who have spent two years in Maryland high schools in-state tuition regardless of immigration status. The bill passed the House of Delegates in March but was stalled in a Senate subcommittee as the legislative session drew to a close. “*
