Over the last several years, illegal immigration has been an ardently disputed issue. Legislation on undocumented workers has been hyped up and defeated, protests have taken place across the country and each presidential candidate has an extensive platform on the issue.
One facet of this debate - the question of how to treat undocumented workers who have lived and worked in the United States for years - has been reignited here in Massachusetts.
Three years ago, a proposal to offer in-state tuition to illegal immigrants was rejected by the Mass. House of Representatives. The bill, which would have benefited illegal immigrants who have lived in Massachusetts for three or more years, was also guaranteed a veto by former Gov. Mitt Romney.”*
