The University of Uncertainty - Virginia Children of Illegal Immigrants Lack In-State Status - (students - US Citizens - have to prove that parents are in this country legally - wtf!)

When Nelson Lopez applied to Virginia colleges this year, it never occurred to him that he might not be considered a state resident. After all, he has lived in the state since he was a baby, holds a voter registration card and will graduate this spring from an Alexandria high school.

Then last month, he got an e-mail from the University of Virginia: If he wanted to be considered an in-state student, he had to prove that his parents are in this country legally.

Lopez, 18, was born here — he’s a U.S. citizen. But his parents are illegal immigrants.”*
