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!)
Tagged: children, parents, student, Virginia, voter registration
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.”*
