""For more than 20 years, Kansas has been violating federal law with impunity. Kansas legislators would do well to bring Kansas into compliance with the law rather than being sued by the federal government.""
""The Senate's version of the bill ended the program entirely, while the House had supported the decades-old policy for months, allowing immigrant students to receive in-state tuition.""
Kansas lawmakers reached a compromise to eliminate in-state tuition for undocumented students. The House had previously supported the policy, allowing immigrant students who attended Kansas high schools for three years to qualify. However, the Senate's version sought to end the program entirely. The compromise involved dropping provisions that denied bond to undocumented immigrants. The Trump administration has challenged similar state policies, and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach stated that the state law was illegal and urged compliance with federal law.
