N.M. college doors open for undocumented

"At least 10 undocumented students from Colorado will get to attend classes at the University of New Mexico this fall, with many not having to pay for tuition or books.

A new Colorado law prohibits state colleges from providing in- state tuition to undocumented immigrants.

In New Mexico, the state is barred from denying education benefits based on immigration status, said Terry Babbitt, director of admissions for the University of New Mexico.

While New Mexico's state financial aid is intended for residents, Poudre High School counselor Isabel Thacker in Colorado found a way for her students to receive in-state tuition, plus scholarships to cover it."

1. That's not gonna go over well. Working at McDonald's & in the fields is one thing....

... But "good Americans" aren't gonna react well to "them" trying to advance in society.

All the best to them - it's gonna get worse before it gets better, I predict.

2. Just to add on...

My understanding is that most NM in-state students go school for free as their tution is paid at by the state's lottery scholarship system reseved for in-state students. They still pay for books, room and board etc. though.
