The Trump administration is suing Virginia over a law that allows some illegal immigrants<\/a> to pay in-state tuition rates to attend universities and colleges.<\/p>\n

Federal law prohibits states from providing illegal immigrants postsecondary education benefits that are denied to U.S. citizens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Justice Department, which filed the lawsuit in Richmond, argues that Virginia state law discriminates against American citizens who can\u2019t afford the same reduced tuition rates, scholarships or subsidies and that it incentivizes illegal immigration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is not only wrong but illegal. The challenged act\u2019s discriminatory treatment in favor of illegal aliens over citizens is squarely prohibited and preempted by federal law,” the\u00a013-page complaint<\/a>\u00a0states.\u00a0“There are no exceptions. Virginia violates it nonetheless.”<\/p>\n

Under state law, students who establish residency in Virginia for one year could be eligible for in-state tuition, regardless of their immigration status.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The complaint urges Virginia to stop providing illegal immigrants with in-state tuition<\/a> rates, financial aid or other state benefits.<\/p>\n

“This is a simple matter of federal law: in Virginia and nationwide, schools cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens,” said U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “This Department of Justice will not tolerate American students being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the office of Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has filed tuition lawsuits against several other states, including Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, Oklahoma, Minnesota and California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upon taking office, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders to ensure illegal immigrants can’t obtain taxpayer benefits<\/a> or preferential treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
