A new immigration bill passed in Florida eliminates in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants. Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to veto the measure based on other parts of the bill, but students are wary about future tuition hikes.

For so long they pretended their issues were with illegal immigration. Now even international student with legal status, who already have to pay tuition in full and without financial assistance will face more financial hardship
Florida gonna’ go broke,no tourists & no students.
Retired folks selling their properties & going elsewhere.
I’d never go back,they have ruined the joy of it all.
Why is it so difficult to get documented in this country? What are we missing here? This system needs fixing to embrace people who come to contribute to the fabric of this nation. I have just completed getting documented in Mexico. This should not be so out of reach in the USA.
As someone who has helped people in this process it is made very difficult. I have had to financially sponsor several people so they could get permanent residency. They had good well-paying job offers or had good jobs on temp work visas, but their money and jobs don't count in the process.
This is the kind of thing that drives people who want to be basically good to all and see such an unfair policy put forward when our own citizen are left out.
Yeah whatever. No mention of 50 state capital protests this morning. I’ve listened to npr most of my adult life. Been a contributor when I’m able. I’m ashamed to say that now.
This article tells the story of Dedé Flores, who went through medical school under the DACA program. Now she lives her dream of being a doctor in Miami.
There’s a hole in the story though. FL doesn’t allow undocumented immigrants to hold medical licenses or practice medicine in the state. @npr.org?

It would rather collapse and sink into the waves.
Instead, Trump has created an atmosphere of nastiness, negativity, corruption, stupidity, and chaos.
That is exactly what MAGA wants and deserves.
And you are all in it for the ride!
Can’t change stupid!!!!
