I live in a state where illegal immigrants are a problem. Some pay taxes (taxpayer ID issued by consulate and are here on expired visas).
I see the issue of her getting an education and her status here in this country as two separate issues.
Her being here illegally = bad
Her getting an education = good
Her getting a discount as a resident of Texas = Good for Texas because having educated residents is a good thing for any state.
I am pretty confident in saying that those illegal immigrants that put in the work to pursue higher education are the same ones who also pursue legal status and contribute this society.
If they are putting in the effort to better themselves by going to college I'm willing to give them a shot at staying here vs sticking them in the penal system and shipping off to the shithole they came from...likely to repeat the same old cycle of sneaking in.
There are plenty of do nothing dumb ass citizens I'd love to deport.
