Illegal Immigrants get cheaper in-state tuition

Her immigration status is a federal issue but she IS a resident of Texas.
I don't have a problem with her qualifying for in-state tuition.

So, she illegally entered the country but she is legal in the state?

I think the compounded problem of illegal immigration is that separate agencies have allowed immigration status to go unchecked [or have not cared] for too long.

Does she live here? Yes. If she isn't here legally, how can she be considered a legal resident? Is there a definition of "resident?"

Has her family been subject to all the taxes and fees that subsidized her college education and paid for her primary education like legal residents are? I suspect not. That is part of my problem with it.
