Mass. Immigrant Tuition Bill Likely Dead

This article, entitled "Deleo: Mass. immigrant tuition bill likely dead" brings up how changes or lack of change is likely because Scott Brown, a republican, was elected. Many lawmakers in Massachusetts are nervous in this election year and will likely shy away from targeting highly controversial legislation.

The issue surrounding whether or not undocumented Massachusetts immigrants should be able to go to Mass state schools for free is very interesting. Scott Brown has a very tough stance on this issue. As I looked at Scott Browns election website before the special election, it was very clear that Scott Brown was against any legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants to have their tuition waived. As a college student with large student loans, I can see the pro's and con's of this legislation.
