This bill proposes to amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, primarily focusing on federal financial assistance for higher education. Its core objective is to prohibit states from receiving specific federal funds if they offer in-state tuition rates to aliens who are not lawfully present in the United States. Under the proposed amendment, a state would be designated as an ineligible State if it charges an unlawfully present alien tuition at a rate equal to or less than that offered to U.S. citizen residents at public institutions. Such an ineligible state would then be barred from receiving any Federal financial assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 for the subsequent fiscal year. This aims to create a financial disincentive for states providing resident tuition benefits to undocumented individuals.
