A group of employers, students and community leaders express alarm over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' proposal to reverse a law that allows undocumented immigrants to pay in-state college and university tuition.
, offers young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children temporary protection from deportation and permission to legally work.
Florida is one of 23 states, along with the District of Columbia, that allow students without permanent legal status who attended high school in the respective state or D.C. to pay in-state tuition. "The whole point of making postsecondary education accessible to them, aside from basic fairness and decency, is to facilitate their going into the fields where Florida most desperately needs future workers," Fernandez said."Not to mention that the more skilled they become and the more they earn, the more they’ll put into state and local tax revenues, not to mention the economy overall.
Asked for comment on the criticisms, DeSantis' office referred to the governor's previous remarks. The office did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for any data or research showing the effect of the students’ paying in-state tuition on rising tuition costs.
