College students from 19 states filed a class action lawsuit claiming they were charged significantly more than illegal aliens to attend state run colleges in California. The lawsuit alleges California lawmakers and members of the board of regents for the University of California violated a federal law that prevents states from offering undocumented immigrants residency based benefits that are not available to U.S. citizens. The out of state cost for the University of California is $24,500 per school year; compared to an in state student who pays around $6,700 per year. The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of over 50,000 U.S. citizens who paid out of state tuition to attend public colleges and universities in California since 2002.
