This could be quite an interesting case.

Betsy's Page 
    Students from 19 states yesterday filed a class-action 
    lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars from 
    California officials for charging them significantly more 
    than illegal aliens pay to attend state-run colleges. 
    The 42 plaintiffs say California state lawmakers and the 
    University of California board of regents knowingly 
    violated a federal law enacted in 1996 that says any 
    state that offers discounted in-state tuition to its 
    illegal aliens must provide the same lower rates to all 
    U.S. citizens.
Just what California needs - to have to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars in refunds to all out-of-state students. I didn't know that there was such a federal law and I don't approve of the federal government telling states what they should do with charging tuition. But, the law was on the books and California knew about it and went ahead an implemented its practice of giving illegal immigrants the same tuition as in-state students while still charging out-of-state kids the higher rate. They should pay the penalty.
