The Opposite of Woe: on Immigration


In-state tuition & driver's license for undocumented people

[As governor in 2012] we passed two laws addressing undocumented residents. One law enabled students without legal immigration status in our state who have graduated from Colorado high schools to attend our state colleges and universities at the in-state tuition rate. The more educated our state's residents are, the more each and every one of us has a chance to fulfill his or her potential, the better off our state is. Another law enabled undocumented people to get their driver's licenses. If undocumented residents are driving, and they are, let's at least do what we can to ensure they are properly trained and have insurance. Because no tax dollars can go to supporting programs for undocumented residents, we made this a user-fee-supported service.
