5/23/2010: UO Journalism student Briselda Molina has a very thought provoking op-ed in the RG asking if public universities should charge the children of illegal immigrants in-state tuition. I know UO students like the one she writes about – brought to Oregon by their parents as infants or young children, successes in HS, Americans in every sense of the word except the legal one. As the accompanying editorial notes, these children not only are considered out-of-state, they do not have any practical way to get legal status from the feds either. I have no idea what the right thing here is. But these two pieces made me think pretty hard about what these rules mean for people’s lives.
