Reuters reports that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has said he will sign a bill offering in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. who have attended at least three years of high school in the state.
“The most important thing is for these young men and women of our state, who we have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in their K-12 education, we’re now going to give them an opportunity in an affordable way to be able to continue their education,” Christie said.
The Democrat-controlled state legislature has already voted to approve the new law and it awaits the Republican governor’s signature. Christie vetoed a previous version of the bill that would have also allowed some illegal immigrants to qualify for government-funded financial aid.
“This will be once again an example of New Jersey showing how you can come to bipartisan agreement.”
