This bill would overturn the 2014 bill that allowed in-state tuition for some undocumented immigrant students who have been enrolled in the Florida school system for three years before graduating from high school.

Why should government legitimize the word "illegal?"

WE need law and order. Put Florida and the USA first not illegals who came here illegally. We need every illegal immigrant here paying taxes and being fair. Give them work visas if there is work for them, but they need to pay taxes too, our money needs to stop going toward law breakers and people who abuse the system. The USA citizens deserve better. Restore law and order and stop illegal immigration and human trafficking, ya!
