Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney promised to cut federal funding for cities and states that are tolerant of illegal immigration. He also went as far as saying that his plan would cut funding for those states that issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and states that allow the children of illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition discounts at universities.
Romney also outlined a plan to create an employment verification card that, he said, would make it easier for companies to determine a prospective employee's citizenship status. He then went on about tuition and immigration. He said he feel it is unfair the children of illegal immigrants get a price discount on tuition while those children of citizens pay full price. He is not trying to discourage education, hes just trying to make it equal for all.
"The Nevada System of Higher Education does not specifically consider a student's or their parents' citizenship when determining residency for tuition purposes, according to Nevada law." The issue of drivers license is set by social security numbers as required by state law. Democratic opponent, Mike Hucakbee governor of Arkansas, stated that it isn't fair for children to suffer for their parents mistakes.
