New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said on Thursday he would sign a bill passed by the state legislature that would allow illegal immigrant students living in the state to pay lower, in-state college tuition.
The move would make New Jersey the 16th U.S. state to allow students without legal immigration status to pay in-state rates, and comes after lengthy political wrangling between the Republican governor and Democrats in the state legislature.
“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 in Trenton.
