The Trump administration\u2019s\u00a0aggressive deportation<\/a>\u00a0policies have<\/a>\u00a0heightened stress<\/a>\u00a0among the country\u2019s approximately\u00a014 million immigrants<\/a>\u00a0who are living in the U.S. without legal authorization.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0sharp rise in<\/a>\u00a0dramatic arrests<\/a>\u00a0and deportations<\/a>\u00a0of immigrants over the past year has received\u00a0widespread media<\/a>\u00a0attention.<\/p>\n

A less publicized issue is that many young,\u00a0undocumented immigrants are also finding<\/a>\u00a0it harder to apply to and stay in college.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0someone who researches teacher training<\/a>\u00a0and was a high school teacher in South Carolina, I have researched how\u00a0restrictive education policies<\/a>\u00a0make it harder for immigrant students, particularly undocumented students, to receive a college degree.<\/p>\n

Bumpy path to higher education for undocumented students<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In 1982, the\u00a0Supreme Court ruled<\/a>\u00a0that students could not be discriminated against based on their immigration status.<\/p>\n

This ruling ensured that immigrant students could not be denied entrance to public K-12 schools.<\/p>\n

The caveat is that the ruling did not extend to higher education.<\/p>\n

In 1996, Congress approved the\u00a0Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act<\/a>, which made it harder for undocumented immigrants who are deported to reenter the U.S., among other changes to increase border security.<\/p>\n

This law also said that states could not provide\u00a0in-state tuition<\/a>\u00a0to undocumented students at public universities, unless they gave the same benefits to out-of-state American citizens.<\/p>\n

Then, in the early 2000s, a\u00a0bipartisan group of Texas representatives<\/a>\u00a0helped\u00a0pass a bill<\/a>\u00a0that opened up in-state tuition to undocumented students. The bill based tuition and scholarships on\u00a0specific residency requirements<\/a>, such as graduating from high school in the state, allowing the bill to circumvent the 1996 federal law.<\/p>\n

Also in the early 2000s,\u00a0California<\/a>,\u00a0Illinois<\/a>,\u00a0Washington<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0New York<\/a>\u00a0also passed similar legislation that allows undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition \u2013 and in some cases, state scholarships \u2013 at state universities.<\/p>\n

Even some conservative states,\u00a0such as Utah<\/a>,\u00a0Oklahoma and<\/a>\u00a0Kansas<\/a>, passed such legislation during the early 2000s that let undocumented immigrants pay in-state tuition at public universities and colleges.<\/p>\n

The tide turns<\/strong><\/h4>\n

But just a few years later, things began to shift.<\/p>\n

In 2008,\u00a0South Carolina became the first state<\/a>\u00a0to ban undocumented students from studying at public colleges and universities altogether.<\/p>\n

Georgia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Alabama<\/a>\u00a0quickly followed suit with similar bans.<\/p>\n

In 2012, after Congress created the\u00a0Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals<\/a>\u00a0program to allow immigrants who came to the U.S. as children to temporarily work, study and stay in the U.S., some schools in South Carolina\u00a0briefly banned DACA students<\/a>\u00a0from attending public universities \u2013 despite the new federal law.<\/p>\n

The schools\u00a0reversed course<\/a>\u00a0the next year\u00a0following a lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0by the American Civil Liberties Union of South Carolina, but still required DACA students to pay out-of-state tuition.<\/p>\n

Until 2015, South Carolina even denied in-state tuition for some\u00a0American citizens with undocumented parents<\/a>. The state reversed the policy following a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

The trend toward more restrictive policies toward undocumented students has continued during the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, Florida passed a law that\u00a0revoked in-state tuition<\/a>\u00a0for undocumented students. Florida\u00a0still allows<\/a>\u00a0undocumented immigrants to enroll at public colleges and universities, as long as they pay full tuition.<\/p>\n

And over the summer, the Department of Justice\u00a0challenged Oklahoma\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0and Texas\u2019<\/a>\u00a0in-state tuition policies, which had allowed all undocumented students to pay in-state tuition.<\/p>\n

Both\u00a0states quickly<\/a>\u00a0ended their<\/a>\u00a0policies.<\/p>\n

Texas and<\/a>\u00a0Oklahoma still<\/a>\u00a0allow DACA recipients to attend public universities and pay in-state tuition rates.<\/p>\n

As of 2025,\u00a022 states and Washington D.C.<\/a>\u00a0allow undocumented students to pay\u00a0in-state tuition<\/a>. The remaining states, meanwhile, either do not have a state policy, require undocumented immigrants to pay out-of-state tuition, or bar them entirely from attending public universities.<\/p>\n

A challenging environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Overall, these shifts make it harder for many undocumented students to go to and stay in college.<\/p>\n

The price of in-state tuition at public universities varies, but it typically offers\u00a0in-state residents a much lower tuition<\/a>\u00a0rate than students coming from out of state. While the average in-state tuition at public colleges\u00a0costs about US$11,610<\/a>\u00a0for the 2024-25 school year, out-of-state students paid $30,780, on average, during this same time frame.<\/p>\n

Undocumented students\u00a0do not qualify<\/a>\u00a0for federal financial aid, so paying out-of-state tuition at a public university usually prevents immigrants from pursuing a college degree.<\/p>\n

Some research shows that in-state tuition policies help reduce\u00a0undocumented college students\u2019 dropout rates<\/a>\u00a0by about 8%.<\/p>\n

In-state tuition policies also\u00a0increase college enrollment<\/a>\u00a0of noncitizen Latino students by 54%.<\/p>\n

A blockade for students<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I began teaching social studies at a high school in South Carolina in 2012, soon after many of these restrictions on immigrant students were enacted. I found that many educators and students were not aware of these restrictions until students applied to colleges or sought state licenses.<\/p>\n

My students included DACA recipients who completed a two-year program in areas like cosmetology, only then to be told they would not be allowed to practice in the state.<\/p>\n

My later research focused on\u00a0DACA students who aspired to become<\/a>\u00a0educators but had to either stop pursuing that goal or go out of state to teach. Other immigrant students I surveyed in my research said they lost motivation in the high school classroom due to the restrictions to pursue higher education.<\/p>\n

Carryover effects<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Policies that make it easier for undocumented immigrants to attend college don\u2019t just affect individual students and their families \u2013 they also have a positive effect on local economies.<\/p>\n

Research from 2025<\/a>\u00a0shows that when undocumented students can pay in-state tuition, they become more likely to have a job after graduation.<\/p>\n

Another study from Clemson University and the nonprofit group Hispanic Alliance found that South Carolina could be losing\u00a0up to $68 million<\/a>\u00a0a year in revenue due to the license policy for DACA recipients.<\/p>\n

I have known undocumented people who are aspiring doctors and teachers and moved to other states since they could not study or receive professional licenses in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Restrictive education policies could mean that some of the most talented immigrant students\u00a0will leave<\/a>\u00a0their respective states. However, the average undocumented immigrant student will not\u00a0usually pursue or delay<\/a>\u00a0higher education if the tuition is not affordable.<\/p>\n

I believe these policies will ultimately mean a less educated and productive society.<\/p>\n
