Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s plan to end in-state tuition for undocumented students has sparked fierce opposition from lawmakers, students, and advocates alike.
Many fear tuition costs could quadruple, jeopardizing higher education for thousands. Even Republican supporters of the original waiver have recently reversed course.
Meanwhile, infighting rages as DeSantis deems the legislature’s Trump Act insufficient. He threatens vetoes and targets dissenting Republicans, triggering further internal conflict.
Activists and advocacy groups see an opening to rally public opinion. With Florida’s political power struggle ongoing, undocumented students’ futures remain precarious.
The even dumber and less likeable version of Trump trying to do a Trump and failing.
Jeez. How punchable can one be? 16 years living and teaching in that pit of S. Florida (N. Miami & Opa Locka). I just cannot imagine dealing with the stupidity there ever again. I won’t even drive into that state without much medication. I loved teaching my little Title I kids. Where I was I’m sure that the parents were undocumented. We just wanted to teach. I’m just so disgusted and happy to be retired. Sit back and watch it burn, I guess.
