"California law AB 540 allows undocumented California students to pay in-state rather than out-of-state tuition; California is one of 11 states with such a law," the New York Times reports. "In [UCLA student] Leslie's case it cuts an unthinkable $33,000 a year down to a daunting but within-the-realm-of-possibility tuition of roughly $10,000. But because she is undocumented, she is not eligible for the myriad federal and state aid programs that make college feasible for many working- and middle-class families."
