Sixteen years ago, Texas became the first state to allow undocumented students to pay lower, in-state tuition for higher education. Republicans who have long opposed the measure failed again this legislative session to repeal it, but they passed a measure that inspires even more/just as much concern: the high-profile sanctuary cities ban known as Senate Bill 4, which undocumented students fear will make them targets for deportation. The new law includes a provision that allows local law officers to question the immigration status of people who are lawfully detained.
