Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring announced today that children of illegal immigrants who are lawfully present in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program qualify for in-state tuition.
Herring said that the students, also referred to as DREAMers, will still need to gain admission to an institution of higher education, maintain their DACA status, and meet the same domicile requirements as all other students.
“These 'DREAMers are already Virginians in some very important ways. In most cases they were raised here, they graduated from Virginia schools, and they have known no home but Virginia,” Herring said in Alexandria this morning.
