At a personal level, I have friends who are illegal but that have lived in the United States all their lives but still pay exorbitant and often prohibitive college tuition fees. I hope to answer the question of the different out of state tuition fees in the state of California. Also, the paper hopes to answer the reasons for the contradiction in out of state college fees for different states.

C. Finally, undocumented immigrants have subsidized the education of their children by contributing millions of dollars in federal and state income taxes as well as sales taxes.

B. However, such arguments are rooted in the erroneous assumption that undocumented immigrants have contributed nothing to American society.
