AZ Judge Rules Undocumented Students Eligible for In-State Tuition 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
An Arizona judge has ruled undocumented students granted a reprieve from
deportation are eligible for in-state college tuition. Tuesday's
decision by Superior Court Judge Arthur Anderson says immigrants with
deferred status are considered lawfully present in the U.S. and are not
barred from receiving public benefits. The ruling applies to
undocumented youths known as "DREAMers," who received status under
President Obama's DACA program.
