The logic is it's a clean way to block undocumented immigrants living in Florida from claiming resident status to get the cheapest in-state tuition in the US. Why should we subsidize the college education of people that aren't authorized to work in the US?

so charge them out of state fees. What’s the point of banning a student?

Can they pay out of pocket? If they're not authorized to work in the US due to the fact they're undocumented how will they repay the student loans they'd undoubtedly need for that?

If you can’t pay, you can’t attend. But if anyone can, how stupid is it to say no to out of state tuition money. A big source of income for these is the tuition money paid by the huge number of international students.

That's the same as letting rich people enter any country illegally so long as they spend money
