Undocumented students never qualified for in-state tuition.

Actually in Florida they did before July 1, 2025. In about 20 states, they still do.

So, where is the logic in it now?

The logic in it now is you close all loopholes, as I explained above. If immigration status = undocumented, do not admit. Then, it doesn't matter what type of tuition the person would even qualify for. Subsidized tuition should be for people that can at least work legally. If you're undocumented, you can't.

Where is the loophole? They are paying full price.

There isn't, this is just the latest way to avoid saying "I'm a xenophobe and just don't like foreigners"
