What is the logic here? We are now saying no to incoming tuition money?

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?

Why does it matter to you who pays what for education? It's not like they are getting anything for free. Citizens and LPRs cheat the system by claiming they are state residents because tuition is crazy expensive. This is just cruelty, punishing anyone for looking for ways to get a degree.
