Put American Students First Act
This bill enforces a federal law prohibiting states from offering in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants at public colleges. It requires colleges to verify students' immigration status using the DHS SAVE system annually and charge undocumented students the higher out-of-state rate instead. States that continue providing in-state tuition to undocumented students could lose federal education funding. The bill directly affects undocumented immigrant students in public colleges across 22 states and D.C., as well as the states and institutions currently offering these subsidies.
