Houston has most undocumented college students
— reported by KHOU CBS Channel 11

Since 2001, Texas became the first state by law to allow undocumented students into public colleges at the subsidized in-state tuition rate and make them eligible for financial aid, as long as they have lived in the state for three years and graduated from high school.
Houston now leads the state with upwards of 600 such undocumented students going to public colleges.
Not surprisingly, it wasn’t hard to find critics of the law. They say it does nothing more than encourage illegal immigration and that it gives unfair advantage to immigrant students over those who are here legally.
