Poll: Should Illegal Immigrants Get In-State Tuition in Rhode Island?

Hundreds of Rhode Islanders gathered at the State House last week to protest Gov. Lincoln Chafee's backing of a plan that gives undocumented students in-state tuition at public colleges and universities.

According to The Providence Journal, Chafee states that the plan, which was voted upon by the Board of Governors for Higher Education last, will “improve the intellectual and cultural life of our state while strengthening our work force and helping our economy” by helping “more Rhode Islanders to go on to college.”

Those who disagree are calling for Chafee to be impeached and blasting him for trying to turn Rhode Island into a "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants, according to an AP report.

In that report, Keith Anderson, a teacher at an East Providence High School, is quoted as saying, "Illegal is illegal. It's time we started helping out the taxpayers of this state."
