Delegate Seeks Illegal Immigrant Tuition Referendum

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ/WUSA)-- It was a heated debate in Annapolis among lawmakers. And now that it's passed, the arguments continue to get more heated. The latest is a lawsuit and referendum.

Debate over illegal immigrants qualifying for in-state tuition is far from over.

"It's breaking my heart; this is my dream. I want to go to college," said Roberto.

The law goes into effect this summer unless a call for a referendum comes together in time.

"You can't have people violating the law and then receiving a benefit," said State Delegate Pat McDonough, R-Baltimore County. "Maryland has become the Disneyland of America for illegal immigrants."
