"This victory for Arizona dreamers is long overdue and will open
the opportunity for them to improve their career prospects and contribute even
more to their communities," said Sen. Miranda. "There is still work
to be done, however, toward granting in-state tuition at our state
universities. I met with regents this week to discuss that effort and am
encouraged to see progress in the right direction on their part."
"While this ruling is cause for celebration, it's a shame it has
taken time, money and a court ruling to get here. Our state's leaders should
have made the right decision on in-state tuition for dreamers the first
time."
