They are people that reside in the State of California.
as such they are entitled to instate benefits.
Change the laws to state that the person must be a legal resident of the United States and have a permanent residence in California.
Problem solved
The California Legislature passed the controversial measure in 2001 that allowed any student regardless of immigration status who attended a California high school for at least three years and graduated to qualify for in-state tuition at the state's colleges universities. In-state tuition saves each state college student about $11,000 a year and each University of California student about $23,000 a year.
A state appellate court in 2008 ruled the law was unconstitutional after a group of out-of-state students who are U.S. citizens filed a lawsuit alleging the measure violated federal prohibitions barring illegal immigrants from receiving post-secondary benefits not available to U.S. citizens based on state residency.
But the state Supreme Court noted that the California law says nothing about state residency,
A common sense solution that will never happen until there is rioting in the streets of CA. It's counter to everything held dear on the West coast.They are people that reside in the State of California.
as such they are entitled to instate benefits.

Problem solved
It'll be hard to change it, the people that pander to the illegals will all vote no.
Sorta makes you think we're just plain fucked, doesn't it?We have government telling little kids they can't have flags on their bikes or sell cupcakes but they sure as hell can enter the country illegally and get social benefits.
Imagine a world with zero progressives.
Sigh....bankrupt city here we come. With CA's UC system raising tuition fees, classes being crowded and hard to come by for legal immigrants and US citizens this ruling is going to further create a FUBAR'd system and basically contribute to bankrupting of this state. I guess the next move for "liberal progressives" will be to give illegals the "right" to receive welfare and be able to cast votes in elections.
California asked for it.Illegals getting benefits while citizens in good standing get shoved to the side.
Thank you "progressives".

California has fallen, you are currently witness to the death throes. The only 'solution' to delay the inevitable is a federal bailout of the state to pay for this insanity.
I suggest anyone living there leave now.

I love the endless parade of people coming in here predicting all sorts of bizarre and frankly laughable consequences for this. Now I know you haven't done a single shred of research to back up your idea of 'bankrupt city', and it's extremely likely you've never attended a UC or a Cal State school, (unlike me, a UC San Diego alum) but by all means, break down exactly how much you think this law will cost California a year.
Use numbers, use sources, be specific.
If you knew the slightest thing about California you would know that these sorts of programs have next to zero do to with the budget problems the state has. The proposition system is the #1 culprit through the stupidity of conservatives in drafting prop 13 (primary) and the liberals in drafting Prop 98 (secondary, as it was a response to prop 13).
The reason this even made into to the California Supreme court is that students who were US CITIZENS who were not California residents were paying the higher Out of State tuition rates while illegal aliens were able to pay the considerably cheaper In state tuition rate.
Why should illegals who are not legal residents of the state be able to get cheaper tuition than that of legal citizens of this country???
Yes, it is. Out-of-state citizens don't get that, and they at least pay federal taxes. The whole point of getting in-state tuition is that you're getting something back for your state taxes. Illegals don't pay state tax. Therefore, they are stealing subsidized education.Oh no! They have to pay in-state tuition instead of out-of-state tuition. The sky is falling!
