Colorado Democrats Seek Tuition Aid for Undocumented Immigrants - Higher Education: Emboldened by support from Latino voters, Colorado Democrats on Friday renewed their call for a plan to help reduce tuition costs for undocumented immigrant students.
This time, however, they’re the party in power, and such a proposal stands a far better chance of becoming law.
Also, with their new advantage, Democrats can shape a tuition plan to their liking, as opposed to presenting a more limited pitch in the hope that it wouldn’t be shot down outright by their Republican rivals.
In the aftermath of this week’s elections, Democrats went from a one-vote minority in the House to a comfortable 37-28 majority, and the party maintained control of the Senate.
