ChatGPT Party Research

Strongly agree

No

The Republican party generally opposes offering in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants, as they believe it rewards illegal immigration and is unfair to legal residents and citizens. In 2014, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to block the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which would have granted in-state tuition to some undocumented immigrants.
