Scott Walker?s state budget among the big ticket items that will hit the University of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Technical College systems in big ways, is a small line item that is not likely to save the state much money but will have a big impact on the state?s immigrants, advocates for the community say.
The budget would repeal a year-old provision that allows undocumented students who have lived in the state for several years to pay resident tuition, instead of the more expensive non-resident tuition.
