The prime architect of some of Arizona’s strongest laws aimed at illegal immigration is giving Attorney General Mark Brnovich 60 days to sue the Board of Regents over its policy to let “dreamers” attend school paying resident tuition or he will go to court himself.
Backed by the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch, former state Senate President Russell Pearce claims that a 2006 voter-approved law requires that those not here legally can attend universities only if they pay full out-of-state tuition. And he said that a new ruling by the Court of Appeals striking down discounted tuition for dreamers in the Maricopa community colleges buttresses that argument.
