The debate over migration is primarily a federal one, but Florida's large immigrant population ensures that state lawmakers struggle with two issues every year: Should Florida permit students who aren't legal U.S. residents to be present at universities on in-state tuition? And should Florida help the families of current legal immigrants pay for their children's health care, which isn't covered by the state's low-cost health insurance program for children?
Halfway through the annual 60-day legislative session, there's broad trust among advocates that Florida this year could give subsidized health coverage for legal immigrants' children. In-state tuition for illegal immigrant children, however, looks unlikely again this year no bill has been filed to alter it.
