“No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens,” – AG Pam Bondi

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday the Justice Department will be filing suit against Kentucky for a policy that allows illegal immigrants residing in the Bluegrass State to qualify for in-state tuition rates at public universities.

U.S. v. Andrew Beshear was filed in the Lexington-based Eastern District federal court, alleging the law “unconstitutionally discriminates against U.S. citizens not afforded the same privilege,” perceptibly from out-of-state.

“No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens,” Bondi said.

“The Department of Justice just won on this exact issue in Texas, and we look forward to fighting in Kentucky to protect the rights of American citizens.”

When reached for comment, a representative for Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear said he had no role in creating the policy and that it is enforced by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (KCPE) which is an independent agency.

“We haven’t been served with this lawsuit and had no advance notice, nor any prior discussion with the Department of Justice about it,” Beshear spokesperson Crystal Staley told Fox News Digital.

Staley said the regulation was issued “before 2010” and that KCPE, not Beshear, has sole authority to determine tuition-related residency requirements.

“The governor has no authority to alter CPE’s regulations and should not be a party to the lawsuit.”
