While U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos toured schools in Miami, Florida last week, she told the Miami Herald that illegal immigrant students in Florida “should not be concerned” about losing in-state tuition because the Trump administration is “very supportive” of states deciding for themselves on such policy.
Quote:
Referring to the words of Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, DeVos said:

Well, as you well know [immigration] is an issue that’s been widely discussed within the administration and I yesterday referred to [Homeland Security Secretary] Gen. [John F.] Kelly’s comments about the fact that [undocumented] students should not be concerned. They should continue to focus on their studies and continue to pursue their educations. The administration is very supportive of states setting their direction and I would say that would be consistent here [for in-state tuition], too.

Good news!

If I was a dreamer living in GA my first step would be to move out of Georgia. That shit state has no opportunities for us.

Because that's something that's decided by each individual state.

What about GA? I'm going back to school next semester and I have to pay out of state tuition.

She still says "illegal". Can't say "undocumented."

Georgia sucks. Why not settle in another state?

This.

She doesn't have any real say in whether or not someone would qualify for instate tuition; this is determined at the college board level typically or institution.

In theory, she could hold off federal funding to schools that enroll undocs.

That would be politically disastrous. Not even the most rabidly anti-immigration politician would consider doing that as it would effect the entire university and the system it is a part of.
