The <a href="/wiki/Illegal_Immigration_Reform_and_Immigrant_Responsibility_Act_of_1996" title="Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996">Federal Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996</a> prohibits undocumented immigrants from access to in-state tuition in public higher education institutions. However, states have been able to overcome IIRIRA through the passage of legislature that allows any individual who meets guidelines to receive in-state tuition, one example being California's AB 540. Laws which favor in-state tuition for undocumented youth have allowed them easier access to California's public institutions of higher education, as it eases the cost of attendance engendered from their immigration status.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1994 California voters passed <a href="/wiki/Proposition_187" class="mw-redirect" title="Proposition 187">Proposition 187</a>, engendering a new wave of anti-immigrant sentiments aimed to strip undocumented residents from accessing social services such as healthcare, education, and law enforcement.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In fact, as many as 300,000 undocumented students would have been barred from attending primary and secondary public schools.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The proposition originally passed with voter support, but was later challenged in the courts and found unconstitutional by District Court Judge Marianne Pfaelzer in March 1998.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="States_with_similar_legislature">States with similar legislature</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=California_Assembly_Bill_540_(2001)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: States with similar legislature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2001, the first state to adopt in-state tuition legislation was a victory by undocumented students in Texas.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A wave of other states followed suit shortly after, states such as California (2001), New York (2001), Utah (2002), Washington (2003), Illinois (2003), Oklahoma (2004), Kansas (2004), New Mexico (2005), and Nebraska (2006) passed similar legislation allowing access to in-state tuition for undocumented students.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As of 2018, the political landscape has changed as states have contended with the issue of providing in-state tuition to such students.
