I was going to blog about something else today. But my plans changed when I saw The Detroit News‘ March 14 editorial in favor of tuition equality for undocumented Michigan high-school graduates.

I congratulate The News for taking that stand — and reassure some of the people who left online comments critical of the editorial.

For some of the objectors, their basic argument came down to fairness: Because “the illegals” don’t pay taxes, they should not get the same tuition discount as citizens, who help support those schools. To those making that case, I have some good news. Undocumented residents actually do pay taxes. They pay quite a lot.
