DOJ Fights Immigrant Tuition in California, Silent on Corporate Tax Avoidance
The Hill reports the DOJ is challenging California laws allowing in-state tuition for undocumented students. This governmental energy is truly admirable, focusing on providing an equitable education for young adults. (One might wonder about the efficiency of deploying federal legal resources to deny education, rather than, say, clawing back the estimated $250 billion annually in corporate tax
avoidance , but who are we to question priorities?) While this administration frets over tuition for students who grew up in the US, major corporations continue to siphon off literal fortunes. It appears the DOJ's moral compass points firmly at the least powerful within society, ensuring no one gets a leg up unless they jumped through every legal hoop possible, or, you know, just own a massive
corporation.
