Colorado's economic woes have been a hot topic lately, but one issue that's flying under the radar is the state's generous tuition policies for out-of-state students. Specifically, the Asset Act, which allows illegal aliens to pay in-state tuition, is under fire from the Department of Justice. This episode delves into the controversy surrounding this policy and the potential consequences for Colorado taxpayers.

The Asset Act, passed in 2013, allows students who attended a Colorado high school to qualify for in-state tuition, regardless of their immigration status. However, this policy has been deemed unconstitutional by the federal government, which has led to a lawsuit against the state. The speaker argues that this policy is not only unfair to out-of-state students but also a misuse of taxpayer dollars. They point out that the federal government has explicit constitutional authority over immigration and that this policy overrides a 30-year-old federal statute.

The speaker also touches on the issue of fairness, highlighting the fact that American citizens are being charged three times more than illegal aliens for the same education. They also discuss the fiscal responsibility aspect, pointing out that every dollar spent on subsidizing tuition for people here illegally is a dollar not spent on something else or extracted from a taxpayer elsewhere.

If you're interested in learning more about this issue and the potential consequences for Colorado taxpayers, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's in-depth analysis and discussion on the Asset Act and its implications.
