Bad Idea,
As far as I can tell from reading the actual Utah law, citizens who qualify under the statute would be eligible for resident tuition. Here is the actual wording of the relevant portion of Utah code 53B-8-106:

(1) If allowed under federal law, a student, other than a non-immigrant alien within the meaning of paragraph (15) of subsection (a) of Section 1101 of Title 8 of the United States Code, shall be exempt from paying the nonresident portion of total tuition if the student:
(a) attended high school in this state for three or more years;
(b) graduated from a high school in this state or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in this state; and
(c) registers as an entering student at an institution of higher education not earlier than the fall of the 2002-03 academic year.

By my reading, a Utah student who is a US citizen qualifies as "a student, other than a non-immigrant alien."

Bad Idea,
As for your contention that military service could cause a person to lose Utah residency for tuition purposes, according to 53B-8-102, section (8)(b) "Military personnel who had Utah residency immediately prior to their active duty status and who reestablish residency in Utah upon the termination of active duty status are entitled to resident status for themselves and the immediate members of their families residing with them for tuition purposes," so you seem to be incorrect on that one as well.

It is absolutely fair that these children suffer because of the sins of thier fathers. Its called cause and effect. Its called get in the back of the line. Its called we don't support ILLEGAL aliens nor do we acccept thier offspring as our citizens. You want to be an American citizen? How about you start off by keeping the laws! I hope we see more raids like we saw today. Its time to stop this illegal immigration nonsense. And yes I'll gladly go work in the fields because without all of you illegals here I'd actually make a decent wage. Its called supply and demand economics. Short supply of workers? Pay them well to attract them! Overabudance of illegal aliens working the field? Pay them little. Oh yeah and how about you stop sending that money back home. It hurts our economy more than it helps to have you send your moeny off. If an AMERICAN CITIZEN had your field job at least he would keep the money here.

Enough said!

One, we need a good fence or wall so we can tell who is coming in or out.

Two, we need to provide temporary workers visas to those that are here, if they have jobs. If they got here illegally, they need to pay a fine.

Three, if they then don't come out of the shadows, and are still abusing fake ID's, and are caught, deport them, or put them in a chain gang for 5 years, working at the same wages we pay prisoners - 25 cents a day or some small amount. They would either come out of the shadows and get the temp. workers visa, or leave.

Four, no one that is here illegally should be able to be a citizen of the US. If they want that, they should go back home and apply like the rest.

Five, if you want to live here, learn English, or don't come.

Six, if they have no papers to show they should be here, they shouldn't get a discount for college.

Cant wait to file a law suit by out of state students having to compete with the illegal workers who have invaded the USA, and taken up slots at state universities.

I'm all for educating the people who came he legally and are doing it the right way. They are the ones who deserve the pay "in state" tuition. But those that don't have legal status should pay "out of state" tuitiion. My forefathers came to this country legally and earned their legal status.

Do you know what they do in Mexico to people who are in their country illegally? Read up on it and then make your judgements.

I live in Texas and I see this probably more than those of you in Utah. It is a preplexing situation, but let's follow the law.

Not legal? No extra privilages.
