Because States are not administrative provinces of the federal government. They are district and separate. If NYS, in its infinite wisdom, wants to give illegals instate college tuition then the residents of that state should pay for it. Same as when this same all-knowing government decides to keep its citizens SAFE by limiting magazines to 7 rounds - this only applies to NYS. No reason someone from NH should pay for NY and California giving illegals instate or free college. And let's not forget the job and tax revenue losses when ATI and other companies left New York.
