U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III ruled Wednesday that Virginia colleges and Universities may deny admission to illegal aliens, The Washington Post reported yesterday. The ruling was in response to a lawsuit against seven Virginia schools for violating immigrant rights by refusing them admission.
The ruling goes against a recent trend in which several schools have allowed illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at public colleges.
Virginia Attorney General Jerry W.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria in September.
