The state of New Jersey gave out $3.8 million worth of state funding to illegal immigrants to pay for their college tuition during the 2018-2019 academic year, according to data released by the state Higher Education Student Assistance Authority.

In total. 749 “Dreamers” — students who came to the U.S. illegally as minors — were gifted the taxpayer dollars, NJ.com reported. Since $3.8 million was given out altogether, each individual illegal immigrant received an average of over $5,000 to attend college. Read the full story at Campus Reform.
