4. That's circular logic, a fallacy instead of a valid argument.

According to the complaint, since 2022 Virginia law has allowed students without legal immigration status who have lived in the state for at least two years to benefit from reduced, in-state tuition rates while denying that same benefit to citizens who are not residents of Virginia.

OK, if the Court accepts that argument, then why allow a reduction of tuition for in-state students in any case?

Why should out-of-state students feel discriminated when they weren't going to get a reduction in tuition because . . . . they live out of state?
