Karrin Taylor Robson “reverses 'Dreamer' tuition stance”
8/15/25, 12:00 PM
In case you missed it, Karrin Taylor Robson has now joined Andy Biggs in abandoning DREAMers, making comments that are completely at odds with her previous strong support for allowing DREAMers in Arizona to pay in-state tuition.
As the Arizona Daily Star reported, she “actually appeared in a commercial urging voter support” for the 2022 proposition that helps DREAMers afford college before she ran away from her position and hoped voters wouldn’t notice.
Asked to explain her shifting stance, a Karrin Taylor Robson spokesperson “declined to respond.”Whether it’s supporting massive cuts to Medicaid, backing tax-hiking tariffs and even refusing to call for the release of the Epstein files, this is just the latest example of how Biggs and Taylor Robson are locked in a nasty “race to the right.”

Arizona Daily Star: GOP candidate for Arizona governor reverses 'Dreamer' tuition stance

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Karin Taylor Robson is making comments that appear to disavow her previously expressed support for allowing "dreamers'' in Arizona to pay in-state tuition.
Answering questions last week at a meeting of Republicans in a legislative district in Maricopa County, Robson said she has "never supported free tuition for illegal aliens.''
That, by itself, may not directly contradict statements she made in 2022 in support of Proposition 308.
But that was not the end of her answer.
"I support President Trump's executive order,'' she added — the one issued in April that directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to sue states that offer lower tuition to residents without legal status than students from other states.
It isn't just that Robson supported Proposition 308. She actually appeared in a commercial urging voter support.
And what of her support of the executive order?

Just a few years ago, there was bipartisan support for the idea, but easing access to higher education for noncitizen students has become a target for Republicans — led by President Donald Trump — and is another facet of the GOP-controlled federal government’s anti-immigrant agenda.
For example, Karrin Taylor Robson, one of the leading contenders for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2026, endorsed the 2022 ballot measure, but last week said she backs Trump’s executive order targeting undocumented students.
