what it means and what it's impact is on you
"The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."
The Citizens and only Citizens of the United States will be entitled to the privileges and the immunities the state's government and the nation's government provides. Although, the states do not have the power to discriminate or prohibit out-of-state residents to do certain things, the states still have the power and right to charge out-of-state citizens higher tuition due to the reason that the in-state-residents have paid the taxes to support the funding of the public universities. So this sentence means to me that it is unconstitutional to prevent all citizens from the opportunities provided to them, yet it is not unconstitutional to treat differently the out-of-state residents when it comes to money terms.
This sentence has a different impact on me. Because I know people who have not come here illegally, yet are not considered citizens. So to me, they have been allowed into the United States, allowed into the state, yet denied the rights and opportunities to live. That's what the sentence meant to me before I read the explanation.
