Who needs Amnesty when you can get the same breaks as citizens without the hassle?

This story from a reader in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, so thanks.

Gov. Deval Patrick said Thursday he’s looking into whether he can skirt the Legislature by unilaterally allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state colleges.

In state tution for illegals in Massachusetts through a decree from the governor. Typical liberalism. Do like the Ohio line, though. Very true.

If illegals get a better deal than other non residents, why not just make it free?

In state tution for illegals in Massachusetts

Demcrats steal money from tax paying citizens to give it to criminals.

I.M.P.E.A.C.H. Deval Patrick...

The Citizens of Massachusetts already voted on this issue and there's to be NO in-state tuition or state financial aid for illegal aliens or children of illegal aliens.

and if they're already illegal, why shouldn't illegals from NY and Vermont and California and Florida rush right up to Mass. and get a nice, cheap college education?....they don't have to prove they live there because they are illegals without credetials...

once again, the tax payers and the hard workers and the good citizens get the shaft and the shysters get the goodies...

All of which goes to show something about the voters of Massachusetts who keep voting in this type of government and these types of politicians.

Perhaps everyone does get the government that they want.

Does this mean my niece in Alaska can get in-state tuition in Massachusetts???? Or in any other state where they give it to illegals?

"We don't tell immigrant children, I think the term is undocumented immigrant children, that they can't go to public colleges and universities," Patrick said. "We say they can come, we just say they have to pay a different rate than the kid who sat across the aisle from them at the local high school. That to me doesn't seem right. But I don't have the answer yet on how to fix this. I want to fix this."

So typical for a modern liberal like Patrick to skirt over the fact that the "undocumented immigrant" child should have never been in the high school system to begin with. In essence he is saying subliminaly, "We are lax on high school admission so why should we be tougher at the college level?"

The double-whammy of course is that the "undocumented immigrant" child also sees the benefit of pc correct programs at the college level where it is par for course to "diss" the concept of the US in general. Therefore we are supposed to allow illegal immigrants to enter at will because we are a "better nation" by showing such compassion only to allow these "immigrants" to learn, at a cut rate, how they are perpetual victims of their former high school/future/current college mates. It boggles the mind.
