Am I right?
It's not a civil right, but it is a UN human right. So listed on Eleanor Roosevelt's UN Declaration of Human Rights.
I thought he proposed that illegal's progeny should pay the same tuition amount at State Colleges as other residents.
Do taxpaying citizens who are legal residents of Massachusetts get "free" tuition?
We've had Dims down here in NC try to sneak through "free" health care for illegal aliens, at the county level.
There are still enough people in MA that didn't get a free ride through college that will choke on the cost and the fairness of this, the Dim's pass this and a lot of people are going to be p*ssed big time.
Since when does an Attorney General get to make his own law?
Reilly is a freakin' buffoon, he had a big debate yesterday with the Lt. Gov. of this State, she walked all over him. There are several Dims that will not support this madness, reilly is skating on thin ice and this idiot is running for Gov, he just lost the race. The man doesn't know the difference between immigrant and ILLEGAL immigrant, he is the same buffoon that will not prosecute any ILLEGAL for any reason, keep in mind he is the chief law enforcement officer for this State, he should be thrown out on his ass, if this were a Republican he'd be out of office and jailed by now. Only in Massachusetts......
I guess my response is... just...damn.
When the F**K do my children get a free education! My child will be in debt for years to come because of college and this Awipe wants to give it free to those who don't obey our laws nor learn our language.
That man should be run outta town!
When some Josef Stalin wannabe can make new law on his own without the approval of the elected legislature then I guess you could call that pioneering.
Is it true that Reilly still lives with his mom?
From the article...
"Currently, students without permanent legal status must pay out-of-state tuition to attend state and city universities and colleges. Out-of-state tuition is often three to five times the cost than in state tuition. As most of these students cannot afford to pay out-of-state tuition, they are forced to forego college and work in low-paying, low-skilled jobs." "Many of these children," MIRA elaborates, "are excellent students who, given the opportunity, could achieve great success. . . . It is a shock to them, and a loss to the country, that they are unable to live up to their full potential and contribute their talents to American society.""
Wow, what a shocker... Taxpayers' refusal to pay college tuition for people who are here in violation of FEDERAL LAW. I guess maybe they should have immigrated here legally.
This article is an excellent illustration of the infinite stupidity of the American Left, a movement that is more a psychological condition then any set of coherent political beliefs. Utterly unburdened by the facts or even reality, this group of lunatics is once again attempting to redefine an issue by rewriting history. In this case, they've actually persuaded themselves that the poor, poor illegal aliens, who must actually pay tuition to attend the college of their choice, should have the US taxpayer foot the bill instead... and that is the reason that they are stuck in low-paying jobs. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are all inherently criminals, or that in many cases they refuse to learn English. Noooooo, it's actually a shock to them that America, which after all has let them attend school illegally, would dare make them live up to the societal and economic codes that everyone else must live by.
Let's get one thing straight... Out of a hundred illegal aliens, there are probably a few who actually are here for a college education. They are not entitled to it, nor are they entitled to one dime of economic aid of any sort, until they are here in accordance with the laws of this country.
Has anyone considered a mental health check-up for Reilly? The man seems to be totally out of his mind!
When it comes to criminal aliens, he's not that much different than GWB. They are both against the rule of law, they have abdicated their oath of office, and, based on that alone, should be removed from office.
Just so I understand this-free tuition because they are the children of illegals? Just et them go for free while charging tuition to legal Americans? There are so many things wrong with this..
This is the same state where you could serve (as I did) 8 years in the USAF and NOT be considered a veteran, that's right, so as not to be eligible for college assistance & employment preference. This finally changed about 2-3 years ago.
This is the same state that requires the SSNs for each & every resident living at your residence, including minors & grandparents in order to complete an application for "Mass Health" under the pains of perjury, but in the very next sentence states that this need not apply to "undocumented" workers.
so behind the times... even in the peoples republic. we are winning, i think.
What an arse. Doesn't give a fig for the state's own citizens.
