Just like gay marriage, the voters will have no say decrees Deval.

So that means he is willing to either give up federal aid or allow residents of any state to get the in-state tuition rate, right? That hasn't been removed as a federal law yet as far as I know.

how about in-state tuition for out-of-state (but legal) citizens?
To: Andy'smom
The obvious antidote for this is for all students from surrounding states applying for admission to Mass. schools to just check off the little box for in-state tuition. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. And see what happens.

Deval is haunted by anxiety over the question "am I liberal enough?" and "what can I do to become REALLY liberal?"

Amen to that. Why bend over backwards for the person who is breaking the law already.

Then let Patrick pay for it himself if he loves the idea so much...
To: Andy'smom
At the same time he announced massive cutbacks in education.

Why the heck would Deval have to do this without the legislature? The Mass legislature is about 90% Democratic and they all helped elect this guy with the campaign slogan of “Yes We Can!” (which Obama was using the other night too). I’d think the Mass legislature would be delighted pass this for their buddy, Deval.

Is he aware of this?
In September 1996, in the landmark Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), Congress prohibited states from giving in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. Members of Congress evidently never imagined that some states might simply disobey federal law.
It is a 1996 federal law that prohibits any state from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, unless the state also offers in-state tuition rates to all U.S. citizens.

Governor Deval Patrick says hes researching whether he can take unilateral action to allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state colleges.And the way liberals think (results mean nothing), he gets full credit on this for just thinking out loud about it.
