Missouri House members vote to bar illegal immigrants from public colleges.
The legislation would require higher education institutions to verify to lawmakers that they have not knowingly enrolled illegal immigrants before they receive state money.
House members gave first-round approval to the bill Wednesday by a voice vote. That came after they defeated an amendment to exempt community colleges from the bill.
A 1996 federal law already prohibits states from offering in-state tuition to illegal immigrants unless they offer the same tuition break to all U.S. citizens.
But at least 10 states have enacted laws providing in-state tuition to illegal immigrants anyway. Those include neighboring Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

Here in Texas, universities give preferential treatment to illegals who take desks from US citizens.

Incidentally, have you noticed that hispanic groups go out of their way to say not all illegals are hispanic (which is true), yet whenever a bill/motion comes up to curb illegal aid and deal with the invasion, they decry it as anti-hispanic?
Fascinating, the irony!

Protestations that this is racist to begin in 5...4...3...2... Whenever someone pulls out the "racist" card in issues involving illegal aliens, I not-so-gently remind them that illegal is not a race.
They sputter, call me names and run off shortly after that.

I recently had one company prompt me for #1 if I *prefer* english. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. I wish I would have written the name of the company down.

Proud of my state.
This almost makes up for the electing of Dead Carnahan and the rampant race-based vote fraud that occurs with regularly in urban St. Louis and KC.

“....illegal immigrants.....”
By definition, if they were truly “immigrants” they would not be illegal.

You are 100% correct-it’s similar to the outcry by different groups concerning aff. action, welfare reform,crime measures, and drug laws.
