Just to ask isn't this like these lawmakers are trying to pass their own set of Immigration laws ? Congress has already voted down the Dream Act.

.....if they meet residency requirements.

And being here legally isn't a residency requirement?

Being in the country legally isn’t a “residency requirement”?

"...to illegal immigrant students if they meet residency requirements."

To liberals, there is absolutely no cognitive dissonance in that particular phrase.

Edwards was right. There are two Americas. One America can see the idiocy in this sentence, and the other America can't.

Aiding and abetting. It’s time to start putting some politicians in prison. They’ll knock off this kind of crap.

Here is some better news
NORFOLK — A bill passed in the House of Delegates Tuesday that would prohibit immigrants from attending public colleges in Virginia.Tim McCarthy is part of Virginia Organizing, a group lobbying against this and other immigration bills passed in the House.

“We think they should be given that opportunity, otherwise it’s a way of kind of denying not only them but ourselves of the full contribution that they could make it our country,” McCarthy says.

Because we are serfs working for the masters in the big house. Torches and pitchforks will be required before this is over.

Why should these guys follow anything, we had a congress and a president who circumvent the constitution. Idiot says as idiot does. Cap and trade is dead on a national level but 12 northeastern states have adopted it as revenue in the form of what they call the RGGA tax. It's out of control, these idots are making sh##up as they go along and getting away with it. It is time we point the finger at these criminals and prosecute them!

How Politiicians Think:
"Hmm... What to do, what to do.
The state is in debt. The country is in debt.
We don't have the money to pay off the money we have borrowed.
Yet we still spend more than we take in every year.

Hey! Here's a great idea:
Colleges spend more on each student than they charge for tuition.
Thats why the state and the federal government must subsidize our colleges.
So let's drop tuition for illegal aliens and lose even more money.
That way illegals can pay less for tuition than veterans from other states."

La Raza meaning "the Race" of course. They believe that they are going to take swaths of land from the United States. Allowing people to live here who obviously do not have the best intentions for America.

See "Fall of the Roman Empire" for details.

The University of WA has been offering in-state tuition to illegals who graduate from local high schools for 10 years. A group of Asian students sued for the same rights and won a refund of the difference between the in-state and out of state tuition that the Asians had been forced to pay. Part of the settlement must have been a ban on talking about the case or the settlement because all reference to the case has been scrubbed from the internet. The only reason that I know for sure that it even happened is because we know someone who signed on to the case.
