DENVER — Sen. Angela Giron on the first day of the new legislative session Wednesday introduced a modified version of a bill that failed last year proposing to afford illegal immigrants in-state college tuition rates.
The Pueblo Democrat’s revamped proposal, SB15, mirrors last year’s bill in that it would allow Colorado high school graduates who have been in the country much of their lives and are pursuing legal citizenship to attend state colleges at the resident rate, but would not grant them state College Opportunity Fund dollars. “None of us want to create an underclass of people,” Giron said. “The state can’t afford that, and this country can’t afford a permanent underclass.

Put her in a box and mail her to Mexico.
hey Dumbell, what part of ILLEGAL don't you understand? If someone came into your mom to rob you (which ILLEGALS are doing) are you going to offer them milk and cookies?
If you are -- YOU MUST BE NUTS!!!. OOPS I forgot, you are nuts, because you are a DEMONMARXIST!
“None of us want to create an underclass of people,”
So, come here illegally and we will give you in-state tuition. But, don’t you dare come from another state and expect in-state tuition because you are just a citizen. Or should I say an underclass in this country!
UGH!
What part of ILLEGAL does she not understand? Round 'em up and ship 'em out. Give the tax dollars back to the citizens.
“None of us want to create an underclass of people,” Giron said. “The state can’t afford that, and this country can’t afford a permanent underclass. They’re here. Let’s make the most of it.”
Next session...
“None of us want to create an underclass of people,” Giron said. “The state can’t afford that, and this country can’t afford a permanent underclass. They’re here. Let’s get them voting.”
BTW, NOBODY "created an underclass of people," other than THEMSELVES.

How can an illegal alien pursue legal citizenship and why would that be a state determination?
In a Rat’s eyes anything illegal is a term that only applies to U.S. citizens.
