State Laws Circumvent Federal Immigrant-Education Rule
Daily Policy Digest
Immigration Issues / Immigration
A federal law that discourages states from treating illegal immigrant students as state residents is being challenged in a number of states. At issue is whether the children of illegal immigrants are entitled to lower tuition rates at state universities. Any state that offers in-state tuition or other higher-education benefits to undocumented immigrants must, under federal rules, do the same for out-of-state residents.
Observers report efforts to relax immigration laws have become much more controversial since the September 11 attacks.
Supporters of efforts to enlarge education benefits for illegals claim a better education will raise their earnings power, provide more in taxes, and enable them to support themselves and their families.
Of the estimated 50,000 to 70,000 undocumented students graduating each year from U.S. high schools, few go on to college and many drop out before they reach 12th grade.

Western values are by no means secure. They're under ruthless attack by the academic elite on college campuses across America. These people want to replace personal liberty with government control; they want to replace equality with entitlement; they want to halt progress in the name of protecting the environment. As such, they pose a much greater threat to our way of life than any terrorist or rogue nation. Multiculturalism and diversity are a cancer on our society, and, ironically, with our tax dollars and charitable donations, we're feeding it.
Multiculturalism and the Fall of Western Civilization
...The Founding Fathers saw diversity as a reality and as a problem: hence the national motto: e pluribus unum, chosen by a committee of he Continental Congress consisting of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. Later political leaders who also were fearful of the dangers of racial, sectional, economic, and cultural diversity (which indeed, produced the largest war of the century between 1815 and 1914), responded to the call of "bring us together," and made the promotion of national unity their central responsibility. "The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of of its continuing as a nation at all," warned Theodore Roosevelt, "would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities." In the 1990s, however, leaders of he United States have not only permitted that but assiduously promoted the diversity rather than the unity of the people they govern.
A multicivilizational United states will not be the United States; it will be the United Nations.
SYMPOSIUM Q: Is Multiculturalism a Threat to the National Security of the United States?
The basic message of "multiculturalism" is that all cultures are equally good and beneficent — except Western culture, which is violent and oppressive.
Disarmament through psychological conditioning takes place endlessly in America's public schools, colleges and universities and, most powerfully, in the products of the entertainment industry, which now is the dominant force in American culture. The result is evident: While many average Americans recognize American Muslims as a dangerous fifth column, the multiculturalist elite demands a "tolerance of diversity" that Islam itself does not know. A Republican administration invites mullahs to the White House to celebrate Islamic holidays.
On the one side are the forces of fourth-generation war, led by Islam. Arrayed against them are the final dregs of the modern age, sometimes called the New World Order but more accurately named Brave New World. The latter combines the anti-Western ideology of cultural Marxism with manipulative technologies: the virtual realities of the video screen, mind-altering drugs (Ritalin is soma for kids) and, most dangerous of all, genetic engineering. While each of these contenders is bitterly hostile to the other, they agree on one thing: Western culture's got to go. The 21st century promises to be an interesting time.
The Multicultural Theocracy: An Interview With Paul Gottfried
What are the prospects for containing or rolling back the multicultural theocracy?
Note I do not think these battles will solve long-term problems; unless Western peoples start having families again, the social unit and population base needed for a civilization will be lacking.
While societies can assimilate, there are three presuppositions that must obtain: a core population that carries a distinctive culture that it hopes to preserve; a minority that is accepted on the condition that it eagerly embraces that majority culture; and a sufficiently controlled immigration so that assimilation is possible.
