Are You Ready To pay For Illegal Immigrant’s College Tuition? If The ACLU Has Its Way, You Will.
The DREAM Act, by the way, (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) is in fact before Congress now - not that we have too much to worry about when it comes to this Congress getting anything done, even a lame piece of legislation like this - and the ACLU does in fact support it.
From Stop The ACLU:
Ten states are currently defying this federal law. Section 616 would allow these and all other states to offer in-state tuition rates to any illegal alien who obtains the Z visa and attends college.
The injustice of this provision is obvious. Illegal aliens would receive a taxpayer subsidy worth tens of thousands of dollars and would be treated better than U.S. citizens from out of state, who must pay three to four times as much to attend college. In an era of limited educational resources and rising tuitions, U.S. citizens, not aliens openly violating federal law, should be first in line to receive education subsidies.
Further, legal aliens who possess an appropriate F, J, or M student visa would not receive this valuable benefit. Nor would they be eligible for the federal student loans that illegal aliens could obtain by this provision.
The sheer insanity of this leaves me speechless. Are these people mentally ill?
