Ealier in the year Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick was looking into ways to offer illegal immigrants in-state tuition to it's state colleges. However, he decided against the idea due to "significant legal impediments".
It amazes me that he even considered it. While he recinded the action, the loons are having hissy fits.
"This would be slamming the door on hundreds of students who are graduating this year," said Loren McArthur, staff director of the Merrimack Valley Project, a group of churches, labor unions, and others who sent Patrick 300 letters this month urging him to act now. "If this is his decision, it's unfortunate. But we will be urging him to reconsider."
"We had hoped that the governor would honor his commitments and his promises to make education access fair for all Massachusetts students," said Shuya Ohno, spokesman for the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. "He understood that it was a question of fairness. What he couldn't articulate is that it actually makes money for the state."
Now, I am sure there are illegal immigrants who are very bright and gifted students. No doubt race has nothing to do with those who have the gumption to excel in school, however, the operative word here is "illegal". Why not give special tuition to criminals who decided to rob a liquor store? If students and their parents who are here illegally want to get these special benefits, why not get "legal"? Why take up seats in our schools that should be open for people that are here legally.
For you left wing loons that don't understand what illegal means, here is the definition from the dictionary... "not according to or authorized by law : unlawful, illicit; also : not sanctioned by official rules (as of a game)." Is that so hard to understand?
