Illegals Get Reduced Tuition & Green Cards


Recommended Posts

No doubt George Bush will ultimately sign the Dream Act, which has just been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on a vote of 16-3.

Perhaps Homeland Security and Border Control should be shut down to pay for this mega entitlement bill. Not only will illegals qualify for reduced in-state tuition rates, but after 2 years of college they can apply for green cards.

The Dream Act, together with the Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, will mean that in addition to reduced tuition, illegals will have an advantage to getting accepted at competitive, highly regarded state supported colleges like UC Berkeley, UCLA, Rutgers, U of M Ann Arbor, Penn State etc. Every position taken by an illegal alien will mean that position is denied to a US citizen or legal resident.

When Grey Davis initially vetoed an in-state tuition bill for illegals in California when it was presented to him in year 2000, Davis said that based on Fall 1998 enrollment figures at the U. of Cal. and Cal. State U. alone, this legislation could result in a revenue loss of over $63.7 million to the state of California.

That's the projected cost for ONE state, albeit the most populous state. Consider how much the Dream Act will cost US taxpayers annually when all 50 states participate.

Shame on the Republicans!

"Senate panel approves bill on illegals"

By Stephen Dinan

Published October 24, 2003

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill yesterday allowing illegal immigrant students to gain legal status and to pay in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities.

The bill undoes parts of the 1996 immigration reform. As part of that law, Congress decided states should not be allowed to offer in-state tuition to illegal aliens.

Sen. Jon Kyl, Arizona Republican, said it was critical to make sure illegal immigrants weren't receiving more benefits than legal immigrants under the bill. "I don't want to send a signal that the illegal choice carried an advantage over the legal choice," Mr. Kyl said.

He offered an amendment, defeated on voice vote, that would have forced any state that allows illegal immigrants in-state tuition to offer the same rates to any legal resident of the United States.
