Student gov't rep removed from office over opposition to in-state tuition for illegal immigrants

A former student representative at George Mason University was removed from his position after tweeting about “illegals” receiving in-state college tuition which was perceived as offensive by some students.

Storm Paglia assumed the position of undersecretary for university dining services last May and on Feb. 13 tweeted his disapproval of the Virginia Senate and House allowing “illegals” to have “in state tuition with an easier process than if I were to apply.”

“And the next time someone tells me the word ILLEGAL is inappropriate please enlighten me on how they haven’t broken our country’s laws,” Paglia continued in a separate tweet.

GMU’s student body president, Philip Abbruscato, released [an] official message on Sunday boasting of the school’s “thousands of unique voices” and the student government’s “variety of backgrounds, cultures, ideologies, academic interests, and more.”

Abbruscato also said that “demeaning” remarks from members of GMU’s student government would “not be tolerated at any level regardless of belief,” and removed Paglia from his position on Feb. 20.

What did he say that was in any way demeaning? US citizens are now second class. And, we can win elections yet have no representation?

It’s discrimination to give Mexican nationals in-state tuition but NOT someone from a neighboring state.

THE IN-STATE TUITION EXPRESS

COMING TO AMERICA-- murderers, rapists, pedophiles, thieves and drug dealers, paid agents of foreign govt's advocating the overthrow of the US govt. Coming to infest your communities, schools (and workplaces) w/ drugs, crimes and disease.

They're Coming to America but not on the LI Limited. No running water and flush toilets on those trains. How did the "new students and employees" handle body wastes on the trip over the border?

================================================

Those who advocate open borders should take heed. Huge quantities of heroin and cocaine have flooded across our borders, smuggled by pernicious drug trafficking organizations who've set up distribution networks allover the United States. Tens of billions of dollars from the drug trade, flow into the coffers of transnational drug trafficking organizations and international terrorist organizations.

There have been thousands of accusations of human rights abuse, extortion, and even reports of murder on the freight trains transporting undocumented migrants to the US border.

The real eye-opener is that these freight train companies are involved in the Narco trade, and one report makes it clear that the companies are aware of the abusive practices their train operators are engaging in. The border swarm is all about human trafficking, narco-trafficking, and government collusion.

The trains involved are publicly-traded companies, traded on NASDAQ, with "very influential stockholders", such as the billionaire Clintons and billionaire Mexico resident, Carlos Slim. Other stockholders include,T Rowe Price, Bank of America, and General Electric.

Any and all federal money going to GMU should be stopped immediately.

But it won’t happen.

Why should illegals — 100% of whom are FELONS — be allowed to enroll in our colleges, let alone get in-state tuition? All of them should be in prison, not college.

"boasting of the school’s “thousands of unique voices”

Philip Abbruscato is a moron. For this fascist, those "unique" voices must all be saying the same thing, and they must all agree with him. What a phony.

Anyone that has ANYTHING NICE to say about Illegal Aliens or that think they deserve Special Treatment, can KISS MY ASS:

I paid about $10,000 DOLLARS and went through an Anal Exam by every Federal Agency we have to get my Wife a Green Card The LEGAL WAY!

And I had to PERSONALLY FINANCIALLY GUARANTEE she would NOT be a Public Charge for 7 years.

Who is Guaranteeing Financial Support for these Illegal ALiens? Shouldn’t Government Employees be REQUIRED to support them through a separate TAX on their Paychecks? JUST LIKE I HAD TO??

It took 1 1/2 years to get a Green Card(work Permit), now I find out they issued 9 MILLION to Criminal Illegal Aliens just to be nice?

DEPORT EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!

Bravo! I support your entire post 10000%

If if takes 50 years, we should round up every last one of these illegal criminals and ban them forever from entering the U.S.

Also, we should invalidate any fraudulent birth certificate from the babies they had while here.

If we cannot stop this anti-English, anti-American, anti-capitalist invasion then our Republic will be utterly destroyed. It will be a third world decaying sewer in 25 years.
