Cuomo wants to let Dreamers go to college for free
NY Post ^ | 1/24/18 | Carl Campanile

Gov. Cuomo wants to give another break to immigrant Dreamers by extending free public college tuition to students who were brought into to the United States illegally as kids.

Cuomo tucked a provision in his $168 billion budget plan that would amend state education law to make the undocumented students eligible for the Excelsior Scholarship program, which covers tuition costs for students from families with incomes of up to $125,000.

On Tuesday, he said the state would continue providing Medicaid to Dreamers regardless of any federal changes to the Deferred Action Childhood Arrival Program, or DACA.

But Republicans in the state Senate said they won’t go along with Cuomo’s latest idea.

Resistors?

Nothing is “free”

Allowing illegal aliens to go to college “free” means the citizens of New York via their tax dollars are paying.

Once again, Democrats support criminals over their own citizens. Tell me again how they win elections? /s

Well, if NY is wealthy enough to give Medicaid to illegal immigrants obviously it does not need Federal funds to finance this program.

Same with tuition programs. If NY has the money laying around to give ‘Dreamers’ free tuition then obviously NY colleges don’t need federal money.

Libtards are crazy. They are doing this in California and it is wrecking the system in a state that is on the verge of a serious debt implosion.

” Tell me again how they win elections? “

Forty percent of the voters are tied to either the Left or the Right. Every election is an attempt to get 51% of the remaining 20% of the voters. These voters are not well informed, ideological, logical or knowledgeable about politics or economics. They vote based on what they saw on TV last, or whether the candidate has great hair or a nice smile. They are very open to an emotional appeal. For the most part, conservative arguments rely on logic. Liberal arguments rely on emotion.

Anyone advocating for illegals to be in the country are traitors. They need to be tried and hanged.

New Yorkers voted for this though. And the state GOP is just as left as the Dems. Tell me again how moderate Republicans can only win?

There are no resistors among Republicans in the NYS Legislature now that Claudia Tenney is in the House (22nd District) and Steve McLaughlin is running Rensselaer County. There are only collaborators with il figlio del sfachime, Andrew Cuomo.

Does this mean that the colleges’ staffs and faculties will work for nothing? Nope it means that he wants the taxpayers to pay for it, and since they elected the Marxist moron, the citizens of NY should be forced to pay for all of his virtue signaling moronic economically clueless ideas.

We need to stop calling these criminals “dreamers” and call them what they really are to us and their victims “nightmares”

We need to label them and stop using liberal/msm names.

“...the state would continue providing Medicaid to Dreamers...”

It isn’t the “state” that provides healthcare to illegals. It is me and you, having our wages confiscated by the democrat lords, who think they know better than we do.

Meanwhile, we continue to slave away, trying to earn a living while our masters take it away from us.
