New York Assembly Democrats on Tuesday blocked a bill that proposed expanding college tuition aid for children of deceased and disabled military veterans after-- having a week earlier-- approved a state budget that set aside $27 million in college tuition aid for illegal immigrants.
The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 on Tuesday to shelve the bill, effectively quashing its chances of going to the floor, the Post-Standard reported.
Glick said any expansion of college tuition aid to Gold Star families was not within the state's budget and pointed to an already-existing program that provides partial assistance to 145 students who are dependents of vets who served in combat zones, the New York Post reported.
“Assemblywoman Glick should be ashamed of herself,” said State Sen. Robert Ortt, R-Niagara. “We set aside $27 million dollars for college for people that are here illegally. If you’re a child of a fallen soldier, you do not rank as high and you know that by the money.”
Mike Whyland, a spokesman for Assembly Democrats, said the Republican-led bill “would have expanded the eligibility beyond the scope and should be considered within the context of the budget.”
So when illegal aliens need cash -- Democrats spend whatever they feel like. But when families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice need help -- suddenly they are fiscal conservatives?
When asked about objections by GOP lawmakers, he said: “It’s purely political and it’s unfortunate that they are using children as pawns.”

Dems hate veterans, this country, and babies. They love muzzies, money and power.
Why I will never vote dem.
Every New Yorker should be ashamed..........................
Outrageous.
This will never be heard outside of small, conservative sites...
The American people are kept in the dark about the dirty, anti-American tactics of the liberal, socialist democrat politicians...
From Wiki on Deborah Glick, D-Manhattan:
Glick’s political activism began in college and she is still strongly involved in grassroots organizing. Glick first ran for the State Assembly in 1990 and won, becoming the first openly gay state legislator in New York State[3] She has served in the legislature for 28 years, championing a number of progressive legislative causes as well as key local issues.
Proggie dyke. Another great woman politician. Anyone else seeing a common thing here?
Thanks for posting this.
Most veterens, most families of veterens and many of those who have lost family members while serving in the military are conservative, and vote republican.
If the military voted as heavily democrat as illegal aliens, if the military voted as often as illegal aliens do for democrats, then the democrats would be supporting and funding the military.
But there are 30+ million illegal aliens in the country. And their votes are ALL for democrats.
Of course this is horrible but i dont get why every time something is posted about NY and CA there is a ton of indignant outrage on the board, like it is a shock.
I live in NY and unless the Rs take the senate back, this will be the way it is.
Maybe it makes some folks here feel good about their own states or i guess everyone needs a boogeyman.
If that’s the case, glad to oblige :)
The VAST majority who post on those threads don’t even live in those 2 states.
I find that hysterical :)
Democrats are Democrats first.
Being an American is way down on their list.
Nothing but anti American Asswipes! I will never spend a another dime in New York!!!
Democrats keep making all of these beautiful campaign commercials for Republicans in 2020...but will they find the balls to produce and air them?
Hypocrites as usual. Just try to settle illegals in their hometowns.
The communist north must be destroyed
God Damn all democrats. Over the past few decades, they have become purely evil people.
It’s a shame that the lofo democrat voters never learn about this stuff and that Republican candidates don’t scream it from the rooftops. Only conservatives hear about these horrific things on conservative boards.

NY HATES AMERICA!
I hear you. I’m in Texas now, but when I lived in California I got tired of reading cruel posts about CA. There are a lot of good folks in liberal states, they are just outnumbered.
The sick bastard hateful Dims. Just sick.
The Illegals probably take the money and run
