HISTORY LESSON, ARKANSAS STYLE - GRANTING (FREE COLLEGE TUITION) EDUCATION RIGHTS TO *ILLEGAL IMMGRANTS* IS NOW EQUAL TO GRANTING CIVIL RIGHTS TO BLACK AMERICANS - ping.

(It's those Tyson chicken dollars squawking, Martha! So let's get this straight - the mad rush to open the border with Mexico and grant amnesty to umpteen tens of millions of illegal migrants is now all of a sudden tantamount to the 1957 Black civil rights movement for integration!!??)

Well Mike - this is a whole coop of chicken $hit!

Just this afternoon, I was talking to a very bright (American-born) citizen who will graduate from high school this year and he was wondering how he is going to be paying for college.

How will he Mike? Will he have to move to Mexico for a few years then come back across the border to qualify?

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

Gov. Mike Huckabee, who included the bill in his legislative package, drew a contrast between Wednesday’s vote in support of illegal immigrants and the state’s handling of the 1957 desegregation of Little Rock’s Central High School.

"They took a stand that Arkansas can be proud of," Huckabee said in describing the House. "I think if we had taken a similar one in 1957, it would have made us proud for a long, long time."

The Arkansas House of Representatives voted 63-31 to pass a bill that would allow illegal aliens who graduate from Arkansas high schools to qualify for in-state tuition rates and taxpayer-funded state scholarships at state universities.

"We have allowed these kids to dream," said Rep. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, in support of her House Bill 1525. "We have put them in our schools, we have urged them to dream, and then we cut them off the moment they get out of high school."
