Durbin also referenced the DREAM ACT...which is Hatch's baby..
It gives illegals the ability to get instate tuition...where LEGAL CITIZENS...from other states cannot.
What I heard was that the bill gavce states the right to do that, but didn't mandate them to do so. In other words, it removes the excuse of "they're illegal" from all state educational institutions, for imposing out-of-state tuition.
Probably a court case (state by state) would find that residency is enough to justify in-state tuition. Keep in mind, the plan is to relabel all these aliens "legal," so there will be no such thing as an illegal alien, save for the outright criminal/terrorist class.
we have the Federal Government to thank for all the Housing loans, and other benefits for the illegals.
Between big business that hires them and the govt that gives them tuition, housing loans, etc we don't stand a chance.
Bush said,
"we don't want to pit neighbors against neighbors"...
THEY AREN'T MY F...G NEIGHBORS, BUSH! they are criminals living next door to me!
I am ready to start with Closing the border and then tackling the rest of the problem. We can't send 12 million back and Mexico wont take them. No making laws to criminalize illegals will be worth the paper its written on if we don't close the da@n borders!
