A college education for illegal aliens (shaking head in disbelief)
The Washington Times ^ | 06/22/07 | Kris W. Kobach

It's no secret that the Senate immigration bill rewards 12-20 million illegal aliens with immediate amnesty. What is less well known is that the bill also allows illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition rates at public universities, discriminating against U.S. citizens from out of state and law-abiding foreign students.

These provisions are buried deep in the Senate bill. They are part of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act section.

The DREAM Act is a nightmare. It repeals a 1996 federal law that prohibits any state from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, unless the state also offers in-state tuition rates to all U.S. citizens. On top of that, the DREAM Act offers a fast track to U.S. citizenship for illegal aliens who attend college.

On its own, the DREAM Act never stood a chance of passing — even in the Senate. Every scientific opinion poll on the subject has shown over 70 percent opposition to giving in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens.

Not surprisingly, the DREAM Act languished in committee for five years — until the opportunity arose to hitch it to the Senate's "comprehensive" immigration bill of 2006. Now, Sen. Edward Kennedy and his allies have added it to this year's amnesty bill, too. They know that the only way to slip such bad legislation past the American people is to bury it in a comprehensive bill.

“It’s becoming apparent that you may be correct. The ballot box is useless, and the liberals own the soap box. WTF is wrong with these morons in Washington? Are they completely deaf to the demands of the electorate?”

A convenient benefit to crushing insurrection came from 911 itself. Now if you even any form of insurrection, you can be imprisoned for life with no trial, no communication unless approved to the outside world. It’s called the Patriot Act.

Unbelievable. That bunch of traitors in DC need to be dragged from the Senate and hanged from the gallows on the White House lawn. They ALL need to step down before they cause a revolution with their insanity!!

They want to do everything good for the Mexicans, but they want to screw Americans until someone needs to pay for it, and then they will make us pay for it.

How does that go? NO taxation without representation? I don't know about you guys, but I've had enough! They no longer represent me. They give our tax dollars to terrorist organizations, to pay for Aids in Africa and to every other country in the world. I'm fed up!

I read 1776 recently, a great balanced historic representation of the facts. Your quote sums up why the revolution happened. Leaders don’t learn from history. Americans under English rule had the best of all worlds. Cheap land, low taxes (respectively compared to England’s themselves) abundance in natural resources, intellectual brilliance and enjoyment of life as a whole. BUT... Those of the brave saw through this illusion for what it was, slow but sure slide into tyranny.

All the Americans wanted was a couple of states to have an American governor to a British counterpart as those states had begun getting hit with unfair law dictated to them.

Most states already had this fair arrangement or Britich/American counterparts which was working very well.

When it was requested and it reached King George’s ears that their was white resistance such as demonstrations, he made a choice of pulling all of the American governor counterparts in all states and this started the revolution.

My history book in 8th grade talked much about the Boston Tea Party and ‘Taxation without Representation’. Truth is, when leadership stops listening you get noise and white resistance from the population. When leadership uses aballpoint hammer to quell the white resistance you then get physical resistance from the population. We are in the white resistanse phase and coming close to the physical strage if change does not occur. I hope the leadership in Washington gets this memo in time.

“It is all nice to hear this on freepers but WHO CARES? Just freepers. Who ELSE cares? Most people are stupid. They don’t get it. Have we lost our country? What is it going to take to get our nation back? IS IT POSSIBLE? Talking among ourselves will not accomplish the task at hand. We better hope that more people wake up. If the Dems win in 08 then we are in deep trouble.”

The patriots prior to the revolution talked first and debated much about what could be done. They were the minority. Very few ‘Americans’ wanted to be called as such. They were happy as torries, well fed and clothed and actually had less interference from the Britih government then what we have today in America by our laws and government.

What is going to be hard is that we are all well armed citizens. If the torries of Washington’s day were all so armed we would not have won our independance as the government would have harnassed the population as part of the insurrection fighting machine. This is what the government is creating, not necessarily with this direct intention but by de facto. It’s not at a point where any American should spill blood. Talking about is and formulating strategy is a good thing. We just got blindsided from all directions in the last couple of years by our leadership. How ‘We the People’ respond must be thought through very carefully. We have major global enemies. The Brits lost much of their world power by expending such resources on quelling our revolution. The French rose to power, conquered most of Europe and came close to invading and conquering England itself. The only thing preventing that was the English Channel and the Brits still had a glorious powerful fleet.

We may have lost our country. If so it happened in the sixties when our leaders folded up before the “youth revolution” and the complicit courts.

The people are not stupid they have yet to awaken. When they do they will be quite angry just as we are.

We are already in deep trouble. Have been for years. People here on FR are finally waking up. Look how long that took. Don’t be too upset that it takes the civilians a little longer. It is hard to believe how bad our government is behaving.

Ironically, corrupt hellholes like Mexico make it almost impossible for gringos to become Mexican citizens.

For pity’s sake, why don’t we just claim/declare Mexico as the 51st state, we might as well if this nonsense keeps up!

Where did smarmy Kennedy get his hatred towards Americans?

Unfortunate indeed. Civil insurrection is the last thing this country needs at a time our enemies are preparing for the end of our civilization through nuclear terrorism and eventual invasion.

A restorative Revolution may be the ONLY way we will get our Republic back. It may also be the only way to truly defeat the Islamo-fascists trying to destroy us.

Pre-emptive destruction of everything that makes this Country the bastion of freedom it was designed to be strikes me as foolhardy.

You are probably right although I have a feeling our enemies will do something that will force our leadership’s head out of it’s collective *ss before a restorative Revolution would occur. Our government is already doing the pre-empting and our enemies are noticing and exploiting...
