“Is there ANYTHING in this bill that doesn’t harm America?”
I think it was printed on recycled paper. ;)
“a college education for illegal aliens...”
one has to take care of the future cadre of the democrat party. they are the occupying army you know and until hillary! seizes the reigns of power, they must be provided for, nurtured and groomed for the jobs they will do. (grease up the gulag boots.)
They are going to expect classes in Spanish!
Is there ANYTHING that shows how unconcerned our Congress is for this country?
There...fixed it.
And all classes will be in Span-ish so if you are an American and speak our language and have our culture you are out of here!
A Civil War is coming. Prepare yourself now.
good mercy....
Their concern is tantamount to saying: Do not criminalize illegal activities and do not adopt any law enforcement procedures which may be used to separate individuals who are here illegally from the legal immigrant and legal resident alien population. They want to obfuscate the line between legal and illegal by suggesting that the citizens of the United States use euphemisms such as undocumented workers rather than the legally correct and descriptive, "illegal aliens." It should be also noticed that they oppose protective measures which would cripple anti-terrorist activities.

In criticizing recent Heritage Foundation research on the cost of low-skill immigration and amnesty, proponents of the Senate immigration legislation (S. 1348), including Administration spokesmen, have falsely claimed that the proposal would not give illegal immigrants access to the U.S. welfare system.
While provisions of the Senate bill would delay illegal immigrants' access to welfare for several years, over time nearly all amnesty recipients would be offered legal permanent residence and access to more than 60 federal means-tested welfare programs.
Specifically, Z visa holders would immediately be given Social Security numbers and would begin earning entitlement to Social Security and Medicare (which are not means-tested welfare programs).
Some ten to thirteen years after enactment, amnesty recipients would begin to gain access to a wide variety of means-tested welfare programs, such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, public housing, and Food Stamps. The amnesty process under S.1348, and the different stages of the process at which amnesty recipients become eligible for different government benefits, are precisely described in "Amnesty Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $2.6 Trillion."
In state students will be affected too.
If you have an illegal family with four or five children and $100,000 in annual income, of which $75,000 is on a cash basis, off the books, the family appears to be "poor." Any college students in that family (anchor babies and illegals) will then become eligible for Pell grants, state and University grants, work study, as well as subsidized Perkins and Stafford Loans.
Contrast with a white American family, possibly with legal immigrant parents, earning $50,000, all on the books. Not only will they be punished by high taxes and a higher cost of living, but the college students in the family will be denied grants and receive unsubsidized Stafford Loans. Even more likely is that the parents will have to take out Parent PLUS Loans or even private loans.
In addition, the colleges and universities are legally allowed to discriminate against the white American family (affirmative action). I have no doubt that affirmative action extends to financial aid, too.
The end result is that it doesn't pay to be a U.S. citizen, rather the U.S. citizen is legally obligated to subsidize those who break and scoff at the law.
It's a recipe for disaster.
Come to America, get a college education at our expense! I’ve had it with Washington. Those clowns there don’t represent me, or most of the people in this country. They’re in Washington to feather their own nests. It’s time the corruption of politics that exists in Washington came to an end.
Where’s a class action suit by legal US citizens who get socked with out-of-state rates?

States Grapple With In-State Tuition for Illegal Immigrants
Check out the fifth paragraph down from the top.
It becomes increasingly apparent with each passing day that the United States Congress no longer represents the will of the true citizens of the United States. Instead they represent the will of themselves, other nations, globalists, and global corporate interests. It is quickly coming a time when we citizens must take the necessary action to wrest control of our government from their corrupt hands and return it to those who will represent our national rights as American citizens. It is time now to begin preparing for a new 21st century tea party. Our national sovereignty and our children’s future freedom hangs in the balance. Apathy will only secure our demise. - OB1
