If I’m not mistaken, I think (from listening to talk radio with one ear) this bill had a provision which allows these kids to get in-state tuition rates. So a kid who is a legal resident of say, Ohio, goes to a PA state school for what, at least double what a resident of PA pays. But a kid who is a legal resident of Mexico gets the in-state rate.

Lots of schools do this already, unfortunately

Not only the bill is sponsored by a racist group who advocates the overthrow of parts of the US....but it is inheritinely unconstitutional

You cant give special benefits based on ethnic status (illegals) to one group and not another. The 14th Amendment actually comes in handy here

Also, real International students pay huge $$ to US colleges. Not only they pay out-of-state tutiton...but also have health insurance and are limited to 19 hrs work at a school per week. You know if the DREAM act passed the Intl students will try to use the DREAM act for their benefit (or else sue)

Thanks for posting all those links. Have you heard that now we are using Mexico’s curriculum to teach these students in OUR schools? It’s getting more and more ridiculous!

Some Oregon high schools are adopting Mexico's public school curriculum to help educate Spanish-speaking students with textbooks, an online Web site, DVDs and CDs provided free by Mexico to teach math, science and even U.S. history. File photo The Oregon Department of Education and Mexico's Secretariat of Public Education are discussing aligning their curricula so courses will be valid in both countries. Similar ventures are under way in Yakima, Wash., San Diego, Calif., and Austin, Texas. "Students come to us with such complex issues," said Tim King, director of Clackamas Middle College and Clackamas Web Academy, where a virtual course...

Why is the word ILLEGAL so difficult for Durbin to understand. I guess when you’re in the Democrat Party ILLEGAL is the status quo.

If this nightmare did a fade-to-black it would be just fine with me.

The ONLY illegals I would consider for citizenship would be those who did combat duty.

Somebody ought to hang that no good pos. He’s been in bed with La Raza from the beginning. He was the one who encouraged Mexicans to fly their flag in the first march last year. He’s sold Americans out. I rate him right up there with that snake, Lindsey Graham.

“Stay very worried ... it will be back!”

You’re right. The Donks will try again and again and again and...

IMHO, the only way to stop this treasonous give away of our country’s sovereignty is to elect a true conservative1 in 2008 and take back the House and Senate.

If the Repubs would pull their collective heads out of their collective asses this could be done. Won’t be easy, but it is doable.

Every day the RATS give the pubs tons of stuff to use in political ads and sound bites. And advertising is the way to get the message out. The LSM sure as Hell ain’t gonna help.

But the LSM, being in trouble itself, is not gonna turn down advertising dollars.

Let’s go Pubs. Grow some cojones, produce some killer advertising, take it to the RATS and get it done!

1And that sure as heck ain't Rootie.

Not only that, but it was amnesty for all illegals willing to lie and say they came here before the age of 16, whether they did or not.

I’m glad amnesty is dead for the third time in a little over a year. But it’ll be back, again and agian. The Dems need the votes.
