A lib at where I worked forwarded a Casa action alert last spring. This was when the in-state tuition for illegals bill was being debated. It had five different form letters to congressmen and newspapers attached to it.

One of them said that "This bill is a step towards ending racism that is still prevalent in our communities. Immigrant students are here. They were brought here by their parents and have worked hard to overcome many obstacles in order to be successful in high school. Now they have the dream of going to college, but even though they have lived in Maryland for years and have gone to school alongside other Maryland residents, they are denied in-state tuition. This is nothing more than an example of lingering racism that we have yet to overcome"

"Yet the barrier that immigrant students face is a repeat of history. These students have the grades, they have the drive, they even live in Maryland and pay taxes. Why should they be denied In-State Tuition? It is time for our country to stop the racism and start thinking logically about how to repair our broken immigration system."

My tax money went to a group that used it to call me a racist for opposing in-state tuition for people who have broken our laws to live here.
