Panel wants new rights for illegals
The Star-Ledger ^ | 3/31/2009 | Jeff Diamant

New Jersey's illegal immigrants should be allowed to pay in-state college tuition and obtain driver's licenses, a panel appointed by Gov. Jon Corzine recommended yesterday.

The 35-member commission, convened in 2007 to consider ways New Jersey can better integrate immigrants into society, also called for improving how government social service providers interact with non-English-speaking immigrants and instituting a moratorium on raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. .... Gayle Kesselman, co-chairwoman of New Jersey Citizens for Immigration Control, said that during one public hearing the panel conducted, a member of her group asked if anyone on the panel was in favor of enforcing immigration law.

"Not a single hand went up," she said.

Driver's licenses, in-state tuition, yes. No to ICE being notified for drunken driving and other offenses.

NJ residents oppose these measures by large margins. This 35 member panel has got to be as stacked by Corzine as his homosexual marriage panel was.

Time for Corzine and the RATs to be shown the exit. Wonder if NJ residents will wake up this time or put another far left in charge to ruin the state even more.

I can reach no other conclusion other than the government is actually spoiling for a violent uprising.

This isn’t enough reward for illegally entering the country. They should get free healthcare, no-document mortgages, zero interest car loans, free auto insurance, dental insurance, and complimentary Safeway rewards cards.

Don’t they see what is going on in California right now - A California representative can’t get his OWN kid into a California college with instate tuition - cause the kid lives with his dad in DC. This is just WRONG!

New Jersey politics are just as corrupt as Illinois and this proves it.

I have a feeling Obama will be changing some laws soon to end all deportations of illegals. Just IMO.

Yesterday I checked the In Custody list online in my local jail, 103 inmates and about 37 or 38 were on ICE holds.

With such laws in place, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON in the world for these “immigrants” to become part of our society and strive for CITIZENSHIP.
Once upon a time, being a CITIZEN of the USA was a thing of emotion and pride. REAL immigrants, having studied the workings of our country, having joined society, having begun the learning of the English language, proudly held up their CERTIFICATES OF CITIZENSHIP, many shedding a tear or two.
I remember, as a little kid, a man walking up our street, showing all the neighbors a piece of paper that enabled him to say ,”Now, I, too, am an AMERICAN”.
Now why bother...who cares.. what does it mean...just say “I am here...now give me what I demand as my RIGHT”.
I remind the voters...YOU voted for these clowns. Be happy.

Only half will be forced, the other half wants it and voted for it.

Well we have people here on Fr waxing about how legal immigrants bring so much. Like John Liu the IRS agent who got busted for not paying taxes. Or the local “immigrant” who employs illegal office cleaners that tries not to pay them. There is a pattern of recent “legal” immigrants exploiting illegals and none of them pay taxes but you pay for ti.

Or legal immigrants committing fraud. If someone comes from a culture where fraud and corruption are endemic, it’s practically immoral to blow an opportunity, because your victim is so stupid he deserves to be taken.

Who could be a more desirable immigrant than a medical professional, right? Like the immigrant (mostly Indian and Pakistani) doctors with the kickback no-show jobs at UMDNJ in return for bringing business. Not that UMDNJ didn’t have its own big city black pol cost of doing business corruption going on already.

Or my Haitian friend’s godfather the physical therapist who took the system for a million or so in fake visits.
