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.

What good does it do to provide illegals with a cheap or free education? How will they utilize that education in the marketplace when, as illegals, they cannot get legal social security cards? I really wish that someone would answer this question.

In Obama’s America, the non-citizens and the takers have rights, while productive citizens have a duty to pay for them.

Just a taste:

5. Affordable Housing
5.1 Immigrants, regardless of their
status, should be assured that they
are entitled to seek and obtain
housing assistance of any city agency
without having to disclose their
immigration status. Literature printed
by municipalities about housing
should be published in the languages
of the citizens in the community.
This may mean more than just
printing in English and Spanish.
Some communities are populated by
persons who are from French
speaking Caribbean countries such as
Haiti, Eastern European countries
such as Croatia, and Asian
communities such as Bangladesh and
Pakistan. According to SAALT
(“South Asian American Leading
Together”), nearly one fifth of the
Bangladeshis in New Jersey live in
poverty.

Raybbr, you hit the nail on the head with that excerpt. Liberals want to be blindfolded to the illegal status of these aliens (and enclaves of them) while sucking up to their every perceived need or grievance. On our dime.

Rather than propose a program (while they’re spending our money) to promote English the liberals whine that we’re not doing enough to communicate in the languages these unwanted converse in while topping it all off how the Bangladeshis are living in poverty.

Former Bangladesh persons living in America’s version of poverty would surely strangle liberal idiots who don’t comprehend sharing water with multitudes of strangers, routinely live without hope and enjoy a rat stew when they can get it.
