Is Colorado waking up from its bad dream? Next? Perhaps Denver will cease to be a sanctuary city in order to avoid the murder of any more people by illegals. Note how Romer managed to work "equity" into the title of the bill, despite the fact that is was anything but equitable to out-of-state students who are American citizens.

Yay!

After the way they screwed over that Republican Senator to get this out of committee, this is great news!

“it was anything but equitable to out-of-state students who are American citizens.”

I don’t know if the law has changed since I was assigned in Colorado Springs with the Air Force, but even active-duty military had to become state residents to qualify for in-state tuition.

It must be getting close to election time, no?

Well now, what happens when Illegals can't take advantage of the In-State tuition and scholarship program in States like Colorado?

They'll simply migrate to another State with more benefits to their liking.

What irritates me is that the legislature appears only to have voted it down (and barely) because of current economic issues. How about THEY’RE ILLEGAL??!?!?!!??

Tax Ritter didn’t want this on his desk before re-election.

“Is Colorado waking up from its bad dream?”

I hope so. It’s just crazy how Colorado could have gone so blue. You’d think that Colorado Springs could strongly influence the outcome in the GOP’s favor (being the HQ of Focus on the Family and a major USAF center).

In the town of Avon, Eagle. Edwards and Gypsum the “law” could clean out hundreds illegals is they had a spine! The Sunridge section and the trailer park near the elementary school in Avon absolutely crawls with illegals. The local “temp job’ centers will NOT e-verify!

Texas has been letting illegals pay in-state tuition for years. But students from OK or LA have to fork over the much more expensive out-of-state tuition. We are in the vanguard of stupidity.

Wish I could say Utah had the same sense. We’ve got in-state tuition here, among other things. But what do you expect with Governor Huntsman and our two Senators (Hatch, Bennett).

[Night Hides Not]

Democratic Sen. Joyce Foster invoked the Holocaust and appealed to senators' compassion.

It's obvious that this person didn't major in World History.

Looking back on my visits to the camps at Dachau and Flossenburg, the thought of in-state tuition for illegal aliens never crossed my mind.

How thoughtless of me!

[the long march]

Glad they dumped this. What these dolts seem to miss is that there HAS to be a law suit out there just waiting...something about equal protection. If I live in Georgia and want in state tuition in another state I am going to claim it IF illegals get it for ANY reason.

Ping!
