I am writing my congressman to demand not one cent of my money goes to California to pay for education or pensions.

This is disgusting to the core, as they elevate those here illegally above American citizens.

[null and void]

So the mental gymnastics are you can live here and attend high school for three full years without being counted as a resident???

How is this Supreme Court Justice in California considered ‘conservative’?

[WOSG]

“[Updated at 10:29: The court observed that the state law also benefits U.S. citizens who reside in other states but attend and graduate from high school in California. “

So how exactly can one reside in say, Iowa, and attend a Cali High School??? Of course one cannot.

This was a ruling based on sophistry.

But you can’t have a US flag on your bike in school...

It seems to me (at a quick glance, admittedly) that the beef here would be with the California legislature, not the California Supreme Court, which is just following California law.

After all, we don't want the Court legislating from the bench, right?

“Never mind!” CA Supremes

Yet more nonsensical left-wing MADNESS from the land of fruits and nuts.

. . . a California law that guarantees the lower tuition for students who attend California high schools for at least three years and graduate does not conflict with a federal prohibition on giving illegal immigrants educational benefits based on residency.

And if the student attends for less than three years or goes three years and doesn't graduate, is he deported? (crickets)

Judicial sophistry.

“I am writing my congressman to demand not one cent of my money goes to California to pay for education or pensions.”

Best In Texas,

Instead of writing to your Congressman regarding a California law that grants in-state tuition for illegal aliens, you may want to start a bit closer to home by writing a letter to your member of the Texas Legislature regarding the Texas law that grants in-state tuition to illegal aliens.

“Texas awarded about $33.6 million in state and institutional financial aid to those students (Illegal Aliens) between fall 2004 and summer 2008.”

“In 2001, Texas became the first state in the country to pass an in-state tuition law. The law created a national movement. Many private universities also now award aid to illegal immigrant students.”

Just another nail in the coffin of a former great state....All conservatives are advised to leave.....

[RoadTest]

So far, California has shot itself in both feet, both hands and the stomach.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[Kickass Conservative]

Well, since the same Illegal Aliens already vote thanks to the Clinton Motor Voter Law (that does not verify the Citizenship of the person Registering to Vote BTW), no surprise here in good old Kaliforny.

We've gone from the Golden State to the Welfare State in record time. Hard to believe that Ronaldus Maximus Reaganus was once our Governor.

From the article:
********************************************************************
College students who are in the country illegally are barred from government financial-aid programs. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected eventually to decide whether the lower tuition rates also violate federal law.

[Updated at 10:29: The court observed that the state law also benefits U.S. citizens who reside in other states but attend and graduate from high school in California.

“It cannot be the case that states may never give a benefit to unlawful aliens without giving the same benefit to all American citizens,” Chin wrote.]

Wait, is Mexico another state? When did it join the Union?

People have said this before:

If they want American citizenship so very badly, there’s a way to arrange it. We can add a few more stars to our flag.
