Latino and immigrant-rights organizations criticized the Virginia attorney general today for issuing a directive that warns the state's public colleges not to enroll undocumented immigrants – and to report those on campus to federal authorities...

How long until Bush's Justice Dept. tells Mr. Kilgore to "knock it off":?

Let the AG know how he's doing:Attorney General Kilgore

[Carry_Okie]

Plonk!

[Siobhan]

Hats off to AG Kilgore!!!

[concerned about politics]

Finally! Someone who noticed the word "illegal" in "illegal alien."

It's about time!

A good "thank you" mail freep would be nice.

[Howlin]

public colleges not to enroll undocumented immigrants

I don't mean to be plumb ignorant here, but can they enroll undocumented aliens? I remember the hoops we had to jump through to get my daughter in two different universities. I didn't know if you were "undocumented" they'd just say "oh, that's ok, honey." Would have saved us a lot of trouble. Maybe they just pick on people who are obviously American. Geez.

Email supporting AG Kilgore sent.

[concerned about politics]

Let the AG know how he's doing

Yep. I sent a very nice thank you for a job well done.:-)

[RodgerD]

my message to the AG:

Dear Attorney General Kilgore:

Thank you for your strong efforts on behalf of US citizen students and their families.

You are absolutely correct to demand that tax-payers not be forced to subsidize illegal aliens and other law-breakers.

Sincerely,

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Attorney General Kilgore vs. the Immigrantistas--Round I.

Colleges telling some students they must register with INS

[RodgerD]

They shouldn't be able to but they do. The University of California, I think, has some sort of don't-ask-don't tell practice in place.
This, despite new reporting rules for foreign students in the wake of the 9-11 Arab Terrorist Attacks. Of course these new rules apply only to those on legal F-1 Student visas.

[janetgreen]

E-mail sent telling him he has supporters in California.

[RodgerD]

Good find. I like this part:

It's an effort to get a message from the federal government to certain foreign students, researchers, employees and visitors from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria: Report to the nearest INS district office by Dec. 16 or face possible deportation.

However: 9-11 Terrorist's countries of nationality: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Lebanon.

"We say in this country that if you work hard you should be able to achieve the American Dream," said Tisha Tallman, regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund...

Or at least if you climb fences, wade streams, hide in vehicles, or overstay visas well.

[Man of the Right]

The failure to confront the danger that faces America is the reason more devastating blows than 9-11 lay ahead.

[rintense]

Kilgore is right.

[lsee]

Kilgore was here?

[montag813]

In recent years, a few states – including New York, California and Texas – have moved in the other direction, not only allowing undocumented students to enroll in public colleges but also granting them in-state tuition. And a bill introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) would encourage other states to do the same.

Do you agree with Senator Hatch on this madness? If not let him know. WE VOTE, dammit, and WE ARE MAD AS HELL, Hatch!
