RICHMOND -- Virginia Republicans announced legislation Wednesday that would prohibit public colleges and universities from accepting illegal immigrants even if they attended a public high school and were brought to the United States at an early age by their parents.
GOP leaders, who control both houses of the legislature, suggested that some Virginia residents are being denied access to college because too many illegal immigrants are taking available slots.
"If a legal Virginia resident is applying to schools, should they be admitted? Or should that slot be set aside for someone who has arrived here illegally?" asked James K. "Jay" O'Brien Jr. (R-Fairfax), the sponsor of the proposal.
The Republican proposal would also require city and county jails to check a defendant's immigration status and to have at least one person on duty who has been certified by the federal government to detain illegal immigrants until deportation proceedings. It would also routinely deny bail for illegal immigrants charged in a crime and suspend the business licenses of anyone convicted of hiring illegal immigrants.
All 140 seats in the General Assembly are on the ballot this fall...
Claire Guthrie Gastanaga, a lobbyist for immigrant organizations, said the GOP "is taking advantage of a public misconception about the facts" and "exploiting fear and ignorance."...
But the issue of denying a public college education to an illegal immigrant will probably be controversial...Under the GOP proposal, a public college such as Virginia Tech or George Mason University would have to prove an applicant is a legal resident or has a valid student visa...GOP leaders offered statistics showing that 36 percent of applicants to a four-year public college in Virginia were rejected last year....

Hillary Clinton is top-loadng her 2008 campaign with latinos. Raul Yzaguirre,
a radical La Raza operative, is on Hillary's staff as her "hispanic advisor."
LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (who abandoned his family to blank the
Telemundo chick, Mirthala) is Hillary's campaign co-chair.
LA Mayor Villaraigosa, Bill Clinton.
"Psst! Antonio. Could you give me the number of that Telemundo chick you been blanking?"
"Her cha chas belongs to me Beeley. Tell you what, you tell 'illary to
put me on da ticket, 'n I supply you wit hot latina babes up the kazoo."
What you are advocating is the Dream Act. Using your logic, we should grant amnesty to everyone who is here.
If you want these people to ASSIMILATE and BECOME AMERICANS, who speak English and lose their ties to other countries, then dont blanch at spending for the education which makes assimilation possible.
Why should we pay taxes to subsidize their education at a public/state university and take the places of qualified amcits? If they want to attend college, there are plenty of private institutions that will take them in with open arms without checking their status.
Otherwise, youre going to end up with a Quebec situation, which benefits nobody.
We are well on our way to that situation. In 1950, Hispanics comprised 1% of the population. By 2050, they will be 24.1% of the population. We are making accommodations to them rather than the other way around, e.g., ballots, ESL, driver's tests, etc. We even put the SS Trustee's Annual Report in Spanish
"The orientation of U.S. businesses to Hispanic customers means they increasingly need bilingual employees; therefore, bilingualism is affecting earnings. Bilingual police officers and firefighters in southwestern cities such as Phoenix and Las Vegas are paid more than those who only speak English. In Miami, one study found, families that spoke only Spanish had average incomes of $18,000; English-only families had average incomes of $32,000; and bilingual families averaged more than $50,000. For the first time in U.S. history, increasing numbers of Americans (particularly black Americans) will not be able to receive the jobs or the pay they would otherwise receive because they can speak to their fellow citizens only in English."
"In 1917, former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt said: We must have but one flag. We must also have but one language. That must be the language of the Declaration of Independence, of Washington's Farewell address, of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and second inaugural. By contrast, in June 2000, U.S. president Bill Clinton said, I hope very much that I'm the last president in American history who can't speak Spanish.
"And in May 2001, President Bush celebrated Mexico's Cinco de Mayo national holiday by inaugurating the practice of broadcasting the weekly presidential radio address to the American people in both English and Spanish. In September 2003, one of the first debates among the Democratic Party's presidential candidates also took place in both English and Spanish. Despite the opposition of large majorities of Americans, Spanish is joining the language of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, and the Kennedys as the language of the United States. If this trend continues, the cultural division between Hispanics and Anglos could replace the racial division between blacks and whites as the most serious cleavage in U.S. society."
“Va. Republican Bill Would Bar Illegal Immigrants From College”
Sounds like a good follow-up action for Gov. Blunt here in Missouri.
Seeing how he recently told Missouri law enforcement to check the
immigration status of anybody put in jail in Missouri.
LA Mayor Villaraigosa, Bill Clinton.
"Psst! Antonio. Man, I'm desperate. Got any latino babes I can blank?"
"Tells you wat, Beeley, if'n 'illary poots me on dee teecket, I feex you up wit
my seester. Shee one hot latina babe, Beeley. Ai likes to blank her myself."
How much more will legal citizens tolerate? It seems there is no end to the injustice, corruption, and subjugation the so-called system run by the black robes and their cronies will foist on the public.
Tolerance is frequently and publicly addressed in the old media. It is hammered down the throats of citizens on a daily basis. People have been trained, like dogs kicked to curb, to tolerate injustice, infanticide, group favortism, perversion, corruption in the courts, corruption in government, affirmative racism, and bigotry against Christians and all that is good and right. We do nothing while evil reigns.
They need to read the newspaper, figure out a reporter who might be sympathetic, call the reporter and create A HUGE STINK. Also, local radio call in programs. Attend school board meetings, REPEAT STINK, loudly, in public, in presence of education reporters. Do not mention Hispanics, just that there is no room for THEIR CHILD A BLOCK FROM THEIR HOME. Demand an answer, and a fix. Continue to stink, lather, rinse, repeat. In these cases, the squeaky, stinky wheel gets the grease. We must stand up for OUR OWN CHILDREN. Let me know what happens.
Angela,
As usual, my daughter works. She took a whole day off from work just to enroll her daughter.
She doesn’t have the time to make a stink.
That is why they get away with it.
School boards usually meet in the evening. One meeting, one stink, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
