Md. Senators Pass Immigrant In-State Tuition Bill

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Maryland senators have passed the bill that gives an in-state tuition break to undocumented students.

The bill, passed in a 27-20 vote Monday night, still must be approved by the House of Delegates before going to Gov. Martin O'Malley, who has said he would sign it.

During debate, Sen. Victor Ramirez, the bill sponsor who immigrated legally as a child from El Salvador, told opponents that voting against the bill would not solve problems relating to people living illegally in the state. He said the legislation was needed to help people who live here reach their potential and contribute as much as possible to the state.

"It's about education," Ramirez, D-Prince George's, said. "It's not about immigration."

The financial implications for students are significant. In-state tuition is $8,416 annually, and out-of-state students pay $24,831 a year. "I think this sends a terrible message to everyone in the state that you can break the law and you can get a benefit."

“Harboring” is defined by USC 8 as any conduct that facilitates an immigrant to remain in the United States illegally. It’s a felony that carries a five year sentence. Due to the expanded RICO act of 1996, violators can be sued in Civil Court by Private Citizens.

That would take a miracle. MD is too full of hardcore Dem voters. They will sink into an abyss like Detroit and even then won’t change their ways.

They are still in the same position before school and will be in the same position after after school.

Except that they will have a heightened sense of entitlement.

MD might have misused tax-exempt education bond revenue. Maybe illegal transfers of tax-exempt funds? Maybe duped tax-exempt investors about the uses of education bond revenue?.

CONTACT: The SEC and the IRS should be notified about misue of tax-exempt revenue which may have funded the commission of state and federal lawbreaking (a felony).

CONTACT THE SEC EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov

PHONE THE IRS TOLL FREE 1-800-829-0433 You may remain anonymous if you wish.

“On the other hand, at least they are not Muslims.”

I bet Europe wishes they had imported Mexicans instead of muzzies to do the work Europeans didn’t want to do ... we wish they had too.

Laws” like this one are turning America into a public park, and not a nation

Elected officials - ALL OF THEM - have come to view their state or the nation as private property they can damn well do anything they want with. The only time they pay attention to us is before elections.

The ONLY solution is Term Limits and G.R.I.P. - Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians unless they give us a pretty damn good reason not to.

The jackass governor of CT wants to add this expense to a budget that’s already in the hole billions of dollars. He should be thrown out of office for even thinking the CT taxpayer should pay for this.

“Md. Senators Pass Immigrant In-State Tuition Bill”

A fine example of what happens when there is an infestation of RATS in government. And yet, the morons in MD. will continue to vote them in.

THis is incremental amnesty

That's exactly what this is.

AND it is unconstitutional discrimination against citizens of the United States, since a citizen from another state will now be discriminated against in favor of not just a legal immigrant, but in fact someone who is here illegally and refuses to comply with the law and go home.

But we're supposed to comply with this law and give them a freebie?

Isn’t there a federal law that is supposed to cut off federal funds to state schools that allow in-state tuition for illegal aliens?
