Undocumented immigrant students in Tennessee rally for in-state tuition bill

NASHVILLE — Dozens of undocumented immigrant students from Chattanooga and other parts of Tennessee rallied Tuesday at the state Legislature and spoke with House members in hopes of reviving stalled legislation that would let them pay in-state tuition rates to attend public colleges and universities.

The bill failed last year in the House by a single vote after passing the Senate overwhelmingly.

Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, who sponsored the Senate bill and passed it overwhelmingly last year, said, "I'm hoping they bring it out. Let's have a vote one way or the other."

Earlier this year, Gardenhire said he was concerned the House bill could face more problems due to anti-immigrant sentiment stirred up by GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Wonder if they paid state income taxes. If no, then go pound sand.

“I’m proud I’m going to take a job as an educator/lawyer/U.S. marshal instead of an American getting that job! And I’m demanding in-state tuition to train to do it. Oh, Americans in other states don’t get in-state tuition? Haven’t you figured out we think Americans just don’t matter?”

They are from another culture. One that is uncivilized compared to our own and they bring it with them.

They are not entitled to a say. If they are their say is not hospitable to any of us who have one cent more than they do because it is their intent to take all they can.

Choice one: Live in crushing poverty and ignorance and try to change it.

Choice two: Go to a better place where you are given more than you already have.

If you get a vote which would you choose? Giving these people any say at all is the same as giving them the keys to your house. They will take all they can for as long as they can and that will be until your house is empty and destroyed.

They have been given the keys to the house already. They assemble with no fear of retribution at all.

In my world they would be gunned down as invaders. You really would not have to kill that many to stop the invasion. Of course I am being ridiculous but only because it will not happen.

Border check points are just to harass legal citizens. Nothing more. They are a farce.

These people in this picture have absolutely no fear of deportation or consequence to their lawlessness.

They would be gunned down in Mexico. They fear their government there but they have NO fear of the one here where they should also be gunned down.

Future lawyer my ass.

Es, OK is their answer for every flaming screw up they make.

An equally foolish question, why aren’t these considered as invaders and gunned down?

With all respect, Are you freakin’ nuts?

NOBODY who takes benefits contributes enough tax revenue to pay for it.... if they had any damn money they would not need benefits!

IF you work and pay taxes the money they get comes from you! At least part of it.

they have been brainwashed and guilted into submission.

They have had a lifetime of conditioning to believe in globull warming, white privilege and destruction of the earth and whatever else the left uses as an agenda for control.

“I’ll be SO glad when president Trump kicks all those Chatanoogans out of this country ! ! ! “

That’s the problem, we’re waiting for a White Knight to come and save us. We have been invaded. We only need to trace the problem back to the source. Who is funding this continual agitation? What organizations are behind this? They hate White America and want us to disappear. Who will support them then?

FRiend, it is IRREVERSIBLE now. It may only be delayed if a rat does not win in November.

Only civil war will reverse what is taking place and only one side can win. Which one it is, is up for grabs.

What common cause does the side to preserve the Republic rally behind?

The side who would destroy the Republic have their causes, equality by their definition that is taking what you have not only to the point of equality but to the point you have nothing. Democracy eventually results in larceny.

I couldn’t get through 10 minutes of the noah’s ark movie last year.

it’s basically a mob of looters, but they want the government to do the work of looting for them and hand them the booty

Perfect time to pick them up and haul them away. They’re all in one spot.

Skipping your question about whether I’m freakin’ nuts, I’d say that the entire population of a state will collectively take out no more money than they put in.

So, are the Italians, the Blacks, the Indians, the Muslims, the Whites, the legal Hispanics, the illegal Hispanics, paying in as much as they get out? Those that aren’t are being propped up by those that are.

Your statement “NOBODY who takes benefits contributes enough tax revenue to pay for it” cannot be truem
