I mentioned this last time - how do you even get *ACCEPTED* into a Maryland school if you're illegal?

How is it that ILLEGALS get a benefit that not even people in Virginia, Delaware, DC or Pennsylvania get? Or any of the other states? How is it that ILLEGALS get a benefit that legitmate visitors on a student visa, do not get?

How do ILLEGALS get a benifit that military personel stationed in the state do not get?

The article says...

...illegals are treated as non-resident and therefore not eligible for the lower prices in state students recieve as a benefit of being legal residents.

In other words, they CAN go to to school in Maryland; they just have to pay the non-resident rates.

By that logic, Maryland should not have a resident benefit because the 'harm' done to illegals is exactly the same 'harm' done to anyone else, be they a New Yorker, Pennsylvanian or even, God forbid, from France.

We live in a world where unreasonable arguments are given time and energy that is thus not available for reasonable ones.

Further, the argument is, again, based on cost. Resident rates are presumed reasonable where as non-resident rates are presumed unreasonable. How far is to to arguing that illegals shouldn't even have to pay resident rates, or anything at all if the noble goal is equality, education and assimilation?

Why can't we have some reality shows and argue these things for fun and entertainment instead of the frustrating prospect of our tax dollars being consumed by silliness?

Well, get used to it because the MD legislature will certainly pass this bill and there's nothing we can do about it. We can say we won't vote for them, but most of us didn't vote for them in the first place, and the ones who DID vote for them are liberal nutties who *want* this bill to pass.

In the same sense why do they even need an education when it's illegal to hire them.

The stories that witnesses before the committee told seemed to move Delegate Ron George, R-Anne Arundel County, as well.

"I am a grandson of immigrants from Italy and I know the struggle they went through," he said. "I have it deep in my heart for how hard immigrants work when they come here."

Immigrants from Italy and other European nations in the late 1800's, early 1900's didn't come here illegally. The door was open to them then.


Arrgghhh! What idiots!

When we see stories like this, we (or I, anyway) immediately think of Mexican illegals. But this would apply to Islamic illegals as well. So some terrorist kid could be getting a degree on our dime.

Islamocrats. That has a nice ring to it.

They must think that Ellis Island crap was just the waiting area.

That has ALWAYS been my biggest beef with illegal immigration, although after that video I posted yesterday, I'm not so certain.

Where on earth do people have the brass to whine about our *ports* not being secure, but any schmuck can just sashay across the border without ID, and be given free medical?

I more or less already addressed this in another thread. Different subject, but same context.

In many ways it looks like a large group of our current government stands in intimate relation to Radical Islam.

I can't help but think there is an underlying purpose here. I really hope I'm wrong.

But on another note... How is it these illegals can even gain acceptance into a college with no verification of their education level, scholastic aptitude, etc... Yet my daughter, an American and MD resident had to jump through all sorts of academic hoops to qualify for entrance into any college? How many of these illegals will be granted entrance into a college while at the same time High School graduates, with excellent GPAs, but didn't score so well on SATs will be denied?

The MD legislature is making itself null and void. If you give benefits, to someone who is here illegally, you have condoned breaking the law. So the law is now worthless, as are all other laws, since one can't pick which to enforce, and which to flaunt.

Or a Social Security Number? Unless they stole one. And if I did something like that, they'd have me arrested.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying - how do they even gain admittance? They don't have transcripts - SSN's - GPA's - SAT scores - how are they getting in?

I think we know the answer. It's called appeasement!

I've never voted for a Democrat/Defeatocrat. I do this funny little thing that won't let me, think.

The next step is to gain voting rights for illegals. Guess who they're going to vote for?

This legislation is already being proposed in other states.

Seems "this funny little thing" was being done all over the country on election day.
