Latest News » Immigration News: Illegal Immigrants in California Get Tuition Break (421 hits)
What is really going on in America. Illegal immigrants - that term seems to have no meaning. My daughter came into my room last wek , crying , saying " Her teacher told her she {my daughter} may not be attending her school next year because tuition was being raised from $26,000 to $32,000". When my daughter told me that , I hit the roof. My daughter attends a school for Gifted and Talented Kids . I sat down and wrote out a check for $50,000 to the school and told my daughter to take it to that teacher the next day . I told her to tell her teacher, My Daddy said , "He doesn't care if this school cost $100,000 a year , i'm attending and graduating from this school". Then I went down to school , had a meeting with the Powers to Be and blasted them out . Then today , I see where illegal immigrants are getting a tuition break. Some of these old judges needs to retire from the Judicial System. Felons can't get grants to go to school and better themselves but a illegal can . This nonsense has to stop some where.
Latest News » Immigration News: Illegal Immigrants in California Get Tuition Break News Immigration News: Illegal Immigrants in California Get Tuition BreakFont Size A A A Posted November 16, 2010 8:59 AM Immigration news continues to dominate national headlines, and on Monday, the news was out of the state of California - a hot bed for immigration discussions and legislation. The California Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday illegal aliens are eligible for in-state college tuition, not higher rates charged out-of-state students.
Justice Ming W. Chin in the court's opinion said California law, which guarantees lower tuition to those students who attend and graduate from high schools in the state, does not conflict with a federal ban against giving illegal immigrants educational benefits based on state residency.
The Los Angeles Times said California is one of several states that allow illegal immigrants lower college tuition when they graduate from state high schools. The newspaper said about 25,000 illegal aliens get in-state tuition rates in California.
An anti-illegal immigration group filed a lawsuit contending the California law violated the federal ban on giving educational benefits to illegal aliens, but not to all U.S. citizens, based on residency. The challenge was successful in a lower court, but the state appealed.
The Times said college students who are illegally in the United States are excluded from federal financial aid programs, and the U.S. Supreme Court is expected eventually to rule on whether the lower tuition rates also violate federal law.
I honestly don't understand your attempt to link your dgt's private school education with immigration. Are you or your dgt immigrants? Please help me to understand what the point of your blog is.

You probably do because it doesn't directly affect you . But to those of Us that are trying to rehabilitate our communities, this is a direct slap in the face. Don't be fooled into thinking the playing field is level. Our politicians want to help everyone but their own kind.Why would anyone want to concern themselves with someone elses community when their own communities are dilapidated and spiraling downward and out of control. But people like you Jen, sit in their sububan homes and try to analyze what the Real World is like and then offer an opinion. Is the same as people who throw money at the church and think they are entitled to GODS Favor.

Brother Cherry, Don't get personal. Stick to the issue at hand. Your dgt's tuition and immigration are two separate issues. I've earned whatever I have same as you. Birth right citizenship doesn't make you entitled nor does it make you the priviledged. I care about people and undocumented immigrants are humans same as you and me.

Their Human Rights are not being infringed upon. And Yes , Birth Right Citizenship makes me entitled, in accordance with the Law of the Land. My Daughters tuition raise verses lower tution for illegals is not fair. Maybe you're having a problem with the word " Illegal". Our American Problem is we open our doors to any and everyone. People want to hurt us , rob us , tear down our system and yet we are suppose to be friendly and smlie. C'mon now. One thing You will see and listen to me now and hear me later. The republicans will show Us how they feel about illegal immigration. Be Thankful for what You have because many people are hurting. Be Grateful that you live in a country that allows You to prosper. Just Be Grateful Jen, Be Grateful.
