The law, signed this month by Gov. Martin OMalley (D), would allow illegal-immigrant students to pay the lower in-state rates at the states colleges and universities. To be eligible, students must have attended a Maryland high school for three years, provide proof that their parents are taxpayers and express their intent to become a citizen.
The law is slated to take effect in July, allowing students to qualify for in-state tuition rates at community colleges starting in the fall. But if opponents collect enough valid signatures, the law would be put on hold until the next general election, in November 2012.
One of the many reasons why Im thankful this is a Constitutional Republic and not a democracy; we are ruled by laws, not men, and men are incapable of ruling justly. This petition is evidence of that.

Sounds perfectly reasonable, the last thing we want is some uneducated sub-class. And these children were brought to the US illegally through no fault of their own the American judicial tradition does not allow children to be punished for the bad acts of their parents.

And there will be a lawsuit the supporters of the petition will lose. This is pointless and unnecessary.
