Sorry Deval, illegal means illegal darn it!

A renewed push by Gov. Deval Patrick to allow in-state tuition for illegal immigrants is dead on arrival on Beacon Hill, some lawmakers predict.

The move could even hurt the governor’s ambitious plan to boost state education, said Rep. Kevin Murphy, co-chairman of the legislative Higher Education committee.

“All those good ideas could go down in flames because he’s included in-state tuition,” said the Lowell Democrat. “He obviously didn’t consult with the Legislature on this.”

Should be D.O.A.

This stance of pandering to illegals is ridiculous.... it would only be more obvious if they were actually trying to openly buy future votes with cash....

 

[Shogun]

seems to me that pandering to illegals is in direct conflict with that pesky little oath of office these politicians have to take.

 

[DiamondDave]

Does not matter to the party of no ideals... power seems to be all that is cared about

From the article:

While the state may lose money because they’re collecting lower rates, some estimates show a $ 2.5 million bump thanks to a larger number of illegal students attending state schools.

Which is true? How is college attendance in the great liberal oasis these days, full capacity or not?

 

[Shogun]

yes. full. without having to give the same opportunity to ILLEGAL MEXICANS who, apparently, are not content with those "jobs that Americans dont want" after all.



Mizzou stops taking applications
STLtoday - Mizzou stops taking applications


COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- With enrollment for the fall semester already at record levels, the University of Missouri-Columbia has decided to stop taking admissions applications from freshmen.

Already 5,860 freshmen have paid the initial enrollment deposit, which would be the largest freshmen class by more than 850 students.

Freshmen enrollment in the fall of last year was 5,027. The official enrollment, determined after the 20th day of classes, dropped by 45 to 4,982.

University officials set a 7 a.m. Monday deadline for accepting any more applications. The official campus application deadline was May 15, but the school traditionally ignores that deadline and reviews applications until the first day of class in August.

"We were still getting them in daily," said Mary Jo Banken, head of the Missouri News Bureau.

Chancellor Brady Deaton said it was in the best interest of the incoming class to stop accepting applications.

"We want to assure that every student receives the best possible educational experience at Mizzou," Deaton said in a prepared statement.

"With the decreasing state appropriations and with our rise in enrollment, our enrollment officials started looking at issues like classroom space, hiring faculty and housing," Banken said.

The large enrollment has already prompted the university to keep open a dormitory that had been scheduled to close. And the university is contracting with Campus View and Campus Lodge apartments to provide space for another 700 students.

"We're not calling it 'off-campus'; we're calling it 'extended campus,"' Banken said.

The apartments are about two to four miles from the campus center and students will be provided with free shuttle service.

Also, popular Freshman Interest Groups will be operated at the two apartment complexes, Banken said. The complexes will be known as Mizzou Quads at Campus View and Tiger Diggs at Campus Lodge.

University officials attribute the rise in applications to successful student recruitment practices, the academic reputation of the university, improvement in campus facilities and grounds, and increased recognition of Missouri because the football team's success last year.

Banken said any applications already received by the university and those in the computer system still will be evaluated.

"It those students qualify for admission, they will be accepted," she said.

I wasn't asking about your state, Shog.

Deval's state. What is the current enrollment at state colleges? Will they lose money by turning these people away or not lose money?

 

[Shogun]

Mizzou IS a state school.

do you think illegal aliens are just a problem in THAT state or something?



Besides, it really isn't a matter of "losing money" since we are talking about illegal aliens. But, given your "illegals that I hire are not my employees" routine im sure the law means very little to your quest to polish the illegal alien turd.

Shog, if you don't know the answer, just say so.

Ravi, if all you want to do is be purposefully obtuse then why ask any questions at all?
