DemonRATS are just plain EVIL and STUPID.... but this is NY where they spit on veterans and anyone that wears a MAGA hat!
New York Assembly Democrats on Tuesday blocked a bill that proposed expanding college tuition aid for children of deceased and disabled military veterans after-- having a week earlier-- approved a state budget that set aside $27 million in college tuition aid for illegal immigrants.
The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 on Tuesday to shelve the bill, effectively quashing its chances of going to the floor, the
Post-Standard reported.
Glick said any expansion of college tuition aid to Gold Star families was
not within the state's budget and pointed to an already-existing program that provides
partial assistance to 145 students who are dependents of vets who served in combat zones, the
New York Post reported.
“Assemblywoman Glick should be ashamed of herself,” said State Sen. Robert Ortt, R-Niagara. “We set aside $27 million dollars for college for people that are here illegally. If you’re a child of a fallen soldier, you do not rank as high and you know that by the money.”
Mike Whyland, a spokesman for Assembly Democrats, said the Republican-led bill “would have expanded the eligibility beyond the scope and
should be considered within the context of the budget.”
So when illegal aliens need cash -- Democrats spend whatever they feel like. But when families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice need help -- suddenly they are fiscal conservatives?
When asked about objections by GOP lawmakers, he said: “It’s purely political and it’s unfortunate that they are using children as pawns.”
