Thread: No tuition aid for illegal immigrants in Maryland

Letters to the Editor Friday, December 31, 2010; 9:16 PM

The issue of illegal immigration has been made unnecessarily complex by special-interest groups that have twisted and warped it into an anti-Hispanic vendetta. In reality, it is simply the desire to bring those who broke the law - by entering the United States illegally - to justice.

As the Dec. 30 Metro article "Md. to weigh own 'DREAM' tuition act" pointed out, Sen.-elect Roger P. Manno (D-Montgomery County) said, "We should give those folks every opportunity to succeed, to get an education and to live with dignity."

In short, the proposed law would reward those who have broken the law, not punish them. And their "opportunity to succeed" would be paid for by Maryland's legal residents, both by lost revenue from the adjustments in tuition and by fewer slots for admission to Maryland's state institutions.

Maryland is facing a $1.6 billion budget deficit. Montgomery County's budget deficit is $300 million. Yet some state legislators want to pass a law that would reduce the money flowing into the state's depleted coffers. If Maryland really has that kind of money to burn, maybe legislators should put it toward reducing the costs of college for Maryland's legal residents instead of showering criminals with our money.

We do not want illegals here. Deport them now.

Damn! it's actually happening! I can't believe it!

This is why we need to band enough states together to force the changes we need now before this crap spreads. Article 5 of the US Constitution gives a 38 state vote the right to new amendments bypassing congress and being unvetoable by the US President. These would be treated as federal law and pass down to all remaining states.


Amendment 14 to specify: Citizenship confered at birth is the legal citizenship of the mother.

Amendment 28: No US city, state, or federal government shall ever put the welfare of non legal residents of the US ahead or equal to that of US Citizens, such is a breach of oath of public service and punishable by impeachment up to charges of treason.

Amendment 29: In regards to illegal aliens. No US city, state, or federal government shall support projects or welfare to these individuals or groups. (could also add in for immigrants not yet recieved permanent status or naturlization citizenship.)
