    Your Email: Students protested at the University of Maryland Monday to demand easier access to higher education and paths to citizenship for illegals.

    A number of former and present high school students, who are living in the U.S. illegally, rallied in support of legislation that would allow undocumented students living in Maryland to qualify for much more affordable in-state tuition rates.

    Under the current law, immigrants are considered out-of-state residents. "As of right now, I can't afford one credit to go to college," said high school graduate Jenifer Merando.Merando said her goal of attending the University of Maryland has been delayed. Instead of studying, she's working to make enough money to pay out of state rates. "Because I don't have that money one year has been wasted since I graduated," she said.

    Montgomery Blair High School student Manuel Flores said he just wants a chance to live the American dream."I love this country," he adds, "They want to really blur the lines between legal and illegal."

    Protester Susan Payne said people in this county illegally should not have the right to take slots away from in-state residents, "And why should they get an exemption because quote, 'their parents brought them here against their will, when they were young children.' Well their parents chose to willfully violate federal law."

    The legislation pending before the Maryland General Assembly has a number of qualifiers, like the illegal immigrant must graduate from a Maryland high school.

    Well if they give in-state tuition to illegal aliens they had better be prepared to give it to everyone because according to the 1996 "immigration Nationality act" it is the law...you give it to illegals you have to give it to citizen students from other states.

    If more people new that in the states where they do they could sue and demand a refund of the difference they paid for out of state tuition.

    Out of state residents--ILLEGAL immigrants are out of country residents.

    The legislation pending before the Maryland General Assembly has a number of qualifiers, like the illegal immigrant must graduate from a Maryland high school.
    How about two qualifiers:
    1. Legal state resident
    2. Legal U.S. resident

    "This is the lawmakers for lawbreakers rally," said Del. Patrick L. McDonough, a Baltimore County and Harford County Republican. "Essentially, they are supporting legislation that aids and abets illegal aliens."

    Illegal aliens have alot of nerve to ask for ANY STATE to provide in-state tuition rates!

    Where was ICE during this rally?
