CT: State Congress Reps want IAs to pay in-state tuition
Felipe Reinoso, Martin Looney want illegal aliens to take college discounts from U.S. citizens (Connecticut)
Immigrant from Peru and Connecticut state Rep. Felipe Reinoso (D-Bridgeport) has introduced a bill that would let illegal aliens pay the in-state discounted rate for college educations in that state. Because college discounts and slots are a finite resource, this would have the impact of allowing illegal aliens to take those discounts and slots from U.S. citizens.
Their Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) is pushing a limited bill that would only cover community colleges, explicitly doing so as part of an incremental plan to cover all types of colleges.
Republican government Jodi Rell vetoed similar attempts last year.
[Looney says:] "It seemed to me that having the bill last year be vetoed, doing something that would be somewhat more incremental is a way to renew the debate on a more limited scale... ...I think the issue is still one of merit... These are, in fact, Connecticut's children, and many times these are children who all of their living memory is of life in Connecticut." Looney said he expected some people would oppose the bill and "demagogue on this issue," but he said he hoped there would be a practical way to find a solution for Connecticut students.

Ct has large Hispanic populations in the cities. Most of the cities support the illegal immigrant population here.
As to the towns, some do, some don't, some stay neutral.....
I have written before to my reps that I do not believe we should be educating them at the expense of our citizens. Will keep on doing that as well as letting them know I believe the state should enact some laws regarding illegal immigration.
I know my local reps are for the illegal population from remarks I have read, and the lack of replies to my concerns. I find their lack of replies disturbing, since, it shows me that they only concern themselves within their agreeable community.Locally we have for a state senator, a former NY district attorney, who moved here. We know NY is for the illegals as well.
