S.729 /H.R.1751 The U.S. College Board has stayed out of the debate about in-state tuition for illegal aliens, until now. The Board, which consists of 5,000 colleges and universities, is urging Congress to allow states to offer in-state rates to illegal aliens and provide a path to citizenship.

Four states have passed legislation prohibiting illegal aliens from obtaining the lower rates, and most states follow federal law that stipulates that states cannot offer lower rates to illegal aliens than they offer to out-of-state students.

The DREAM Act, which offers amnesty to illegal aliens brought into the country by their parents and who graduated from U.S. high schools, has been proposed in both the House and Senate.

"This is a new area for us, but it was an easy call," said Thomas W. Rudin, a senior vice president for the College Board.

According to an Associated Press report, the College Board found that about 360,000 illegal aliens could qualify for the tuition aid with another 715,000 between the ages of 5-17 that could also benefit if they finish high school. They also state that states that offer tuition aid to illegal aliens saw an increase in college revenues.

It's always about money; it's never about what's best for Americans and the quality of American life.

We should be able to look to our elected officials for a defense of the national interest. Unfortunately Open Borders Republicans and Nose Counting Democrats have abandoned their responsibility.

If the DREAM Act passes, come September the media will be filled with images of joyful illegals going off to college. The media will also be filled with images of unemployed former auto workers whose children are scrambling to help keep a roof over their families' heads.

360,000 illegal aliens competing with innocent American families that are having to give up on many of their college dreams in this environment?

These people are either crazy or they are attacking America from within!

W, they're just doing what comes naturally - acting in their own self-interests.

The problem is that so few people in public life - and none of the people at the very top - are even thinking about Americans First. If putting Americans first in this magnificent country ever again becomes a national priority, it'll be because that policy came from the bottom up. We have allies in Congress and in the states, but without constant pressure from the bottom up, it's a lost cause.
