Court Grants in-state-tuition to Illegals

[Lone Star State Sentinal]

A special message from:

In an astounding decision, the California Supreme Court ruled that ILLEGAL ALIENS CAN ATTEND COLLEGE IN CALIFORNIA paying In-State tuition rates-and U.S. CITIZENS ONE STATE AWAY CANNOT! If you are an illegal alien in California, you get to enjoy in-state tuition rates, while American citizens from other states do not. This ruling is a slap in the face to every law-abiding United States citizen, and AmeriPAC is determined to right this wrong. A lawsuit was filed in 2005 by a group of out-of-state U.S.-born students (42 students and their parents from 19 states) argued that a 2001 California law extending "undocumented illegals" the right to pay the same in-state tuition in California's public colleges and universities is unfair to both in-state and out-of-state college students. California is one of nine states that allow illegal aliens to pay in-state tuition rates. The class action suit argued that 60,000 out-of-state college and university students who are U.S. citizens, have illegally been forced to pay higher costs to attend California's public institutions of higher learning. The in-state cost to attend the University of California is $6,769. The out-of-state cost to attend the same classes is $24,589. Why the extreme difference? Because California taxpayers subsidize the education of their own children. Out-of-state students, not being legal California residents, are not entitled to that taxpayer-funded subsidy. NOR SHOULD ILLEGAL ALIENS who are not legal in any sense. AmeriPAC needs your support to right this wrong. Today AmericPAC is... If that isn't bad enough, here's the rest of it. When the plaintiffs in the original lawsuit asked the University of California, California State University and several community colleges in the State how many illegal aliens were enrolled as full time students, most said they did not keep records on that information. The University of California said they only had 407 "undocumented students" enrolled. In point of fact, California colleges and universities average 15,000 illegal alien students. Translated into real dollars, California taxpayers are digging a little deeper into their pockets than they realize. To educate illegal aliens each year, California taxpayers are coughing up $267,300,000.00 so that illegal aliens can pay in-state tuition rates. AmeriPAC needs your support to right this wrong. Today AmericPAC is... Think that's bad? Now, multiple this by the nine states which now offer illegal aliens in-state college tuition rates and you discover that taxpayers in nine States are digging into their pockets for 2 billion, three hundred ninty-five million, seven hundred thousand dollars so illegals can go to the colleges they wish their children could attend. (Sounds like a lot more money when you spell it out, doesn't it?) And, it makes you mad, doesn't it? If it doesn't, it should. Talk about taxation without representation. This is covert taxation that most citizen taxpayers in those States don't even realize they're paying. Most of them think the $6,769 each illegal pays in tuition costs covers the cost of their education. Most don't like the system, but since they think it isn't costing them anything, they shrug and go about their business. That's how social progressiveness works. Make the little lie work, and then expand it. But, before that lie gets so big it destroys all of us... AmeriPAC needs your support to right this wrong. Today AmericPAC is... Catch your breath and wait for the next shoe to drop. Get your adding machine back out. New York and Texas are also offering reduced tuition for illegals. It's almost like they're advertising for undocumented college grads to come there. Add to that, Massachusetts is pushing for the same thing. Trust me, this is only the beginning. It's just like dominos. Once they start to fall, you can't stop them. Here's the real reality we are facing. This stealth education program for illegals will not only grow into other States it will multiply once it does. Here's how. It's likely that the parent-student group that filed the original 2001 lawsuit in Yolo County Circuit Court in California will likely appeal the California Supreme Court decision to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. If the verdict is upheld, California's education giveaway spreads to Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington State. Let's imagine someone challenges the Texas giveway and it ends up in the 10th Circuit, and the State prevails. That decision impacts not only Texas but Louisiana and Mississippi. Are you starting to get the picture? And, as the practice spreads like a cancer, the taxpayers of the United States will be footing the bill.. AmeriPAC needs your support to right this wrong. Today AmericPAC is... California went "rogue" a long time, ago-and copycat states will follow-some willingly and others because they are affected by US Circuit Court of Appeals decisions. We need to stop the Pancho Villa raid on the American education system because if it continues, every State in the country will be affected. It may take assisting the current litigants to make sure they win at the appellate or Supreme Court level, or it may entail initiating our own action. Clearly the United States is not enforcing the rule of law. If they did, President Harry S. Truman's Federal Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which makes it a felony for any person, groups of people, businesses, corporations, advocacy groups or elected officials to assist illegal aliens.. If the United States refuses to enforce the rule of law, the taxpayers of America should not be forced to foot the bill. AmeriPAC feels obligated to step into fray and help those fighting this abuse of the taxpayers by offering the legal expertise to win this case on appeal and stop the nonsense that forces American families to foot the bill to educate those who steal into this country in the dead of night while the educations of their own children are compromised. Entering the United States illegally is a crime, and we shouldn't reward it. Nor should our children be penalized because they are natural born or naturalized citizens.
