This oughta help the State
HARTFORD — Calling it an investment in Connecticut?s future, the state Senate Friday adopted a bill that will allow illegal immigrants to attend public colleges at in-state tuition rates.
If GOP Gov. M. Jodi Rell lets the legislation stand, Connecticut will become the 11th state to approve such a plan, which proponents argued was only fair for children brought her illegally by their parents, but who can contribute much to the economic health of Connecticut if the path to higher education is smoother.
A recent study found Connecticut is an aging state that will continue to be dependent on the influx of immigrants to offset low birth rates and fill jobs. The Pew Hispanic Centers estimates there could be up 100,000 illegal immigrants in Connecticut. [snip]
State Sen. Majority Leader Martin Looney, D- New Haven, said the students who will benefit “are as thoroughly American” as their classmates, many of whom have gone through Connecticut schools for 12 years. [snip]
In what gated community does Looney live? Does he have any kids in public schools?
We are coming to a time when all conservative and libertarians will need to get out of New England. Take their businesses and money and give it the Ward Bond shout.
After that, we need to fence it off and give it a big spritz of Raid. Follow that up with a DDT dusting to finish off the hardened pests.
Sterilization via the nuclear option is NOT considered bad form either.

Before any white liberal trash can say anything, I’m proud to be a RBSH. Putting it on my Sherman’s bumper.
These proposals always floor me. Legal, tax paying families subsidize Connecticut with billions of Federal dollars every year from all over the country, but the state is going to charge them full out-of-state rates. They should just end all in-state and out-of-state distinctions then.
Heh. UCONN. A lib diploma mill made respectable by sports. The school is about $16,000 per year, excluding board, books, and the staff graft that pays for the elbow-patch tweeds.
I’d say this bill caters to an entirely different class of illegals than, say, the ones coming through on Coyote Express.
The bill isn’t about illegals, it’s about the raw material necessary to feed the gigantic, ravenous maw of the Dune-like worm known as the CT education establishment.
Looney is, by the way, a liberal halfwit who never found a lefty cliche he didn’t like.
