Illegal Education

Did you know that if you graduate from High School in Ohio and plan to attend Harvard or M.I.T., you have to pay a whopping high out-of-state tuition but if Jose crosses the border illegally and settles in Massachusetts, his kids can go to Harvard for one-tenth of the price you pay. At least that’s what Democrats wanted to do. Fortunately, Republicans managed to defeat the bill. Why are Democrats everywhere so interested in rewarding people who break the law and enter the country illegally? Maybe it’s because they’re lawbreakers themselves (reference: Ted Kennedy, Chappaquiddick). Then again, it could be it’s because they’re just plain jerks ...

Massachusetts House Defeats Immigrant Tuition Bill

House lawmakers defeated a bill Wednesday that have would allowed undocumented immigrant students to pay the same in-state tuition at state colleges as Massachusetts residents.

The students and their supporters had argued that the children of illegal immigrants who have graduated from Massachusetts high schools should pay the same tuition as their classmates.

But opponents—including Gov. Mitt Romney and Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, both Republicans—said the state shouldn’t reward illegal immigration. The 96-57 defeat was a blow to the Democratic leadership in the House, which had pushed for the bill.

Undocumented immigrant students can become eligible for in-state tuition in nine states—California, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Washington, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
