Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day (so far)

Sit down and relax before reading this. Now, quietly digest the following sentence: If you are an illegal immigrant from Mexico you will pay $7,143 yearly tuition to attend UCLA but if you’re a taxpaying American citizen from Kansas you will pay $25,826 yearly tuition to attend that same university (Source: USA TODAY: “2006 College Tuition & Fees Survey”). That’s the difference between tuition for in-state residents and out-of-state residents in Kalifornia.

Why are people who are illegally in this country given lower tuition at taxpayer expense? You tell me. This is not right. In fact it is so “not right” that it isn’t even wrong. It is just patently absurd and borders on criminality. Yet it is law in Kalifornia and the courts have now upheld it.

Now let’s zip across the country to Washington, DC and see what federal law says about this:

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.

— Title 8, Chapter 14, Sec. 1623

That seems pretty clear and easy to understand, doesn’t it? Well, read the next-to-last paragraph in the story below and see what Judge Warriner had to say about the above federal law. The Kalifornia law is an insult to every American citizen and this judge’s ruling is a mockery of justice. It is also a violation of federal law.

When will this arrogant lunacy end? It will end when WE THE PEOPLE decide we have had enough and we hold our government accountable for these bullshit laws and asinine courts. The revolution is coming. Get ready ....

SAN DIEGO (NBC NEWS) - 6:52 am PDT October 12, 2006

A judge has upheld a state law allowing public colleges and universities to charge in-state fees to undocumented immigrants. The law was challenged by a class action lawsuit filed last December on behalf of out-of-state students who claimed the tuition break discriminated against U.S. citizens.

Out-of-state students pay higher rates than California residents in the state’s three-tiered higher education system—the University of California, the California State University and California community colleges. In the past, immigrants who didn’t have legal status as California residents faced out-of-state rates.

But a 2001 law allows nonresidents to pay in-state fees if they attended a California high school for at least three years and graduated from a California high school. Immigrants who are in the state illegally who apply for the tuition break must certify they are in the process of getting documentation or will do so as soon as they are eligible.

Among other things, plaintiffs in the lawsuit argued the law violates federal immigration reform legislation passed in 1996. But Superior Court Judge Thomas Warriner ruled last week there was no indication Congress intended the Immigration and Naturalization Act or any other federal statute cited by the plaintiffs to determine resident tuition rates at state universities and community colleges.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they will appeal the ruling.

Just in case you couldn’t afford to go to college and never took a course in US History, let me quote you something from an obscure 18th century document that very few people nowadays have ever read .... or understand ....

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

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

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
