And those states are doing it in direct contravention of federal law. In a new paper, Heritageâs Hans von Spakovsky and Charles Stimson explain that in 1996, Congress passedâand President Bill Clinton signed into lawâthe Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Under Section 1623 of the law, state colleges and universities are prohibited from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens âon the basis of residence within the Stateâ unless the same in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United States. âBy circumventing the requirements of § 1623 these states are violating federal law, and the legal arguments offered to justify such actions are untenable, no matter what other policy arguments are offered in their defense,â von Spakovsky and Stimson write. Which states are on the list? The offenders include California, Texas, New York, Utah, Washington, Oklahoma, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Maryland, and Connecticut. Despite these violations, the federal government is doing nothing about it, all while the Justice Department has brought action against Arizona and Alabama for assisting in the enforcement of federal immigration law..." It's not news but it does make my blood boil every time I hear about it.
We need a real Attorney General who will defend the laws of the United States and not just his and Obama's agenda. Holder needs to go and the laws of this country need to be defended and applied.
Roughly half of them, depending on which red/blue state map you use. And there are many differing maps. Wrong is wrong moron. I don't care who's "team" is doing it. It's still fucking wrong.
