IL Democrats pass bill allowing undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at public universities – WAND (Decatur)

The Justice Department said Illinois unconstitutionally discriminates against US citizens who are not afforded the same reduced tuition rates or scholarships. "We lose 50% of our students already; it's actually slightly above 50%, to out-of-state colleges and universities," said Sen. Jason Plummer (R-Edwardsville). "Legislation like this will only increase that number. It will push more of our young minds to other states."

Actually surprised that they aren’t offering free college to illegals. It’s the Democrat way – support illegals and criminals – ignore citizens and victims.

These immigrants are the new face of Illinois. Best to educate them so Illinois has a chance. Many college students go out of state and NEVER come back for good reason.

Just once I would like IL Democrats to represent and be for IL US legal citizens over illegals and criminals. Illegals shouldn’t get any assistance to attend college, since taxpayers fund it

This may be cold…but I do not care what the numbers say, loss of 50% of this or that… or what the measurable impact is, this is just wrong.

When they become an American Citizen and pledge allegiance to this country…then they have access.

lol-if you followed the news you would know that this is a daily occurrence from the trump administration. it seems that some people are only interested in the constitution when it aligns with their own political beliefs and cry fowl when rulings decide that it does not.

Just so that you have an accurate understanding of unconstitutional daily occurrences from the Trump administration, nearly all of the #RESISTANCE district court rulings against Trump come from one of six districts, including DC, California, and along the east coast. AND THEN they nearly all get overturned by the Appellate Court or the Supreme Court. Trump’s record overturning the *rogue* Biden judges with Star Wars names would be almost 100% if not for the tariff case. So it’s extremely *wrong* for you to say that Trump is acting unconstitutionally it’s actually the rogue judges with Star Wars names in a… Read more »

Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon on AM560: Why We Need to “Relentlessly” Make the Blue State-Red State Case

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
