I'm a fan of just about all of the referendums passed in the recent election, but I am absolutely baffled by one in Maryland:
The Maryland In-State Tuition Referendum, which allows illegal immigrants the ability to pay in-state tuition at Maryland colleges.
Why is it that we are trying to afford illegal immigrants benefits that citizens are denied?
Citizens are denied in-state tuition if they're Maryland residents?
I know why Texas does it, Your residency and immigration status have nothing to do with each other.I'm a fan of just about all of the referendums passed in the recent election, but I am absolutely baffled by one in Maryland:

Sorry, I looked,If you're too lazy to read up on it, I'm not going to break it down for you.

I read it...and I'm not seeing what rights this grants to illegal immigrants that Maryland residents who are citizens don't already have. And the fact that you got so hostile to a simple question indicates that you know perfectly well that what you said isn't true.
It's quite simple: The federal government, not the states, enforce immigration laws.
Does the illegal immigrant population constitute the "state full" term? I've just got this crazy notion that our government should be focusing on our citizens instead of someone else's.So from a state perspective, the question is would you rather have a state full of educated people or a state full of dummies?

Then why did you post a question that you already knew the answer to? Seems kind of silly doesn't it?
Giving special privileges to illegal immigrants that you do not afford to actual citizens of this country doesn't make a lick of sense.

Because illegals ****ing pay taxes too - especially those in Maryland where most of that income is deducted right off of your payroll.

Oh no, Maryland better watch out! Mexican immigrants are going to travel by the truckload 2000 miles to go to college. Come on, grow up. They still have to pay for it.

The legislation in question was approved by both houses of the Maryland General Assembly during the 2011 legislative session. Senate Bill 167 would allow undocumented immigrants to pay in-state or in-county tuition at Maryland colleges. However, in order to qualify students are required to have attended a Maryland high school for three years, as well as prove that their parents or themselves filed taxes. Initially, students that qualify would have to attend a community college. However, after two years, the students can transfer to a four year university. According to reports, the legislation is estimated to cost $3.5 million by 2016.
