Governor Patrick. I Don't Get It.

You do the right thing by signing an executive order aimed at illegals working on state contracts, but you support giving them tuition breaks. Make up your mind.

Governor Deval L. Patrick issued an executive order yesterday imposing penalties on contractors who hire undocumented workers for state projects.

 

Patrick's move has put immigrant advocates in a difficult position. The governor has generally been extremely supportive of their causes. He has been clear, for example, that children who enter the country illegally should be allowed to pay in-state tuition rates at state colleges. And on the campaign trail, he initially argued for the issuance of drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants (he now calls the issue moot because the federal Real ID Act will soon make it illegal for states to do so).
