Connecticut's Gov. Rell Has a Backbone. Kills Tuition Bill for Invaders
In an era where "We are the World" candy-asses spew their tripe about nationalism and patriotism being bad, evil, concepts and how we should be more like France, it's nice to know there are some Americans that care about this country and our laws.
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell vetoed a bill Tuesday that would have extended favorable in-state college tuition rates at Connecticut colleges and universities to children of illegal immigrants.
Rell said that while she is sympathetic to the plight of the students, they are living in the U.S. illegally and she does not want to encourage people to circumvent federal immigration laws.
"I understand these students are not responsible for their undocumented status, having come to the U.S. with their parents," Rell said in a written statement. "The fact remains, however, that these students and their parents are here illegally and neither sympathy nor good intentions can ameliorate that fact."
