Judge Upholds In-State Tuition For Illegal Immigrants.
A California judge has upheld a state law allowing public colleges and universities to charge in-state fees to undocumented immigrants. The law was challenged by a class action lawsuit filed last December on behalf of out-of-state students who claimed the tuition break discriminated against U.S. citizens.
Among other things, plaintiffs in the lawsuit argued the law violates federal immigration reform legislation passed in 1996. But Superior Court Judge Thomas Warriner ruled last week there was no indication Congress intended the Immigration and Naturalization Act or any other federal statute cited by the plaintiffs to determine resident tuition rates at state universities and community colleges.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they will appeal the ruling.
The Skipper over at the Barking Moonbat adds this footnote to the judge's tyrannical ruling:
Just in case you couldn’t afford to go to college and never took a course in US History, let me quote you something from an obscure 18th century document that very few people nowadays have ever read .... or understand ....
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
And, no, they weren't refering to the U.N.
