AP Pushes "DREAM" Nightmare

Lonewacko points to a classic example of the PIIPP (pro-illegal immigration puff piece) churned out yesterday by AP.

It isn't enough that a foreign nation should be able to invade and colonize our country at will; American taxpayers must be forced to subsidize the invaders' college educations.

Have your hanky handy as you read the poignant stories of noble immigrants who happened to have been crossed by our borders and subsequently encounter slight difficulties in getting us to finance their college educations. "I was crushed," whimpered Matias Bernal, an illegal alien who had to "push aside Ivy League brochures" and settle for Cal State Fresno. "I refused to believe my education was going to stop," declared another illegal from Mexico, Nora Razon, who is saving $8,000 a year on her San Francisco State tuition, courtesy of American taxpayers.

To AP's delight, 10 states now allow students to pay in-state tuition, though they aren't even legal residents of the country, much less the state. Meanwhile American citizens from across the state line have to pay full fare. AP crows that "the majority of undocumented students in the United States can count on paying the same tuition as the citizens who sit next to them in class." Translated out of propagandese, this would read, "The majority of illegal aliens have most of their tuition paid for by Americans."

AP approvingly notes that California will soon join Texas among the states that grant state financial aid to illegal aliens — aid that will not be going to American students whose parents finance it with their taxes.

The "DREAM Act" (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act) would impose this outrageous moonbattery at a federal level, making any illegal alien who comes out of a U.S. high school eligible for in-state tuition and financial aid. Needless to say, AP likes the idea:

Some universities, including the University of California system, have publicly supported the measure, saying they are interested mainly in getting the best students they can, whatever their immigration status.

Translation:

Our fellow moonbats in academia like the DREAM Act too, because their main concern is in recruiting black and Hispanic students instead of whites and Asians, and they couldn't care less whether this is fair.
