RAP: On Tuesday, representatives in the Tennessee State Legislature denied a proposed law that would have granted thousands of illegal immigrants in-state tuition rates to the University of Tennessee school system.
By a vote of 6-7, the legislature failed to approve a proposal that would have granted in-state tuition rates to non-resident illegal alien students who were currently living in Tennessee and met three requirements.
First, the students must have attended a Tennessee high school or GED equivalent for at least two years. Second, the students would need to graduate with a high school Diploma or GED equivalent. Third, the students would need to enroll at at state institution in the UT system to receive the discounted rate.
Supporters of the bill argued that by failing to approve this bill, the Tennessee legislators were denying students the right to pursue higher education.
“I’m a Knoxvillian and a Tennessean,”said Karla Meza Cruz, an illegal alien from Knoxville who testified in favor of the bill. “Since I was five years old, I’ve driven by UT hoping I’d one day be able to enroll. I can’t understand why the legislature won’t let me pay my pay to go to college and follow my dreams.”
“I’m a Knoxvillian…”
Yes, you’re an illegal ‘villian’ Snidely Latigazo. GTFO.
The only thing we need to do with illegals is to deport as many of them asap, and keep going until they all are gone.
How does giving illegals ANYTHING other than a boot out the door make any sense?
If you want to “follow your dreams” honey, the only thing you should be applying for is citizenship. And if you don’t want to do that, WE. OWE. YOU. NOTHING.
What is saddest of all, is that some legislators, educators and administrators fail to grasp the meaning of “in state”.
I thought they were doing jobs that Americans won’t do. Do colleges offer degrees in picking fruit or scrubbing toilets?
She said “Since I was five years old, I’ve driven by UT hoping I’d one day be able to enroll.”
Add Driving w/o a license and general stupidity to her other offenses!
Next they need to fully defund the ‘gender and ethnic studies’ departments at all of their State universities, and fire all the departments’ professors and staff.

I starting to get fed up with this entitled mentality. Would little Chiquita allow us Gringos to come on down to MExicco and grab some freebies?
