President Obama has promised without contradiction that if he wins the White House back, he will pass a blanket AMNESTY, a mass amnesty, a definite and negative Comprehensive Immigration Reform that will crucify the American job seekers to the majority of the 20 million or more illegal aliens. This will be unimaginable to the millions of working mums, dads who will pay for the illiterate, the people who come here illegally that taxpayers are financially supporting. Every day our hospitals are filling up with the sick people from around the world, for the price of a airline ticket or using guides to bring them through our borders. They are smuggled themselves into this land and taking advantage of our lenient laws. The U.S. courts demand we must care for every need, without ever paying one single penny into the pool.

Unless the TEA PARTY in the very near future exerts influence on state and federal policies, America will continue to sink like the ill fated HMS Titanic in a financial disaster. Some state voters have got smarter in outing Senators and Congress man across the board, replacing them with moderate Conservatives of the TEA PARTY leadership. Our country has being crippled by additional spending by the Democrats, but what should concern us is influence of the courts, namely the U.S. federal courts. For decades now state taxpayers have been forced to pay the way for illegal alien children, because there is a badly interpreted law, which makes every child of a foreign person the right to citizenship, if they can smuggle mostly unborn babies into our country. Originally it was that slaves after the Civil War could be granted citizenship. Not that any pregnant female could enter the jurisdiction of the United States and claim citizenship for their child? The highest court has never visited this law previously and either of political parties seemingly has ever entertained to vote on an amendment, so that only the children of one valid U.S. citizen have a right to claim citizenship. This is the origin of the DREAM ACT OBAMA EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE LAW, which has been simmering in silence for many decades. The cause and effect of children/ unborn fetuses smuggled across the border or on an international flight.

Our government does nothing about the birthright tourists, who come here and having delivered their baby here leave the country. Under the present law the child is entitled to a U.S. passport for future use. At a later date the parent or parents return with the child in tow, who is now eligible for a free education, free health and other services? At an even later date the U.S citizen can sponsor the immediate family members and this is yet another immigration issue called CHAIN Migration. This simple method of legal entry draws approximately 8.000 more people to the United States. However other than the birthright tourists as it so called, around 400 thousand pregnant women manage to wangle their way through borders or a port of entry, carrying a human seed in their body undetectable and become a massive financial cost on states and the federal government. The children grow up in America and the parents avail themselves of a child’s welfare payments, which accumulates into billions of dollars a year. This of course is the Origin of Dream Act children, which the illegal parents are entirely to blame and should be held accountable.

Across the country the majority of states are subject to this law, costing taxpayers’ unknown numbers of dollars annually, within the estimate of 113 billion and constantly rising. The example is the county of Los Angeles as in Year-end closing 2011 figures from the Department of Public Social Services reported that over $646 million in welfare and food stamp benefits were issued to illegal alien parents for their native-born children, announced Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. The $646.2 million consisted of $258 million in CalWORKs (welfare) and $388 million in Food Stamps) — a $21 million increase over the previous year. “With the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal aliens to this one County taxpayer exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” said Antonovich. “These costs do not include the hundreds of millions of dollars for education.” Even with these billions of dollars staring in the face of an America drained by the poverty stricken from other countries, the city council has given the go-ahead for driver’s licenses for people who criminally entered America and now collecting free health care, free education for their children and Section 8 cheap housing.

I think this is unfair they should have out of state tuition if thats not the case then I want in state tuition in other states. I read in one blog that said they didn't have a choice to be here in the states it was their parents choice, well I didn't have a choice to be born in a state that I didn't want to go to college to either, but am I complaining they better pay that out of state tuition and be happy, that they can even apply and go. They can take a loan out like everyone else.

This is a disgrace but not surprising for Montgomery CO and MD. I have been a life long time resident MC and am fully discussed at the idea of giving illegals benefits over true residences. Our country is going the way of the minorities and illegals. Am I missing something here their parents are illegal that makes the children illegal period!!!! What happened to taking of our own first. Montgomery Co is the worst, spending money we don not have for trips to other countries in the name of sister counties. Please all sane MD voters vote this down. Vote better immigration laws, illegal is illegal. Dems want convicts, illegals, all welfare people vote talk about stacking the deck. All these people are looking for is a free ride. No voting no instate tuition start real deportation reform IRS laws take back our country fire Obama WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. We have tried his way now lets go back to the right way of people earning their way no more gifts with money we do not have. Wake up US citizens vote Republican be strong vote out the trash take back what we have lost in the last 4 years. I am not saying Romney is the all answer but he cannot be as bad as Obama. Romney is Christian, business man, married to same WOMEN, all of the above none of witch Obama is. I am a retired US Marine and glad of it I would never recognize Obama as my Commander in chief. He is a commander in lies, deceit, deception, disorder all of the above that goes for his wife as well.
Note Both of these fakes have had to surrender their law degrees for some unknown reason not reviled like all the unknowns not reviled about the Obama family. They are sucking the country dry stop the blood letting.

Before you make up your mind about the DREAM Act, know that faith communities across MD have come together to support it.
Please inform yourself about it beyond casual or biased information being passed around. One resource: http://www.md-iaf.org/content/about-md-dream-act

The law allows qualifying children no special "breaks" (their classmates will have the same tuition with no conditions) and their are conditions for the undocumented that will make it hard for some to qualify. The children have done nothing illegal. Without the law they have to pay out-of-state tuition (3x normal). The conditions are that their parents prove they have paid state and federal taxes and have attended community college for two years, and have the grades to get into MD Univ. The law also allows military who are living in MD but are citizens of other states to pay in-state tuition..

The only reason this is coming up for a referendum is because more than 100,000 Marylanders across party lines signed a petition to stop the implementation of the bill that was pushed through the legislature.

As for these "kids" being law-abiding, no such thing. They're seeking an edge over legal foreign students and Americans from other states. Federal law requires that states that give educational benefits such as in-state tuition to illegal aliens must also give those same benefits to citizens of other states REGARDLESS OF RESIDENCY.

It is nice to know that someone with no right to be here gets to enjoy instate tuition, while legal residents and citizens who do not reside in Maryland do not. This is not showing charity to the poor, but a contempt for those foolish enough to play by the rules.

I hope the Maryland taxpayers have enough sense to vote this down. Giving these illegal aliens more education only makes it harder for American students to find a job. I hope if Romney gets elected, he will get our immigration laws enforced and get rid of these illegal aliens who have NO RIGHT to be in this country. obama is nothing but a DISGRACE for this deferred action for the illegal aliens
