Cuomo wants to let Dreamers go to college for free

[Madmallard]

Gov. Cuomo wants to give another break to immigrant Dreamers by extending free public college tuition to students who were brought into to the United States illegally as kids.

Cuomo tucked a provision in his $168 billion budget plan that would amend state education law to make the undocumented students eligible for the Excelsior Scholarship program, which covers tuition costs for students from families with incomes of up to $125,000.

On Tuesday, he said the state would continue providing Medicaid to Dreamers regardless of any federal changes to the Deferred Action Childhood Arrival Program, or DACA.

But Republicans in the state Senate said they won’t go along with Cuomo’s latest idea.

“We don’t support giving free college tuition to people who are here illegally,” said Senate GOP spokesman Scott Reif.

Why not? The worse the crime the more free shit we need to give them.

Doesn't it seem to be that way? I mean, I never got an Excelsior scholarship and I'm a 100% legal NYS/US resident. My mom and dad worked their whole lives and made "too much money" to qualify. Isn't it amazing that we seem to reward laziness and ineptitude and not hard work?

Don't you know? It's racist to not give free stuff to the lazy and inept. They didn't choose to be that way, it's not their fault.

If he starts using our money to allow non-citizens of this state to go to college for free... then there's no doubt we're living under a tyrant who believes he he can thieve, and do, whatever he wants.

 

[Defilade]

Prime example of stealing people's money. And for Illegals! It's doesn't get any more twilight zone than that in today's world.

 

[GOPerfect]

I think it is past due for the Federal Government to step in and do some serious work in NY.

What about my student loan debt? I was born here and should come first. I deserve first dibs at mooching off of other tax payers.

620 billion in the budget for "entitlements"...

They don't care about people born here, because they mostly know how fucked up the state is and likely will move. They care about illegals and metro liberals so they can get their votes.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Can't wait till one of them takes Andy's job.

 

[Marine Cpl]

What if I renounce my citizenship? Can I go for free?

That depends. Colleges normally have a sophisticated system to determine if you're eligible for benefits.

if you do that you’ll loose your guns. I know your just kidding

Last week the state was in debt for a bazillion dollars. So just run the bill up some more... WTF !

It's called trickle down bankruptcy...the furher's newest idea

 

[kgun12]

It's time for you all to follow California's lead and separate from the liberal nut jobs, seriously!

 

[Burzum]

Just remember if you are a: straight, white, male, US citizen, then you are public enemy #1 to the Democrats/Liberals.

 

[Mosinitis]

What is NY GOP doing about this besides playing politics? All politicians in this state suck ass. Democrats are just more honest about it. Genital crab who is leading NY GOP is no better than Cuomo. Both can go and fuck themselves.

 

[Cooolone]

I have no problem with it... As long as I can forward to the State the $100,000.00 bill I paid for my kids to go to college...

Fair is fair! No?

I mean I'm not a liability to the State, pay more than I receive from it. Am a contributing law abiding member of society... How do I figure to be treated less than a criminal who's migrated to the State, pays no taxes, and is nothing other than a financial drain on resources and leech who would wither on the vine if not for handouts? It's just nuts!
