And will be let out shortly to kidnap again.

Only if it's a woman judge.

Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story headlined, “Justice Department Sues Virginia Over Tuition Aid for Unauthorized Immigrants.” In case it wasn’t clear, the sub-headline added, “The DOJ said the state’s policy of granting unauthorized immigrants in-state financial aid at public colleges and universities violates federal law.”

Put simply: the State of Virginia pays illegal immigrants’ tuition and gives them in-state rates. Yesterday, the DOJ filed suit to stop it. ...

The DOJ’s legal argument is simple. It argues that it is a constitutional violation of equal protection to provide illegals with in-state tuition and advantage foreign nationals over Americans from other states. The policies also violate various federal laws and regulations, which the DOJ argues should preempt contrary state laws like Virginia’s.

Democrats quoted for the story worried that the DOJ aims to overturn a 1982 Supreme Court case, Plyler v. Doe, in which the high court held that state governments must provide illegal immigrants with a free K-12 public school education. At the time, the New York Times still knew how to say “illegal alien” instead of using kooky and confusing euphemisms like “undocumented” and “unauthorized:”



It wasn’t immediately clear how the DOJ’s lawsuit against college tuition threatens Plyler v. Doe, but never mind. The takeaway is that the Trump Administration is now working to unwind almost 50 years of progressive “conventional wisdom” that illegal aliens residing in a state should enjoy the same public benefits available to citizens.

The problem with Democrats is not that they are ungenerous. The problem is that they are so generous with other people’s money.
