California’s AB 540, for example, charges the instate rate to persons, regardless of immigration status or state of residence, who attended and graduated from high school in the state 2/

I don’t know the specifics of the TX or CO laws, but those that are properly written fully comply with 8 USC 1623 because they neither base the reduced tuition for which undocumented immigrants can qualify on residence in the state, nor do they exclude US citizens from qualifying. 1/

Birthday wishes for Linda Ronstadt are an excellent use of social media! If you haven’t already done so, watch The Sound of my Voice, a documentary of her life. Also, stream the 3rd episode of the first season of The Last of Us. Which is up there with the best episodes of any series in TV history.

Musk sees what he wants to see. “Y pluribus unum,” another way of saying multiculturalism, was incorporated into our great seal, and has bound us together since our founding. Not nationalism. Immigrants and slaves and their descendants built our nation and fought and died to bequeath it to us

Sad, but true, that the numbers his administration puts out at the end of the year may in fact be, as he says, “incredible,” which the dictionary defines as “impossible, or difficult, to believe.”

There’s actually a cute way to test what the vast majority of DC residents really want, “under their breath.” It’s called elections. The people of DC didn’t vote for your approach. Just admit that the hostile show of force you’re imposing on them is what *you* want.

Stephen Miller is such a warped little man. He thinks opposition to his destructive and hate-filled policies at a peaceful rally equates to "rebellion against the United States." He dislikes America, slanders immigrants, and is fomenting violence. Standing up to him is a patriotic act.

Stephen Miller post: "The Democratic Party is in open rebellion against the United States. Video of Rep. Jayapal chanting "free the immigrants that have been arrested ... end the ICE raids"

Political slogans aren’t programs and don’t have “merits.” They give the world a shorthand of who we are & what we want, like the title of a book or a profile cover photo. A bad slogan is easy for opponents to manipulate into a false caricature. A good one projects a deep & powerful truth

life, liberty, or property can be curtailed, precisely to prevent “mistakes” and abuse of authority. Due process protects us all from false, arbitrary, and unjust use of the government's awesome power against ordinary people.

Is this document real? It’s basically an argument against the entire American project, built on malicious lies. Garcia’s not MS13, he’s never been charged with a crime, he WON his immig case, and came here 14 yrs ago (so Biden didn’t “allow” him in). Our Constitution requires due process before

His “crime” literally is agreeing with a large percentage of American citizens, including a significant minority of US Jews www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/..., and petitioning the US government to change its policies. How can such a man be tolerated?

Please delete your snarling reply Rex. Aaron spends all day every day fighting to prevent horrors like that which has been inflicted on Mahmoud Khalil, and informing the rest of us so that we can act. What is your contribution?

His arrest may have been an “administrative error,” but when due process is denied it’s inevitable that innocents will be punished. And their failure to bring him back, despite what they have done to him, is a deliberate moral outrage.

A mess indeed. “Making it more difficult to be granted asylum” sounds so benign. Like you just have to fill out more forms. What’s actually at issue would block most people from making their case at all if they can’t do so immediately at the border, scared & alone www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/u...
