The Massachusetts legislature–dominated by Democrats in that bluest of blue states–can’t stir itself to approve tuition breaks for the troops, while it can find time for giving tuition breaks to illegals.

This was a political decision which said "screw you" to our own soldiers. Illegal aliens, after they become naturalized (and,alas, sometimes even BEFORE that) vote 95% Democratic whereas only about 25-30% of our servicemen do. This is the bottom line. But what do expect from a state in which one of its Senators threw away his medals and the other threw away his girlfriend?

Its an illegal dies while undergoing a procedure from someone who has no medical licence up here (not sure about back in Brazil). The Doctor and his wife have been coming up here for the past several years to do these for cash. He and the wife came into the country on a temp work permit (who signed him in for that?). Did the job in another, most likely, illegal's home (how did they get that mortgage)with the home owner acting as a booking agent for the pretend doctor. Oh yeah, the dead girl was employed as a nanny/housekeeper for some couple in another town. I wonder if they took out withholdings for their illegal nanny/housekeeper? I think I know that answer. That will make someone's head blow. It is not just an illegal performing an illegal procedure.

I can't understand why in the hell everyone is cow towing to a bunch of fools who are law breakers. It's in both parties and it makes me sick.

It's funny how the dems don't get it. Even though most of the Soldiers I know are sick of deploying and God knows I'm sick of my husband being on his third tour, I know this, the troops still feel like the Republicans have their best interest at heart. Libs and Dems just give lip service and pat themselves on the back that they cottened to speak to one of the lowly people in the military.
