Blatant, in-your-face corruption and Nazi tactics in MARYLAND occurring NOW

Blatant, in-your-face corruption and Nazi tactics in MARYLAND occurring NOW
The DREAM Act, granting in-state tuition and other special privileges to illegal aliens was defeated in Congress last year, but MD, a sanctuary state, was able to pass its own version (SB 167) in April. This was managed by intense lobbying from the far leftwing illegal [alien] advocate organization, CASA de Maryland -- which receives millions from the state -- and a blizzard of legislative contortions..Almost from the beginning, CASA activists and others have harassed petitioners wherever they set up. Here is a partial list of their tactics:

MD: Teachers Use Socialist Texbooks to Brainwash 3rd Graders to Accept Nanny-State Role of Govt.

MD: Teachers Use Socialist Texbooks to Brainwash 3rd Graders to Accept Nanny-State Role of Govt....Some Frederick County parents are upset over a third-grade textbook that they say promotes such ideas as government-sponsored child care and universal health care. The county’s Board of Education met Wednesday to discuss “Social Studies Alive! Our Community and Beyond,” a book the county has used since 2004 but has come under fire in recent months. The book examines culture, government and public service in the U.S. and other countries, but some parents have pointed to passages in the text they believe subtly promote foreign political systems while disparaging the U.S. “The entire slant of the book is you're getting used to the idea of government running your life,” said Cindy Rose, a parent who requested that the book be removed from the county's curriculum.

Maryland Certifies Nearly 50,000 Anti-DREAM Act Signatures

Maryland Certifies Nearly 50,000 Anti-DREAM Act Signatures... Opponents of the Maryland DREAM Act are one step closer to letting voters decide if illegal aliens should receive in-state tuition discounts when they attend colleges and universities in the state. On Wednesday, the State Board of Elections certified more than 47,000 petition signatures, leaving petition sponsors with little more than 8,000 signatures to collect by the June 30 deadline...DREAM Act opponents must submit the remaining petition signatures to the state board by June 30. If the required number (55,736) are submitted by that date, the new law will NOT go into effect. If signatures are certified, the issue will be presented to voters in November 2012.

HERE WE GO AGAIN...Sen. Dick Durbin Announces First-Ever Senate Hearing on the Dream Act

HERE WE GO AGAIN...Sen. Dick Durbin Announces First-Ever Senate Hearing on the Dream Act..Durbin (D-IL) announced today that he will chair the first-ever Senate hearing on the DREAM Act next Tuesday, June 28th, at 10:00 am ET. The hearing will be in room 226, of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. “I’ve been working on the DREAM Act for over ten years,” Durbin said. “In that time, it’s been reported out of committee by a large bipartisan margin, passed the House of Representatives, and received a bipartisan majority vote in the Senate, only to fall because of a filibuster. I’ll convene the first-ever Senate hearing on this bill next week to discuss how the DREAM Act will make our country stronger by giving undocumented students a chance to earn legal status if they came here as children, are long-term U.S. residents, have good moral character, and complete two years of college or military service in good standing.” Durbin will chair the hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security. The hearing will be webcast live on the Judicary Committee website.

Some Pennsylvania Legislators Want to Give In-State Tuition to Illegal Aliens..."A bill to be introduced in the state House today by Rep. Tony Payton, D-Phila., would . . . allow illegal aliens who were brought here as children by their parents and who have attended high school in the state to pay instate college tuition rates rather than higher, out-of-state rates," "Bob Dane, spokesman for the FAIR, a Washington-based group that seeks to stop illegal immigration, contended that state lawmakers' attempts to pass a DREAM Act-type bill 'is an amnesty bill disguised as an educational initiative.'"

GA: (HB87) Law could impact school enrollment

GA: (HB87) Law could impact school enrollment...Metro Atlanta school officials plan to closely monitor their enrollment figures over the summer now that Georgia’s tough new immigration enforcement law is about to take effect. The reason: Many illegal aliens could leave the state and pull their children out of public schools if opponents are unable to block the law in federal court. The immigration law is scheduled to take effect July 1. But a federal judge could rule as soon as Monday on a request by civil and immigrant rights groups to block the law. They argue the law is unconstitutional. State lawmakers deny that and predict the law will stand.

Morton Grove, IL: Islamic education on the rise in U.S., struggle for acceptance
"As-Salamu Alaikum! Good morning!" booms Habeeb Quadri, looking out over a sea of kids gathered in the gymnasium of the Muslim Community Center Full Time School. -- "As-Salamu Alaikum!" the students shout in reply, echoing the traditional Arabic greeting, "Peace be upon you."..estimated 240 to 250 private Islamic schools in the U.S. offering instruction to K-12 students. The increasing enrollment in these schools reflects the religion’s growing number of American followers and the desire of parents to shelter young Muslims from discrimination and discomfort they might encounter at public schools.

MD: Baltimore County Council members support illegal alien tuition petition

MD: Baltimore County Council members support illegal alien tuition petition...The majority of the Baltimore County Council plans to issue a statement as early as Thursday morning expressing support for the petition that seeks to halt a new state law giving discounted in-state tuition to illegal aliens..Republican David Marks said he has already signed the petition. Huff said he is "strongly opposed" to the bill and supports efforts to put the issue to a referendum. "I do feel it's going to have an economic impact on local jurisdictions," he said. "We depend on tuition to help fund our community colleges. Where they lack these funds, we then have to supplement, and in these very difficult economic times, tuition breaks to illegal aliens is NOT good or economical."

NC: Tensions flare over Folwell bill (HB744) on illegal aliens in schools

NC: Tensions flare over Folwell bill (HB744) on illegal aliens in schools...HB744 is titled the "Safe Students Act." It will still require school principals to get a birth certificate or other medical documents from new students, but it originally required principals to ask parents whether their child is a U.S. citizen. The bill said that information "shall be used only for fiscal analysis and shall not be used to deny admission to a child." Federal law requires public schools to accept students regardless of immigration status. N.C. Dream Team, a group of illegal aliens and mostly young activists whose unofficial slogan is "undocumented and unafraid," called Folwell and other bill sponsors "unprincipled cowards" (REALLY, American Taxpayers are cowards? We pay for your education but have NO right to know exactly how much is spent on YOU!)

In-state tuition bill (SB742) for illegal aliens dies in Oregon House

In-state tuition bill(SB742) for illegal aliens dies in Oregon House..The Oregon House will not have an up-or-down vote on a bill allowing in-state tuition rates for state university students, regardless of immigration status. A petition failed to obtain the signatures from 31 members — the majority required to pass a bill — by today's deadline. So SB742, heard by the House Rules Committee back on May 11 but never advanced, is likely to die there.

CA: Bill AB 131 on financial aid for Illegal Alien college students advances in CA Legislature

CA: Bill AB 131 on financial aid for Illegal Alien college students advances in CA Legislature...The state aid that illegal alien students could become eligible for would include Cal-Grants, institutional aid and fee waivers at publicly funded colleges. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed measures that would have provided the same privileges. Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) said his proposal, which passed the lower house, would help "children brought here through no choice of their own, who embrace our values and learn the language." Republicans voted en masse against the measure, AB 131, saying it would create an incentive for illegal aliens.
