Illegal aliens in Massachusetts want in-state tuition breaks reserved for, shockingly, only legal residents. The Boston Herald spins it a bit differently.

Today in the State House, dozens of children of undocumented Brazilians will rally for a bill they say could make their dreams of going to college a reality.

These students have to pay out-of-state tuition because of their immigration status, even though they have spent many years in the state. The difference in tuitions can be in the thousands of dollars and can put college out of reach.

“We have kids who go to school in the country from the first grade to high school, but when they’re ready to go to college, they can’t because it is too expensive to pay out-of-state tuition,'’ said Fausto Da Rocha, director of the Brazilian Immigration Center in Randolph.

How shockingly unfair.

Those who have followed the rules, waited in line, and come to this great country using the legal procedures put in place to facilitate such an opportunity, and those of us privileged enough to have been born here, have paid for the children of illegal aliens to go to school for twelve years for free. And now they are complaining that they’re not getting a cheap college education on the backs of these same law abiding taxpayers.

And it’s all just “because of their immigration status…” Amazing.

So today at the State House we will have many illegals rallying. Sounds like someone ought to call law enforcement and give ‘em a heads up.
