Maryland officials have certified enough signatures to let voters decide whether to give undocumented immigrants in-state tuition breaks. Barring successful court challenges, the state’s version of the DREAM Act will be the first law sent to voters in 20 years.
Maryland’s version of the DREAM Act would more than halve tuition rates for undocumented immigrants at Maryland colleges and universities. For a four-year degree, the plan could cost the state $40,000 per student, and Maryland officials have estimated that hundreds of undocumented high school graduates would apply for the aid.
Opponents say they are on pace to turn in a combined 100,000 signatures by Thursday, even though state elections officials say they have certified most of the nearly 56,000 needed to suspend the law and send it to a statewide referendum in November 2012. The law had been scheduled to take effect Friday, but it has been suspended while officials await a final tally on the signatures.

I come from a family that has lived in America since the colonial days. I also think it's unfair, but sometimes we must sacrifice at the moment to help the future.

This is unfair to the American citizen who will not be getting the same break. Why do illegals get catered to when our own citizens need help?

Unfortunately, to Progressives "fair" and "equal" are mutually exclusive terms, only to be used when their agenda of destroying America is most advantageous to them.

America should be destroyed. So should every other nation on the planet. It is about time that we stopped dividing our single species by a multitude of imaginary lines drawn on a map. One species, One Planet, One Nation.
Those aren't exclusive to any one nation. Timothy McVeigh anyone?

In other words you want open borders? So if a murderer or pedophile or gang member or terrorists wants to come here that's ok? We have borders for a reason.
