It's been too long since a post, so sorry about that readers.

So the recent sequestration has actually stopped the tuition assistance program active duty Army service members.

Well, what does this have to do with immigration? The Colorado House just gave approval to a bill that gives in-state tuition to 'illegal' immigrants. The bill was in the making for ten years though, far before 'sequestration' was  known. On its own I don't find a problem with that much. Having 'illegals' educated just means that they can contribute more to society. I am familiar with many of the negative stereotypes, so, who would actually want them to be as illiterate and uneducated as those stereotypes? If this group is unable to access education (especially in an age where it considered essential to have a bachelor's degree, regardless if it is or not) then we're practically repressing them.

Now, as someone familiar with Army personnel, I take a different stance. I just feel that the colorado House  may need some reordering in their priorities. Give in-state tuition to all vets maybe?  Sure, it can be argued vets already get enough assistance with collegiate level education, but really? Can't they at least get priority? The tuition assistance program is it unless someone counts the post-9/11 GI Bill, and that is only for after the service.

I am all for the former group to be educated and much more productive in America, but don't forget about the soldiers. We just had them roll through two wars.

Our country is in a huge amount of debt anyways, where is the money to fund this bill?
