Illegal Immigrant Privilege

Let's give illegal immigrants priority over out-of-state residents. Should the rights of illegal immigrants trump the rights of those of who live in a neighboring state? Common sense is escaping me..... How should I think?

BOSTON -- Setting the stage for a new fight over the rights of illegal immigrants in Massachusetts, the state Board of Higher Education looked at whether illegal immigrant students should be entitled to in-state tuition rates if they go to a state university.

NewsCenter 5's Amalia Barreda reported that the Massachusetts Taxpayers Association said between 400 and 600 illegal immigrants would go on to higher learning if the Legislature approved a bill making them eligible for in-state tuition at state schools.

With the escalating cost of higher education, would it be more afforadable to fly to Mexico, petition our southern friend for national status, skate across the border into Mass and then apply for in-state tuition? Justs askin.
