House Heats Up Over Bill to Give Illegal Immigrants In-State Tuition - washingtonpost.com

In this piece an irrational Democrat Melvin L. Stukes becomes irrational and compares refusing citizen rights to Illegal Aliens, to being a black slave in the 19th century.  What a slap in the face to African Americans that can truly trace their ancestry to slaves.  What a cowardly and back handed way to "play the race card" in a way it should not be played.  It's interesting how "undocumented immigrants" as the article calls aliens who are here illegally have no problem documenting they have lived and worked in the state of Maryland for a time when it means getting discounted tuition rates.

"Do I need anyone to remind me of the mind-set that existed then and still exists today, that some people were considered three-fifths of a human being?" Stukes asked, his voice rising. "Are we still saying that some people are less than whole? I don't think so."
