Illegal alien admitted to a college - Legal resident turned away

Dear Sir,
 
 
Illegal aliens should not pay less for California colleges than American students from other states or military families. This amounts to preferential treatment for individuals outside the law.
For every illegal alien admitted to a college, US citizen or legal resident is turned away. This can not be viewed in the best interests of the United States or the State of California.

The 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act allows a state to provide subsidized, lower in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens,  if the state also provides the same low rate to U.S. citizens who are residents of other states. SB 1460 and AB 1413 do not comply with this requirement and would violate federal law. We already have a 'selective system' of law enforcement in the State of California. We, as a people do not need to add more to the corrupt system we already have.
 
 
Please consider how this effects the very foundation of our legal and moral/ethical system.
 
 
Thank you,
