Under the bill sponsored by Senator Angela Giron, those students would pay more than the in-state rate of tuition, but less than the nonresident rate that currently applies to them. Colleges would have the option not to offer the third rate of tuition.

Commentary From the Council: April 2012

Posted on April 23, 2012 by US Border Security Council Admin

We are fighting hard!  Our new Americans First! Pledge program is one of the most ambitious grassroots lobbying efforts the U.S. Border Security Council has ever undertaken. We am very excited about it — and hope you are, too.

It is time someone literally forced the politicians to take a stand on amnesty. In the past, we have had to rely on vague statements from politicians to know where they stand. Or, worse, we’ve had to wait until an actual amnesty vote comes up to learn whether or not our elected representatives actually do represent us on the issue of border security!

This pledge program, however, will cut down on a great deal of the political game-playing. Either a politician signs the Americans First! Pledge or they do not! We can’t wait to get this program rolling!

San Antonio officials complained that fans from a rival school district were racist for celebrating their victory with the traditional patriotic cheer. Many of the players on the losing team from Edison High School are Hispanic.

“It was chanted selectively at a school that is predominantly Hispanic and there was understanding of that,” whined San Antonio district spokesman Leslie Price. She claimed that many people who called her office found the “USA, USA” chant to be “very disrespectful.”
