Delegate Threatens To Sue If Immigrant Tuition Bill Passed

House Begins Hearing Bill That Senate Passed Monday

BALTIMORE -- A Republican lawmaker is threatening to sue the state if his colleagues pass legislation providing a college tuition break to undocumented students.


The lawsuit will be filed if the measure makes it out of a House committee and if the full House passes it before the end of the session.


The full Senate voted Monday night to pass the bill.


Delegate Patrick McDonough, R-Baltimore County, vowed arguments against the measure would be heard in court if his House colleagues send it Gov. Martin O'Malley. The governor said he would sign it if passed.


"When I say I'm going to file a lawsuit, I mean it," McDonough said.


He sued Montgomery College over its policy of giving undocumented students a tuition break. The case will be heard next month.

Does anyone in their right mind really bellieve this is great ideal?

Other than Obama, who is probably an Illegal himself...
