Article Body: 

A bill that would allow illegal immigrants to attend college at in-state tuition rates passed the Colorado Senate with a historic vote Monday, the first time any Republicans had ever voted for the bill.

"We are now going to be able to reward young people who have played by the rules," said state Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, a co-sponsor of the bill. "They are now going to be able to give back."
 
 

CAIRCO Notes:

Illegal entry into the United States is a definitive case of breaking the rules. Those living in Colorado illegally do not deserve subsidized classroom seats when providing those seats would displace deserving Colorado students from those classrooms. 

Giron's comment is interesting considering that Giron stated in the press last year that she has "undocumented" family members here.
