If you haven't read The Hedgehog Report's Better Tuition rates for illegal immigrants; you must.
Why should someone with no American citizenship claim a privilege that an American citizen doesn't automatically qualify for? Worse than the bill is the hyperbole that surrounded its passage. From the Washington Post's Maryland Moment Blog

The comments infuriated many Democrats, who rose in their seats to speak for the bill. The most eloquent was Melvin L. Stukes, a Democrat from Baltimore, who spoke with the voice and fervor of a preacher. He compared opposition to undocumented students to the view of slaves that existed in the 1700s: As less than human.

Eloquent? No. Ridiculous. Slaves were not full citizens by government edict. Illegal immigrants are not citizens because they didn't follow the necessary requirements to become legal. To become a doctor you must go to medical school, do an internship, do a residency and pass lots of tests. If you don't fulfill those requirements, you're not a doctor. Similarly citizenship has certain requirements. To cast it as a civil rights issue is absurd.
