Once again, filthy Democrats, this time in New York has denied something to American military and instead gave it to illegal aliens. This time it was tuitation. Democrats in New York killed this bill, but passed a bill giving tuition assistance to illegal aliens. Non-Americans are the communist Democrat priorities. Democrats killed a bill on that would have provided free tuition for Gold Star families that had lost a child killed in the line of duty in service to the country. Though, even if the bill passed, I doubt communist governor Andrew Cuomo would have signed it into law anyway.

“The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 to hold the bipartisan bill, effectively ending its chances of making it to a floor vote this session,” according to Syracuse.com.
But the move comes only a week after the same legislature passed a $175 billion state budget that contained $27 million to give free tuition to illegal aliens.
“It’s disgraceful,” Republican Assemblyman Gary Finch said after the Gold Star bill was shelved, “Soldiers who lay down their lives and make the ultimate sacrifice represent the best of us. The children they love so dearly deserve access to the opportunity and promise that is the hallmark of this country. I can’t imagine what’s in your heart when you vote ‘no’ on a bill like this.”
Republican Assemblyman Will Barclay slammed the Democrats for being petty and insisting that the Democrats killed the Gold Star tuition proposal merely because they didn’t want Steve Hawley, the Republican who introduced it, to get a win.
“We get so caught up in majority and minority issues here, we can’t see the forest through the trees,” Barclay said. “I don’t know how they don’t justify this.”
