I recently read in The Sun that some of our state legislators voted to give illegal immigrants the right to pay in-state tuition to state colleges and universities ("Senate approves in-state tuition for illegal immigrants 27-20," March 15).

I thought that "illegal" meant that they aren't supposed to be here. I'm sure there are other privileges that these "New Americans," as our governor refers to them, can enjoy in our fine state, considering the generous view many of our politicians take toward them.
