Mitt Romney Promises Veto of Immigrant-Tuition Bill

Mitt Romney is planning to run for President in 2008. As such, he needs to take stances that he thinks will be popular nationwide, rather than just in Massachusetts.

Well, he is sending the message that in-state tuition for illegal aliens is not popular nationwide. Maybe people are starting to "get it."

Legislation granting undocumented immigrants the discounted in-state tuition rate at state colleges and universities is failing to make the grade in the House.

Several House lawmakers said this week there aren't enough favorable votes in the House to withstand a promised veto of the bill by Gov. Mitt Romney, and some suggested support may even fall short of the 81-vote majority needed to pass it.

If they can't pass something like this in Massachusetts that says a lot about how unpopular giving in-state tuition to illegal aliens is.
