In yet another example of Democrats ignoring the law and prioritizing illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens, Minnesota’s blue state has decided to offer free college to those who enter our country illegally. The program, pompously named the “North Star Promise” will provide historic investments for student support, as well as access to driver’s licenses and healthcare plans intended for low-income residents.

According to Axios, anyone who lives in the state, graduated from a Minnesota high school, and lives in a household whose yearly income is below $80,000 will be eligible for the program. This will also apply to those who have entered our country illegally. Senate Higher Education Chair Omar Fateh (DFL) claims that the purpose of this initiative is to expand opportunities for everyone regardless of their “documentation status.”
Today on the floor, we passed the most transformational Higher Education Budget in the nation. In this, we provide tuition-free college with the North Star Promise, and provide historic investment for student support and our institutions. #FreeCollege pic.twitter.com/lBprWt2aF4

What a bunch of hogwash. Why are we spending taxpayers’ hard-earned money on illegal immigrants instead of our own citizens? And how are we supposed to fund these “historic investments” for students while also giving freebies to these lawbreakers and people who shouldn’t even be here in the first place?
The lawmakers responsible for this madness claim that they are representing the residents of their districts, regardless of citizenship status. This is absurd. These Democrats have officially lost their minds and are more concerned about their political agenda than the people they were elected to serve.
Meanwhile, our country faces a border crisis where hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring into our country. They are breaking the law and are taking advantage of hard-working Americans while our own citizens get left behind. These Democrats would rather support those who break the law than prioritize our own people. It’s just shameful.
Hopefully, this program gets struck down before more blue states follow suit. We must strongly oppose this outrageous endeavor and demand that our elected officials prioritize citizens over illegal immigrants.
