Massachusetts: discounts for illegal aliens stalled; Boston Globe bias

The MA bill that would let illegal aliens take discounted college educations away from U.S. citizens has been delayed until 2006: "House delays tuition bill vote".

In other news, the Boston Globe isn't telling their readers the whole truth about this matter.

First, they don't use "illegal aliens", prefering instead "undocumented immigrants."

Second, let's consider their summary of the bill:

Under the proposed law, they would qualify for in-state tuition if they graduate from a Massachusetts high school after attending it for at least three years and if they sign an affidavit affirming that they intend to seek citizenship.

The truth of the bill is a "bit" more broad. As discussed here, they don't have to actually have graduated: they just need the "equivalent" of it. And, they don't even have to sign the affadavit: they can do that at a more convenient time. In other words, practically any illegal alien who lived in MA for three years would be eligible, and they wouldn't have to really do anything to take a discounted college education away from a citizen.

You mean an ordinary news story published in the mainstream media, and that touches on immigration, is not entirely accurate or (seemingly) neutral?

I am shocked.

Non-"liberal" coverage of immigration, Iraq, terrorism, multiculturalism, Los Angeles, California, privacy, and occasionally celebrities and wacky humor...
