Hanger: In State Tuition for Illegals?

Elle has this post "Sen. Hanger raising Taxes on Citizens to pay for illegals", which describes how SB1204 is crafted to allow illegal aliens to get in state tuition at our colleges. An excerpt:

I notice that he puts in the bit about requiring them to pay state taxes for three years. But that won't even come close to covering the costs of a four year education. Illegal immigrants should not be rewarded financially for their illegal status. Illegal immigrants are openly breaking the law. They have no regard for the rules that govern our country. So why does Hanger want to reward them?

That's like giving a tax break to illegals if you want to look at it that way. He is lessening their cost of going to college, while voting to increase the tax burden on the Citizens of the Commonwealth, to help pay for it.
