As Twitchy reported, Sen. Dick Durbin recently laid his cards on the table when he tweeted that his “singular mission” is to make sure that DREAMers have the “protection and certainty about their future” that they deserve. Where American citizens fit into that singular mission he didn’t say — maybe he doesn’t care.
In a way, DREAMers have already enjoyed a free ride thanks to their parents entering the country illegally, but now Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York is hoping to give them another free ride … through college.

Fox News reports that Cuomo “tucked a provision in his $168 billion budget plan” that makes state scholarships open to children of illegals.

Let me say that nothing is "free" American tax payers will be footing the bill for these #illegals and it's not fair at all. As a New Yorker I certainly don't want my tax dollars going towards any initiatives that support illegals staying in my city or state. https://t.co/8FDzfUpJac

Well, if Bernie Sanders can’t make his dream of free college for everyone a reality, at least New York can make sure DREAMers enjoy a tuition-free education in America.

That’s a thought.
Why not just send them all home and then offer free college to naturally born citizens instead? Bet we could afford it if we reduced the population of "lucky" kids who made it here via border hopping parents. https://t.co/t1YK5g2Sms

I don't get it. Aren't the dreamers contributing so much to society and the American fabric? Why would they need anyone to pay for school? #EndDACANow https://t.co/PYBQuF90GF

They are the best and brightest — although blocking the entrance at Disneyland in protest wasn’t really bright.

They are not American dreamers. Stop the bullshit. They are people taking advantage of the big heart of America at taxpayer expense. https://t.co/0q0vZR4HDP

Democrats Logic: non USA citizens college free …. USA citizens will pay thousands of $ to learn in college https://t.co/hYkM0bRr0C

I don't think this guy could get any crazier, I think this guy has some kind of metal issue. Who in their right mind would provide a free education to someone breaking the law over law abiding American Citizens. https://t.co/RVvMQ1wE7v

This man is nuts. US citizens must pay high college tuitions while illegals, even if they make up to $125,000 per year, get free tuition? Isn't that almost treasonous? https://t.co/WFHzez3FSY

Doesn’t Cuomo have a broken-down subway system in New York City that badly needs his attention?
Is it any wonder the out of touch Democrats are out of power in Washington? https://t.co/GzKT9cpu18
