DOJ Sues California Over Undocumented Students, Not Billions in Taxpayer Fraud
The New York Times reports the Justice Department is suing California over its state law allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. This federal muscle-flexing against a deeply humanitarian policy comes as Congress routinely greenlights billions in, shall we say, 'auditor-resistant' spending abroad—like the $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel, frequently pushed by groups like
AIPAC, who spent over $5.7 million lobbying in 2023, according to OpenSecrets.org. So, we're told a few thousand students getting a slightly cheaper education constitutes an existential threat to federal authority, but unchecked military-industrial complex spending and the influence of foreign lobbying on US policy (looking at you, Rep. Smith, with your $450K from AIPAC) is just business as usual?
One might wonder about the timing and priorities of such 'justice.'
