Amazing and very alarming. The Oregon House of Representatives passed House Bill 2787, called the “tuition equity" bill by a margin of 38 to 18. This bill gives special treatment to certain illegal aliens who wish to attend college in Oregon.

I thought our representatives and senators were elected to represent the interests of the citizens of Oregon and here they are representing the interests of a select group of illegal aliens and making law to benefit these select illegal aliens.

Some of the perpetrators of this activity are Rep. Michael Dembrow, D-Portland, Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles and Rep. Betty Komp, D-Woodburn. What kind of representation is this? Let’s hope the majority of senators vote no on this, thereby preventing Gov. John Kitzhaber from signing it into law.
