Though I understand your logic in calling for illegal immigrants to get in-state tuition at Maryland colleges and universities ("College bound, but undocumented," Jan. 24), I absolutely disagree with you. If we, as Maryland citizens, keep welcoming illegal immigrants to come to this sanctuary state for things like reduced tuition, subsidized housing, food stamps, drivers licenses and free medical care, we will become the California of the East Coast, a bankrupt state wondering why we let it happen. Being compassionate with your money is fine. I will decide how to spend mine.

By the way, I don't even believe these kids should be in our schools in the first place, which would make your point moot.
