“The City of Boston will be partnering with an immigrant-serving organization to provide support directly to undocumented students seeking to take advantage of the program”
This is so typical for the city of Boston. Why do people put up with this?

Boston pays for illegal immigrants’ college tuition with federal stimulus money
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced a financial expansion of the Tuition-Free Community College Plan, which will now cover up to three years of college tuition for illegal immigrants.
“The City of Boston will be partnering with an immigrant-serving organization to provide support directly to undocumented students seeking to take advantage of the program,” a city press release states.
The six Boston Community Colleges participating in the initiative are Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology, Bunker Hill Community College, Massasoit Community College, MassBay Community College, Roxbury Community College, and Urban College of Boston.
Of the $4 million investment into the Tuition-Free Community College Plan that funds this expansion, $1 million was invested by the Community Funding Project and $3 million comes from the American Rescue Plan Act.
Students can have up to $2,500 in debt paid off and select students will receive a stipend of $250 for each semester enrolled.
Criteria for students to receive free tuition includes “being a Boston resident; enroll in an associate degree or short-term certificate program at a partner college; complete the FAFSA.”

“This is so typical for the city of Boston. Why do people put up with this?”
You ask that like there’s anyone there who would oppose it.
Hello? There’s got to be a crime in here. We need an army of right wing Alvin Brags to round up and charge them ALL. This story is repeated, with variations, daily all over this once-great land. We need to put a stop to this commie nonsense.
If you’re thinking ‘ but what Bragg is doing is wrong’
Sure it is… It’s the only way to get them to see how wrong it is.
These are federal funds appropriated by Congress. Was “Paying college tuition for illegal immigrants” an approved use for these funds? If not, the House, the Senate, or both, should be stepping in here to stop the fraudulent and illegal use of the funds for this purpose.
They say they’re going to funnel (launder) the funds through some “immigrant-serving” organization. Who is going to keep watch and see how much of the money ends up sticking to the hands of that organization and getting passed back to Boston politicians?
