SB 170 (Higher Education Access Act) fails to pass Colorado Senate

Colorado’s version of the DREAM Act failed to pass the Colorado Senate yesterday after 5 dems chose to sell out their values for some vague impression that this would impact the Colorado budget, and because they don’t believe human rights matter more than politics.  I don’t have time to post a lot about it right now, but I am fucking pissed off, especially at Morgan Carroll who basically scapegoated immigrant children for the huge budget cuts the state is facing.

I swear, I hope someone give her a good fucking primary challenge and she loses her seat.

Also, this is another good reason to talk about reforming TABOR, so shitty politicians can’t use it as an excuse to sell out hard working people (exactly like they did with the paid sick days bill).
