File this one under the category of “shocking, but not surprising” — Chuck Schumer’s last name means exactly what you think it does.

 

The Senate minority leader has been in Congress for more than two decades, while Ancestry.com traces its roots to the very non-digital year of 1984.

 

In spite of this, no one bothered looking the former’s name up with the latter until someone from Big League Politics decided to do it.

 

As it turns out, while the last name may not have been given to him, it couldn’t be more perfect:

Arizona Supreme Court: No in-state tuition for DACA college students

 

Arizona Supreme Court: No in-state tuition for DACA college students

 

The latest ruling means that tuition could cost double, even triple, for more than 2,000 DACA recipients studying in Arizona public colleges.

Young immigrants with DACA status who want to attend college in their home state of Arizona will have to pay pay out-of-state rates.

 

On Monday, the Arizona Supreme Court unanimously sided with an Arizona Court of Appeals' ruling from last year stating that 'Dreamers' are not eligible for lower in-state tuition in Maricopa County Community Colleges. Under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA,) young immigrants who have been brought to the state as children and qualify for DACA are allowed to work and study in the U.S.

 

According to the Arizona Supreme Court ruling, existing federal and state laws don't allow Maricopa Community Colleges to grant in-state tuition rates to DACA recipients. The court said this wouldn't preclude the state from extending this, as other states have done, in accordance with federal laws, but that the state currently doesn't have any such laws.

 

The latest ruling means that tuition could cost double, even triple, for more than 2,000 DACA recipients studying in Arizona public colleges.

 

Dreamers have been able to receive lower in-state tuition rates at Arizona State University, University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University since 2015. The rates were substantially less than what non-resident students pay.

 

According to a local paper, the in-state rate for undergraduate students at Arizona State University is $10,640 — compared to $26,470 for non-resident students. At Maricopa Community Colleges, the in-state rate is $86 per credit hour versus. $241 for non-residents.

A full opinion explaining the details of the court's ruling will be released May 14th. In the meantime, the court announced the ruling before then to allow students in the Maricopa Community Colleges system and other state universities to have as much time as possible to plan for those affected by the decision.

FBI Files: Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's Father Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. Was "Constant Companion" Of Notorious Mobster Benjamin Magliano

 

Nancy Pelosi's father Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. allegedly was a "constant companion" of notorious mobster Benjamin "Benny Trotta" Magliano and other underworld figures during his political years in Baltimore, MD. D'Alesandro was a Congressman for five terms from 1938 to 1947, and Baltimore mayor for three terms from 1947 to 1959. Magliano was identified by the FBI as one of Baltimore's "top hoodlums," and he widely was acknowledged as the representative for New York's Frankie Carbo who made his bones with Murder, Inc. and later became a made guy in the Lucchese family. The allegations are included in D'Alesandro's recently-released FBI files which Friends of Ours has obtained pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.

 

In 1947 the FBI investigated Magliano for securing a draft exemption from Selective Service for himself and prize fighters he controlled by falsely representing they had essential employment at American Ship Cleaning Company which was operated by John Cataneo. In fact, Magliano and his boxers had no such employment, and they were convicted with Cataneo in federal court for their unpatriotic draft-dodging scam. Peter Galiano, one of the convicted boxers, told the FBI in January 1947 that "Thomas D'Alesandro was a constant companion of John Cataneo; Benjamin Magliano . . . and [redacted]":

 

It was reported that these individuals had worked hard for Thomas D'Alesandro's reelection to Congress and on his campaign at that time to become Mayor of Baltimore. It was stated that John Cataneo and Magliano during the time of this campaign were under Federal indictments for violation of the Selective Service Act and for fraud against the Government and were subsequently convicted in Federal court. Cataneo allegedly admitted giving large sums of money toward the Democratic campaign and stated that he would receive the sanitation contracts for Baltimore if Mr. D'Alesandro was elected mayor.

 

At that time the FBI never investigated D'Alesandro concerning this or numerous other allegations involving hoodlum associations and public corruption. Of course, while in Congress D'Alesandro sat on the appropriations committee and was a friend of Director J. Edgar Hoover. For example, an FBI memo dated March 27, 1946 from E. G. Fitch to D. M. Ladd provides:

 

Supervisor Orrin H. Bartlett advised me that while talking to Congressman Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. (D., Md.) on March 26, 1946, the Congressman advised Agent Bartlett he was running for Congress again in the fall 1946 election and that in 1947 he was running for the office of Mayor of Baltimore. Congressman D'Alesandro advised Agent Bartlett that since he had been on the Appropriations Committee, he has been back of the Director and the Bureau one hundred percent, and further, that he was vitally interested in and completely satisfied with the results of the Bureau's work.

 

Hoover sent warm congratulations to D'Alesandro upon his November 1946 re-election to the House and then his May 1947 election as Baltimore Mayor, and after leaving Congress for City Hall D'Alesandro wrote Hoover by letter dated May 14, 1947:

 

Thank you very much for message congratulating me on my election as Mayor of the City of Baltimore. I was most pleased to receive your good wishes and assure you that I will do my utmost to give the people of Baltimore an efficient and outstanding administration. I, too, will miss you and many other friends in Washington but I am grateful for the proximity of our two cities which will afford the opportunity for frequent visits when and if time permits. Whenever you are in Baltimore, please make it a point to visit me at City Hall.
