http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-07-06-Illegaled_N.htm

If we give them everything else, why not college also?

Answer 1

I feel the same way that all of you who answered but believe me nothing will change unless you write your congressman over and over and your senators and complain to high heaven. I to am tired of our government supporting people who sneake in here.and milk our system at our expence.They are crimminals for sneaking in to our country.

Answer 2

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Answer 3

Too bad illegals already take WAY more than they give.

Allowing illegals to use our education system is about a wrong as it gets, they don't pay for it and already sponge off our welfare, health care, take jobs and generally are bad for the U.S.

Rewarding these disrespectful criminals with college when law abiding citizens cannot afford it is almost as ridiculous as someone being for illegal invasion of a sovereign nation.

Answer 4

they should kick them out of the country and not only out of the colleges .

Answer 5

What. You mean that someone can't illegally sneak into our nation by disrespecting and pissing on our immigration laws, and they cannot sponge some college education off of us. Well how rude of the U.S. not to allow these criminals to go to college.

Answer 6

There are thousands of American students who are forced to study abroad or attend community colleges because of overcrowded universities. In states like California there are large numbers of students attending its universities that are illegal immigrants or the children of illegal immigrants.

Answer 7

Because they are illegal. I hope the next step is that someone actually gets serious about getting them ALL out of here.

Answer 8

I think you just about peaked my anger.

Did you not just hear what you said

Just so you know, illegal aliens are, yes, illegal!

And you think we should cater and help illegals.

I assume you think we should give rapist and murders a pass to local colleges, huh?

Yeah, smart?

Answer 9

they keep sucking out people's brains and implanting drones. no one is learning in that atmosphere

Answer 10

because those who propose those laws believe than having ignorant immigrants is a good thing for them . u'll see , how soon , NC laws are taken down by lawsuits ( which of course will lead to them having to pay lawsuits they didn't really had to pay for ) . do we give the immigrants everything !??? good one , we do not , the undocumented do pay a lot into the system and it is only fair to allow those undocumented who want to attend college to do so .

someone is addressing me so here is my answer :

I would like to be very clear about something :

Black people in this country have problems finding a job because people have a bad notion ( sometimes a racist notion ) of them , as simple as that , not related to immigration and mostly not related to anything else . to trow the problem which blacks been having for always in the direction of immigration its just illogical and makes not sense at all . by the way their lack of jobs used to be blamed in them being lazy which is just another excuse to justify racism against them , enough said . does anyone think they would not be treated different if they were black !? .... of course they would be treated differently , not doubt about it .

Answer 11

Because the taxpaying citizens are sick and tired of subsidizing illegal aliens. When all the subsidizing, jobs and benefits are denied to the illegal aliens, maybe they will wise up, leave, and apply legally.

My husband and I have paid over $200,000 above their scholarships for higher education for our 3 children. Illegal aliens' children are receiving free primary education, when they aren't even entitled to be here. That's more than enough, actually it's too much and frequently is causing financial problems in schools that results in cuts in programs that American kids need to get a cutting edge when applying to college. Cut advanced classes to fund ESL? It's time for it to stop.

Answer 12

As game over above me said the illegals pay into the system so why not give them TAXPAYER funded college?

Here is my answer - Because the puny amount they pay into they system is about 10% of what they take from the system.  They get well over $10,000 per year for their public school educations (thats about $120,000 for a student here 12 years, and likely its MUCH more)

The harm they cause to the lower class, and lower educated AMERICANS cannot even be accounted for due to lost jobs, lower wages, discrimination, etc. yet democrats (mainly although there are many republicans like Mccain who want to pander to them) give them anything for the potential votes down the road.  These cowardly politicians will sell this entire country out so that big business makes bigger profits.

What I can't understand is why would Obama come out and say he'll give them amnesty if he can.  That is such a slap in the face of black people that I would think they'd be ready to lynch him.  That demographic will be hurt the worst as the 15-25 million illegals will be competing for mostly low end jobs, which are primarily held by minorities.
