This Week in California - Puff Piece Profiles Illegal Immigrant Student
Three Fingers of Politics ^ | 10/8/2010 | SkinnieMinnie

Once again, we have a one-sided lefty article out of the San Francisco Chronicle – this time, it’s an emotional appeal to highlight the unfortunate lack of funding for illegal immigrants’ college education.

Alejandro Jimenez has got to be the luckiest “undocumented” immigrant in the state of California. Thanks to the soft, one-sided writing of Nanette Asimov, his law-breaking story is written to be, well, heart-breaking. Instead of rightly playing it down the middle, and discussing both sides of the heated and relevant California immigration issue, Asimov used Jimenez’s story to pull at the heartstrings of readers who think there ought to be more available funds for illegal immigrants that wish to pursue a higher education.

Mexico has several Universities.

University of Baja California is one very close to the border.

There should be. From their own countries. I feel like someone stole from me everytime i read about an illega;l (like zero’s auntie) getting something for nothing.

“He is among an untold number of college students who at some point slipped into the United States unseen by border guards. Jimenez did it when he was 8 years old.”....

Sorry, illegal! No sympathy!...go home!

We already paid for all his education up to college. I have an idea. He can write a check to every tax paying American that already paid for education up to this time.

Every Lib media piece in on the needy students...never the thousands of criminals that are incarcerated.

What’s worse is that this kid took the place of an more qualified American student whose dreams were thrown aside so this illegal could attend in his place! Top Universities turn away 10 for everyone they accept.

The real story is that his undeserving illegal racist puke got accepted over an American citizen.

Stories like this make me want to throw up, but there’s one good thing...I’m far from alone. These sob-story writers might think they are drumming up sympathy for their precious illegals, but they’re really only enraging most Americans. Between Auntie Zeituni, and Meg Whitman’s illegal maid, and stories like this, hopefully Americans will soon say, “Enough is enough.”

Screw him, and the donkey he rode in on. We've paid enough.
