A green card is needed if your an immigrant.

No you can live in any country in the world and join the us military. Always been that way.

Publik Skewl Educayshun alert...you aren't paying for anything, honey. You got an incredible break because of the fact that your parents came here illegally. If they hadn't, you'd have lived in whatever he!! hole they came from. Instead, you got what is by third world standards, a pretty incredible life.

Exactly.

These illegals don't think they are illegal. None of them do! This country is in for a very bad time in the near future.

All out of state students face the same problem when it comes to in state tuition.

Illegal aliens really shouldn't expect special treatment.

Why? Just because people break into this country, pay no taxes, and want admission to taxpayer supported universities?

.......my blood is boiling too!

"To allow these to get off the hook and pay in-state tuition is an insult to not only those who worked their butts off to seek legal channels of entering our country, but an insult to every taxpayer that is basically subsidizing college for people who have no right to be here to begin with."

All we need to know!

Ignoring the fact that we're talking about ILLEGALS here, how much farther "out of state" can you get than coming from another country.

Surely there are just as needy students in other US states that are American citizens. They don't qualify.

This subject is so absurd, and to see some Republicans giving it credence by considering it is beyond the pale. The fact that any elected official can discuss this with a straight face, well, it makes me wonder what chemicals were hidden in my food today.

Supporters also note that federal student aid is off-limits to illegal immigrants.

Actually, I believe that there's a federal law that cuts off federal funds to colleges in states that give tuition breaks to illegal aliens.

What's the big deal? Maybe if the illegal aliens apply to Bank of America, they'll be able to get a loan!

Your right that you can join the military from any country in the world but you must be a legal resident, hence need a green card.

While this doesn't directly address what this thread is about, there's something that's been really bothering me about leftists, and their cow-towing, if not active support, in breaking our immigration laws, as well as doing all they can to promote what they call "diversity," which is actually a "balkanization" of our society.

I keep hearing, over and over again, about the "Ugly Americans" from the "nuanced" left. These are American citizens who visit other countries, and expect the other countries governments and citizens to bend over backwards to accommodate them. Usually, this translates to "those 'ugly Americans' actually expected English to be spoken!" The left, being so "nuanced," denounce and persecute those "ugly Americans."

These very same leftists are the first to demand that American government and citizens bend over backwards to accommodate illegal aliens...

They demand that we follow all the foreign countries' customs, and speak the native language while visiting there, but these same a$$hat$ demand that we change our society to better suit illegal invaders.

Sorry for the rant.

People who are on multiple ping lists will be pinged multiple times....... Better safe than sorry. I also emailed the article to everyone in my address book. I had two jars of the junk in my cabinet.
