Special rights for lawbreakers.

Well, for some lawbreakers. You know, sort of like "hate crimes".

That’s the picture. Every time I hear the story of an illegal saying that he or she would have never been able to make it through college without the break, I think of the deserving American who was pushed out of line.

Indeed, 'tis food for thought.

They tried that at the University of WA, until the legal aliens that were here on a student visa and also graduated from local high schools sued for the same rights. Washington has quite a few Asians who come here to attend private high schools and learn English before applying to US universities.

The school lost and had to refund the difference between the out of state and in state tuition to Asian students, who were here on green card.

Most of the Asian students had to go home after graduation, though. Do they get to come back now?

At least out-of-state Americans are eligible for federal student loans; international students must pay out-of-state rates and are ineligible for practically all financial assistance, including private, credit-based loans.

The message: cross the border illegally, and you get discounts.

Robbing Hoods they are...

More like the Sheriff of Nottingham and his hoodlums, stealing from the poor to give to the rich (i.e., themselves).

Let’s see—the interview goes like this?

So you are in America illegally?
Si Senor
And you want the reduced in-state tuition?
Aiii Carmaba Si Senor Si Si
The interviewer says “fill out this form” (printed in Spanish of course) and leaves the room to “grab some files” in order to secretly call ICE agents to come pick the illegal up for processing out of the country.

Is that what this is?

In a sane society yes—and is done all the time to snag all the other criminals; they are sting operations. But this illegal will get a cut rate tuition not offered to my children.

And this is still America?

This is HELL.

Integration with Mexico and points south. They’re ramming this stuff through and the US public continues to snooze. Well, except for important stuff, like what celeb has been arrested, etc..

"Next thing you know illegals will get scholarships and free tuition"

In a previous thread an illegal alien had been given subsidized public schooling and was awarded a Goizueta scholarship...and wanted MORE!

“that seem to think the American people must pay for the world”

We are a rich nation, and a basically uneducated nation when it comes to economics.

I believe that the polls that show that a high percentage of people can’t name any of their representatives would also show that these same people believe that the government can just “print more money”.

Couple that with a liberal belief in a “world utopia” and you have the answer to your question.
