I don’t know how I missed this “Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said undocumented students have access to state aid”

Really? MY taxes are going to illegals?

Every Texan call you elected State Reps, The Lege goes back into session jan 11
We must stop giving our money to illegals

“I think most Americans would agree with the principle that you don’t punish children for the decisions or mistakes of their parents,” he said.

Bwaah. You don’t reward them either.

Get in line.

Wait your turn.

Illegal trespassers are guilty of breaking and entering, and they need to be sent back to their homeland. No more handouts.

Grecia said MCC is less challenging than Baylor, but she intends to earn her four-year degree there and then try to become a manager or start her own business.

In light of the fact that MCC is a two year junior college, she must be pretty stupid if she is getting a four year degree from MCC.

Always the sob stories, nothing on the thousands of gang bangers, drug dealers and low lifes that permeate the illegal communities.

I hate the media.

So sorry Grecia, all the blame falls squarely on your parents’ shoulders.

Agreed. Just think what could be accomplished if illegals and their sympathizers spent half the energy changing Mexico that they spend trying to change the US!

Let Gracie’s brother go to Mexico to be an honest cop!

“She could join the military and work towards citizenship. It’s one way to do it legally.”
NO she can’t. Our Military does NOT take illegals. only legal immigrants

Let’s see, if I steal something, keep it long enough
now it “feels” like it is mine, tell someone about
the theft, look for sympathy, expect others to
change their laws about personal property, so
I can feel better and be liked.

NOOOOOOO!

Get your brown butt back across the river and
if you come back, get in the back of the line!!!!!!1

Sorry. Not buying it. You feel sorry for them
But it isn’t our responsibility to reward them. I don’t care what contributions they can make. There are literally thousands for each one of these cases who are trying it legally. Because we have sympathy doesn’t mean we have to piss on the others because she didn’t come here on her own.

Not feeling sorry for them. Rather, I’m creating a path where those who have ALREADY benefited from a US education can PAY BACK the nation and show their gratitude by serving in the military.

If successful in that endeavor, they have shown themselves to have the drive and discipline to be valuable contributors to our American way of life and will have a high probability of wanting to sustain that way of life for posterity.

One way is to enlist in the military for a tour of duty. that earns you the right to be a citizen.

Congrats to Grecia. God loves her and will protect her from rabid animals from all persuasions. Her heart is more American than anyone else’s here on this thread.

My family has been here as far back as we can find records.

I can't afford to send any of my kids to Baylor. Quick, someone cry me a river.

MCC is a two year college. However, it has contracts with Tarleton State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas Tech University, the University of Texas at Brownsville and Midwestern State University. You can get both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s on the MCC campus. When Texas Tech signed the contract with MCC, the first thing they did was buy a billboard across the street from Baylor that said “Texas Tech is IN WACO!” It’s a Big 12 rivalry thing.

“It’s not like I can get on a bus and go to Mexico”

Why? Is there a law that prevents 19 yr old Mexican citizens from getting on a bus and going to Mexico?

Does Mexico have no teacher’s colleges?
