If we could solve ALL the other problems of illegal immigration, I wouldn't mind these few thousand kids being given student visas and green cards so they could go to college and then be productive members of society.

This is the Dream Act, a rolling amnesty that would give up to 3 million legal status and eventual citizenship. And once they reach age 21 they can sponsor their siblings parents, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. to enter the US thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification.

And where is the fairness to those "kids" who don't want to go to college? Shouldn't we be willing to help them so that they "can be productive members of our society?" We need electricians, carpenters, lawn maintenance personnel, etc. If you are going to be generous with other people's money, let's help them all.

I don’t support the dream act, because it does a lot more than I would do. But I’m talking about a state deciding what to do with their own citizen’s tax dollars and their own colleges and universities, not a federal amnesty program.
