More than 100 undocumented students from the Bay Area will have the chance to go to college this fall thanks in part to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.
Over the last several years, the couple has given millions of dollars through their Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative to TheDream.US, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., that awards scholarships to undocumented students. This year, the organization will award 139 four-year scholarships worth $3.4 million to local students, part of an effort to send 400 undocumented immigrants from the Bay Area to colleges in the region by 2020.
“We truly believe that an education is so important for people to be able to contribute to this community and this nation,” said Tania Wilcox, the organization’s program director for college partnerships.
TheDream.US had been concerned that President Donald Trump’s election and the fear it created among undocumented immigrants might deter students from applying. But, program director Gaby Pacheco said, some 9,000 started the application, with roughly a third completing it. “Even in the face of fear, even in the face of a lot of uncertainty,” she said, “they just push forward.”
No matter what happens in the future, Wilcox said, “no one can take away the education that these scholars receive.”

Fakebook hates America.
Abandon Fecebook.
Zuckerberg uses the wealth you provide with every login against the citizens and the rule of law.
He wasted a billion bucks in Baltimore schools.
Why not waste it on gender study degrees for illegals.
It will destroy him in the general election if he ever won the nomination.
Help? Why not just send them? Pay the tuition. If they major in the sciences and finish in the top half of their class let them stay. Gender studies-that’s different.
Instead of providing legal Americans the opportunity to go to college,
he gives help to illegals.
Suckerberg does indeed hate Americans.
I would support this if he paid to send them to the University of Mexico City. :)

Almost complete strangers to Xi Jinping, Zuck and his ugly wife asked the Chinese leader to name their first born child.
they were sucking up to try to get access to the Chinese market, isn’t that disgusting..?
Naturally he was horrified and declined to do so, detecting their obsequious agenda.
I’ve never heard of an internationalist quite as shameless and committed as Zuck, the liar and Thief.
Listening to a video from Mexico about why their people come here....
An Elementary school teacher in Mexico states....” every child before they finish elementary school, are already planning about going to what they call “the American Dream” to look for work and a better life in the United States.... 14 or 15 years is the average age when they decide to leave their town behind to go “over there”. ...and it’s usually 50% of the classroom.
A local council Member says regarding adults.........”You can find work here but just enough to eat and put a roof over your head....it’s not enough if you want a business, to build your own home, or save money...that’s why they go to the US.
In the US I make $16.00 an hour working in construction..I lived in Las Vegas for 17 yrs.
The American Dream means to us we can go over there, find a good job, earn money save it and come back to buid a grand suer house or start a business.
So the overall thoughts regarding the USA is at some point most of them are going to come here to reap what they can...some will return most will not. Give them a college education and all the more will come.
But other liberals wouldn't swoon over them and write glowing kiss-ass stories about them if they were just awarding scholarships to actual American citizens in need.
“We truly believe that an education is so important for people to be able to contribute to this community and this nation” said Tania Wilcox, the organization’s program director for college partnerships.
Unless they are actually Americans.
Then it's "Tuffski-Schitzky".
They’re all under the spell of Globalism.....they see the entire world as their mission because that’s the plain they function on with all the wealth they have. Rare does it return to their own communities sufficient to really make a difference because they are too busy keeping up with the Jones in their own clicks. So they frame their “missions” around what will ‘fit’ within the overall plans of the Global Governance Machinery...this way they get all the koo-doos from their friends.
Hey, Zuck, be sure to advise them all to sign-up for that Semester Abroad...
The Zuck Suck
Illegal aliens should be sent home to their own country.
Educate AMERICANS—NOT Third World invaders!!!!
And enable Americans to get REAL educations—NOT Marxist indoctrination!!!!
Then they will even know enough to stay far, far away from Facebook!!!!
So do we. But they aren't part of "this nation".
Yet they wouldn’t be caught alive or dead supporting a single citizen, much less one that held “politically incorrect” beliefs.
More friggin’, braindead illegal alien “immigration lawyers”. Wonderful.
