A private college in Arizona is charging students a fee to fund a scholarship for illegal immigrants, a controversial move supporters say gives a hand to those who need it but anti-illegal immigration advocates call irresponsible.

Prescott College is tacking a $30 annual fee onto its $28,000 annual tuition to establish an annual scholarship for

What else would you expect from a college who's motto is -

“For the Liberal Arts, the Environment, and Social Justice”.

Yeah, opting out requires awareness and expenditure of energy while opt in snares those not paying attention. The latter is the more effective tool, as you can imagine.

Maybe a 2,000.00 fee would be better. Just to awaken liberals.

“Here’s an idea. Report them to ICE and no allow the crimillegals to enroll.”

How about we leave this private college along and instead do after state governors, many of them Republican, who have signed legislation to use tax dollars to enroll illegal aliens in colleges?

I think most of these people know what they are getting into and won't have a problem with it.

If this was a mandatory fee, I’d steal everything that wasn’t nailed down at that campus to recoup my money.

I think these colleges should *seriously* consider giving free rides, based on looks, to Czech, Ukranian, Polish, and Serbian girls.

Find your *own* pictures for the thread to support this; my work here is DONE.

Social Justice and Human Rights Master of Arts divisions.

Complete BS. If people could have seen what colleges would become, they would have burned them all down 100 years ago. There is no serious scholarship at these places. It’s all leftist propaganda. Something has to change. Most people go to college to get the piece of paper. Surely there is a better way to prepare for a career. As for education, that can be had anywhere these days. Technology should have made classrooms obsolete.

-—If the school really wanted to give illegals an education they could have done it for free. Why make other students pay for it?

to spark outrage - to get liberal street cred - to make the news - to discourage conservative parents from sending their kids there (I guess the list could go on and on)

This is a 3rd rate college selling worthless degrees to students unqualified for higher education. It is a national trend.

A portion of tuition is wealth redistribution first. Only the rich and poor minorities can go to top ranked private colleges.

>For someone to sue the school, they need standing to do so.

Easy. As an Citizen, the school/local/State govt are aiding and abetting illegal activity.

There’s your ‘standing’.

The party suing must have something to lose in order to sue unless it has automatic standing by action of law.

If you didn’t pay the fee, you lost nothing.

Lost ‘nothing’?

Equal protection/enforcement of/under the Law?
How ‘bout the $$ I’m shelling out for govt/police to do its JOB? nor our $$ given to the illegals (welfare, etc.)...Think I *might* have ‘standing’ there?

‘They’ culpable if/when said illegal steals my identity, breaks into my home, hit-run (with/out a fatality)?

What’s next, non-enforcement of giving $$, or recruiting, for ISIS...same precedent, no? No harm/lose to YOU.

Whole lot of pretzel/bending and B.S. to be able to FLOUT the law and then stand behind it when THEIR asses are on the line.

Won’t work if *I* have to come before a judge, but I’m just a 2nd class/caste Citizen in my own Country, right?

No offense, FRiend, but I don’t need Leftist ‘logic’ to determine that’s NOT rain on my leg.

Not-with’standing’ /s

I’m more concerned about the states that use tax payer’s dollars to fund college education for illegal aliens, than I am one private college raising a fund to do the same.
