Jeff Bezos just donated $33 million to 'dreamers' Jeff Bezos just donated $33 million to 'dreamers' 41 Mins Ago | 00:41 Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos donated $33 million in college scholarships for "dreamers" — childhood undocumented immigrants granted stay in the country under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
TheDream.Us, a nonprofit working toward college access for undocumented immigrants, said the donation from Bezos and his wife MacKenzie is the largest in the organization's history and will fund 1,000 scholarships.
"My dad came to the U.S. when he was 16 as part of Operation Pedro Pan," Bezos said in a statement. "He landed in this country alone and unable to speak English. With a lot of grit and determination – and the help of some remarkable organizations in Delaware – my dad became an outstanding citizen, and he continues to give back to the country that he feels blessed him in so many ways."

They dream of going to college..they don't need to compete for seats in public colleges which will give preference to guaranteed tuition paid vs. hard-working families' abilities to scrape and save to get their kids better opportunities..

keep buying from amazon if you like this crap
Americans are second class citizens to the Elite.
I’m sure the colleges in Central America and elsewhere will be happy to enroll those students.
Awwww. Isn’t Jeff a nice guy?
I’m so impressed.
Well then, his dad was fleeing communism. Apparently, uber capitalist Bezos can’t buy a clue.

Has Amazon ever been more than a loss leader?
“””””””””””keep buying from amazon if you like this crap””””
Never sent them a penny, don’t plan to start now.
It’s obvious that American kids do not matter to Bezos. Nice to know.
The guy is worth 100 billion and he only donates a measly 33 million? What a jerk.
How much is thAt in crap hole dollars?
3 trillion dollars?
And not black people? Veterans?
Foreign students are now actually being recruited by some American public taxpayer- supported colleges. Not to fill empty seats, either, Instead they’re filling seats to the exclusion of American students. Also, some much- needed courses are cancelled to free budget for more and more ESL and special counseling services for the foreigners We saw one English department with 39 ESL classes and no Shakespeare class at all
Should be illegal to give scholarship money to someone who is in the country illegally.
What about American kids?
He likes cheap labor packing those boxes. Or robots. Even better.
I bought one thing from amazon.
Couldn’t find it anywhere else.
Still I felt icky?
