Marian — WordPress doesn’t allow you to leave two spaces; otherwise, I would. As for the ending of the comment above, that’s intended to imply that I have much more to say but refrained from saying it. Because I can’t tell whether or not you’re being sarcastic, I’ll end simply. Thanks for posting. — Bob

Backbones — If you could read better than you can write, you would see I’ve explained my position in several comments above. The fact that your comment above has more than two-dozen spelling and punctuation errors — including the unpatriotic use of a lower-case “a” with the words, America and American, on at least five occasions — makes me wonder whether you’re an illegal alien posing as a concerned American. For all I know, you paid in-state tuition after illegally entering this country from Mexico. For all I know… — Bob

Somewhere along the line ones ancestors were also immigrants of this country. They may come to america legally or illegally because america had plead amnesty to illegal immigrants twice in US history. Even before then Pilgrams did not have permission from the native americans to come here leading to horrible deaths.

Thing is these students are already here they’ve soaked our culture learned our history and why not let them stay?

Many of these students are way more educated then our own children. These illegal immigrants have the will to strive for education and what they want. What about our children they strive for video games and potato chips and maybe a nice couch?

You state that they take taxpayers money have you also considered that they pay tax too? Yes they do and i can vouch for it. And where do thier tax go? To our american children who skips school and sells drugs to its peers?
We have invested so much money in them and now its time for them to go to college we should continue to support them and not do it half way! other wise we would live up to what other countries call us “Lazy Americans” If we can support higher education that means that the taxes would come back to you later in social security. Its like opening a CD account and never going back to claim it. Since we have nutured them up to college not letting them work and attend further education would only be our loss.

You claim that they take our money yet if they dont pass the dream act the immigrants would really take our money and never return it. If we pass it atleast we would get back some of our investments. If we keep supporting them up to 12th grade needless to say our national deficiet would only get larger.

College spot wise, last i check this country was based on capitalism competition must arise for people to better themselfs if American citizen complain that illegal immigrants are taking thier college spots isint that more of a communism thought? If American Citizens want to get into the better colleges that illegal immigrants can get into then maybe they should get off of the couch and start some hard-core studying. Our children are already considered one of the most uneducated needless to say not bright children in the world! If we pass the dream act we would have a higher rate for further education then we wouldnt be such “Lazy Americans” for a change.
If we give them a chance these bright bound for college students they might be able to change the world. Who knows maybe even a cure to cancer and find another earth but are we giving them a chance?

P.S. Whatever happened to the word ‘HUMANITY’? I can only speak for myself fore i am not a cold hearted american. Other people might be but not me.

Mark, I would have to definately disagree with you on this one. Although DREAM Act might provide in state tuition to the youth who would qualify under the bill, they would still have to pay out of state tuition while that process is enacted. Also its a commonly known fact, that every student who moves to another state has to pay out of state tuition! Residency is determined by how long you’ve lived in the state.

These kids should not be targetted. Its unfair and not very Christian as we must love our neighbors especially the young folks
