So a deserving American citizen will be denied a chance to go to college, because this Massachusetts college is going to put political correctness, above the hard work of true American citzens. Wow Massachusetts, how stupid can you people be?????

If it were me, I’d be really angry.

I at least paid for my own education such as it was.

A FULL scholarship? Versus illegals taking out $200,000 in student loans and then skedaddling back home?

Sounds like a "Win-Win" to me!

Fine as long as it is legal, otherwise prosecution and fine for open defiance of the law. Perhaps, this administrator would enjoy a beating with a baseball bat in defiance of assault laws.

BTW, newbie, Wheaton college is on the west side of Chicago. My grandfather was a graduate of the class of 1905. Is this one of your honest mistakes?

Sad how blind so many are. There are so many Americans who would make great use of free college tuition, but instead, the liberal crowd once again puts refugees/illegals ahead of those who belong here.

Maybe the refugee/student can get a degree in computer sciences and be ready to compromise US intel at the first opportunity....like these guys?

Abid Awan, Imran Awan and Jamal Awan, are three brothers, foreign nationals who worked within the govt's IT department for members of the House Permanent Intelligence Committee and have been fired during a probe of security breaches on Capitol Hill.

The three foreign nationals (three that we know of) are currently being described as sketchy, rogue, govt staffers that compromised House Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs Committee Members.

Elected members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the high-paid suspects on a shared basis.

=============================================

Thank you, Wheaton College, and college president Dennis Hanno, for possibly endangering the safety and security of US citizens to demonstrate your hatred of President Trump.
