Ya think?

Illegal aliens: Give us your taxpayer supplied money!

Connecticut: Did you want cash or check? Silly me, here's the cash.

The college should alert DHS to have those “students” picked up.

I would rather send the money to Mexico to provide scholarships in Mexican Universities for poor Mexican children. These ingrate illegal aliens need to go back and fix their own countries or be leeches back there. Deport any illegal alien that applies for grants or student loans in the United States. They can complete their education in their own countries.

“As the General Assembly convenes Wednesday to fill a projected shortfall of $1.4 billion — just months after plugging a $900 million hole by cutting spending — lots of people will agree the state is broke.”

More leftist social engineering and government interest-farming by the left, paid for with massive debt in our printed, fiat currency.

“for those in the country legally.”

How about we think about native born first?

I thought these aholes came here to work for low wages and do the jobs Americans don’t want to do.

Check with their home countries. Do they supply financial aid to those in their country illegally? If not, then there is a simple answer to this issue.

[Not that we have to follow the lead of countries from which their citizens are fleeing. But it may make more sense to these foreign invaders if it’s put to them, ‘You are already treated FAR better than your home country treats foreign invaders.’]

Mexican public universities are darn close to free for Mexicans. I suggest they all go there.

If you work hard, keep your nose clean, obey the law you can be TOTALLY DICKED OVER by those who don’t.

Isn’t modern America great?

Well if you didn’t like it, you’d vote against it. LOL! :D

No group acts more entitled and is less grateful than illegal aliens and their spawn.

Only fools romanticize or reward them. California knows.

IMO, you missed a YUGE point: “...TOTALLY DICKED OVER by...” the same govt instituted to protect/defend our borders, ENFORCE the Law and defend the Rights of We the People (aka ‘the *dicked*’).

Amazingly, some around here still believe we live in a Republic and ‘fighting within’ is an option...
