I’m proud of you and your children. I worked my way through, too, with a lot of help from my husband, parents and in laws, and those loans we’re paying off in spite of ever-changing regulations.
You didn’t read the part concerning the lack of documentation that so many of these people find themselves facing when they turn 18. The only papers they have are their transcripts from school. The courts have ruled that we can’t identify or “chill” the education of these children. That is the law we should be working on.
We’re not paying for the beneficiaries of the DREAM act. We are paying for the K-12 education of illegals. We need to stop them at the border, deport them early and often.
Other than for a few of the more elite colleges, there’s no shortages of slots in our State colleges and Universities.
However, if the National law allows them to be here and do well for 3 years in our High Schools, I’m for letting the ones who aren’t in gangs, who do well enough to get admitted on their own merit, to go to college. I would like to see college or military service toward citizenship in the United States as the goal of every family, rather than have them continue to stay - with the Feds’ active encouragement - and identify as Mexican or OTM partisans.

No the Supreme Court only gave illegal alien children the basic education elementry and highg school
just like any American child would get
The free lunches, breakfasts, summer lunch program, free after school etc that any American child DOES NOT GET was not part of the court decision..
(These thinks are for low income kids not everyone)
and a college education was not part of the court decision...
I would like to see college or military service toward citizenship in the United States

Why the option ???
What has attending college got to do with proving that an illegal alien is American citizen material ???
Just by illegal antering our country he or she has proven they are not...
If its so important why not just require the military service ???

Yes I did
And the so called “lack” of legal papers didnt start at age 18
and they do have legal papers somewhere
If they go back o their own country they will be legal and the papers are there
BTW When they reach 18 they are no longer “innocent through no fault of their own”
Now they are here illegally by their own decision
Its no longer only Mom and Dads fault
We are paying for both. State universities receive significant amounts of taxpayer funding. Yes, we should reverse Plyler vs Doe, which requires localities to admit K-12 students regardless of immigration status. If you read the decision, it is apparent that it was made on the basis that the costs were not significant. That has changed dramatically since them. Our schools are being overrun by illegals and the children of illegals, i.e., there are up to 400,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal alien parents. They automatically become US citizens entitled to Medicaid, food stamps, etc. just like anyone other citizen.
States ought not to be in the business of subsidizing illegal aliens. Every one dollar you make available to an illegal immigrant is one dollar you are not giving to one of your citizens. To grant illegal immigrants in-state tuition rates directly discriminates against non-resident U.S. citizens from surrounding states. That is a direct violation of the equal protection clause.
