Prove it


Probably can’t but I doubt there is one American that was unable to find a college in Texas to attend if they were qualified. It may not have been the one they wanted but that isn’t unique.

Over 12K in 2010 alone.

There are never thousands of vacant seats in state colleges just begging for more students. Each illegal alien displaced a citizen. Your suggestion that those 12K+ citizens should have been shuffled off to their second- or third-choice schools to make space for illegal aliens is REJECTED.

In many cases, including my own, the only way for a student to afford college is if they can commute from home — so shuffling them off to a distant school is effectively denying them college. Not every school has a good program in your own field of study. In my case, the next closest school was over 100 miles away and would have precluded commuting.
