Eh, I’m sort of conflicted about this situation (and those like it). On the one hand, I strongly oppose in-state tuition (or any sort of federal/state-backed financial aid) for illegals, so I agree that she shouldn’t be at Berkeley if she can’t pay for it. On the other hand, this kid was 6 months old when her parents crossed the border, so I do feel badly for her. Still, I agree with the outcome...
I’m not conflicted. Much like the Yankees who steal everyone else’s star players, we the US should go about stealing everyone else’s star students.
I would like to have merit scholarships given to a whole bunch of top rated foreign and/or domestic students. We want those people here.
A lot of the low level laborers we can do without.
It’s California. I’d bet my shoe collection that she is only paying in-state tuition. Still, it’s a University and more expensive than the State Colleges for anyone who attends. We don’t GIVE that away, nor should we.
One does presume her parents prepared her for the future by making sure she is literate in Spanish.
