This thing will pass the Senate, but the House GOP will just let it die in Conference and or not bring the thing up for a vote just like they are doing with the Jim Kolbe/McCain bill.

First of all i dont think young illegal immigrants should pay the burden of being "illegal";even though, they had no say to come to our country. But thats not why im posting this. Im here to alert our citizens that If the U.S. could increase the college completion rate of 18-year-old Latinos by just 3 percentage points, projected Social Security and Medicare contributions would grow by $600 million, a 1995 Rand Corp. report found. By conservative estimates, the economic contributions of Latino immigrants aided by the proposed legislation would pay back a state's education investment -- including the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition -- within three to four years of their joining the workforce. Lets remember that these kids did not have a say to come here, and they have grown up with the rest of our kids, well at least my kid. And I just have to say that there are a lot of bright minds that should not go to waste.
