No, they are not.
Deport the parents when the kid applies.
I'll be happy to dialogue with you about the "Dream Act" but your answer didn't address my basic point about fairness and reciprocity. eg:
"However, ask some liberal if there will be reciprocity--equal access and 'citizen tuition' for US citizens to attend Mexican colleges. No Dream Act there.
Can you advise me as to why the United States has to make all the concessions for illegal immigrants?
'Nuff said.
Why not start with your daughter's friend?
My future daughter-in-law came illegally to LA with her parents when she was nine. She tells a very funny story about how her father and uncle went out during the LA riots in 19909?) and brought home televisions they'd looted from stores. Perhaps this says more about poverty than legal citizenship.
But her parents still cannont speak English because they work and live in an environment that allows them to function with Spanish only. They still consider themselves Mexicans.
She is the only one in the family that has obtained US citizenship--but she is properly attending college as a citizen, not as a foreign national residing in her state.
Mexico doesn't cut Americans any slack about their immigration laws or work permits.
