There are colleges in Mexico.
Here's the problem - and I have specific, personal experience via a friend of my daughter's. Her friend - a smart, hardworking, devout kid - is brought across the border at two. Finds out at seventeen, when he asks his mom to sign his drivers license papers, that he's illegal. Not looking for aid, but an honor student with college dreams, he's denied entry at any price because, in this state, that's how it works (different state to state.) Now you can say it's his parent's fault, he should go back, etc. But he doesn't even speak Spanish! What exactly is he to go back to? This is a kid who could make a real contribution - as a teacher, a doctor, what have you - he's got the brains and the character. But because of his parents choice, he's stymied. So we punish the innocent? Posters, stop your knee-jerk, and to my mind frankly unAmerican anti immigrant rants, and think it through. The system as it is doesn't work. It's time to fix it. Hatch is right.
