Undocumented students live in Massachusetts without benefits

I guess they aren't including the welfare benefits their illegal immigrant families might be getting?

The MIRA representatives were careful to point out that "undocumented" does not necessarily mean "illegal." When lower tuition is not available, the students have few options.

"What are you supposed to do?" MIRA representativa Carlos Saavedra said. "Work at McDonalds for $6.25 an hour when you're the most talented kid in the school?"

I think that "undocumented" does mean "illegal."

Further, this is quote is a red herring argument. ( "What are you supposed to do?" MIRA representativa Carlos Saavedra said. "Work at McDonalds for $6.25 an hour when you're the most talented kid in the school?")

The solution to that is simple. Have merit based scholarships where valedictorians get scholarships. But of course we can't have that. Minorities and women hardest hit you know.
