I, as a nonresident of Arizona, although a citizen of the USA and taxpayer all my life, would not be able to receive instate tuition or state aid for education from Arizona. Yet there is an argument as to why an illegal who is NOT a citizen of this country is barred from receiving the same?
This is just ludicrous. Thats how insane this country has become.
< Additionally, since you are neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident, you are ineligible for Federal, state, and institutional financial assistance, as you are classified as an international student. >
When I earned my degrees, the Universities I attended had a separate rate for foreign students which were greatly higher than the out of state tuition.
Since these people are NOT US citizens, they should be made to pay the foreign rates, not just the out of state rates.
Its expensive going to school in Mexico over there because theres no such thing as financial aid, he said. You pretty much have to scrape it. But at least youre not worried that youre going to get deported.
Wow. Fancy that. In Mexico there is no free ride. So they come here to suck off the American teat to put their ass thru college.

If they are not in the country legally, how can they expect to have a job upon graduation? Why educate them if they are unemployable???????
I hate to say it but I think Nappy is a better governess than The McCainiac would be.
He’d probably get elected. The only McCainiac supporters I’ve met have been old retired military guys that just mumble “pow, war hero” and refuse to acknowledge that the guy is Hillary with fewer wrinkles.
The University that I attend has no such extra rate, but foreign students are ineligible for financial aid (including loans) and must jump through more hoops than other out-of-state students, including proving that they have financial support to the tune of tens of thousands a year.
Heck, I’m against taxpayer-funded “in-state” tuition for actual, legal residents. I’m strongly against illegals getting yet another benefit as well. They can go to college back in their home country.
Thanks for the handy list! I have printed out so many “costs” pages, but they have gotten lost in the stack. Will try to keep track of this one. Can use it when replying to the lies and misrepresentations and omissions in the editorial in the NY Times last Friday (One Argument, 12 Million Holes 1/18/08).
