Are you saying that you need to be a minority for this one?
No I’m saying there are a ton of grants out there provided by the government that they qualify for because of who they are and not necessarily by merit. The different grants available from the government for various groups is mind boggling. Besides, we are a nation of laws not of men. That is the great equalizer. When we become a nation where we raise people above our laws it raises the “needs” of one group over the rest of the country.
The main argument seems to be “but it’s not their fault!” If my father is a great guy & a hard worker but he drives drunk and kills 3 people that action is going to affect me for the rest of my life. That clearly isn’t my fault, it’s his. We bend over more for these children than we do for children of our military whose parents die fighting for their country. Those college education dollars for these young people come from private foundations. Why not offer in state tuition to these kids in any state they want to live in?
Oh, and even without the grants (and let’s not forget government loans), yes the people do pay for children of illegals even if they don’t get financial aid. There are usually thousands of dollars different between in state and out of state tuition. Who absorbs that cost difference?
