In state tuition is not cheap in Nebraska just cheaper then out of state tuition. I think that foreign students ought to get a work permit and be allowed to work pay taxes and get instate tuition after one year of satisfactory performance. As far as the children of illegal give them in state tuition too. They were brought to the US and in most cases it would be cruel to return them to where they came from.

Oh boo frickin hoo, it'll be cruel.

Cruel is maming women in the name of allah, simply for being women. Cruel is rape. Cruel is torture. Cruel is digging a hole and burying someone up to their waste, and then throwing rocks at them as hard as you can, until they are dead. Cruel is Saddam Husseins son, having his goons grab a newly wed couple, raping the wife in front of her husband, then throwing her out a window to her death.

Sending illegals back isn't cruel. Hard, yes. Inconvenient, yes. But cruel? ... No.

Our nation is $14.6 TRILLION in debt and adding $1.6 TRILLION to that every year.

In state tuition amounts to a subsidy. Subsidies are paid by taxes. Taxes paid by hard working Americans, so THEIR kids can go to school. Unemployment is at about 16%. There are about 160 million people in the labor force, with about 26 million unemployed. There are about 20 million illegals in this country. You do the math.

Being that unemployment is at 16% either a heavier tax burden gets passed on to those who ARE working, or the subsidies for education get tacked on to debt.

Illegals are more likely to use food stamps. Use public assisted housing. Use public assisted utilities. Go to the ER for any and every scrape cut or sniffle, because they will be treated and won't have to pay.

ALL THIS ON THE TAX PAYERS DIME.

Meanwhile OUR taxes go up, to pay for all this, meaning it gets harder and harder for Americans to live and MAYBE put THEIR OWN kids through college, and you think its CRUEL, if we should send anyone back to their third world country, when they DON'T LEGALLY have any RIGHT in ours.

How about the "cruelty" to those who came here legally, and did EVERYTHING asked of them, to become US citizens, who now have to pay out of state fees, while the criminal gets subsidized???
