How can we turn them into taxpayers if they ILLEGAL and not even eligible to work in the U.S.?? We are educating them to take their skills elsewhere.
That is an absolute contradiction. Do you see any of them trying to leave? Their families are here. In their minds they “belong” here. To pay in state tuition they must be in the process of rectifying their illegal status so they most definitely will one day be legal taxpayers. Since there is no indication the federal government is going to do a mass deportation, I would personally rather have them support the system from within than spawn another generation of baby creating maids and lawn workers for us to support.
