LMAO! I would like the State Of California to give me a full refund for my education at CSU. Both undergraduate and graduate level. And yet illegals should get education for free. Or am I missing something here??

[Joe Hadenuf]

Bump.....

[Tancredo Fan]

The choice seems like a no-brainer. Saying no would be a no-hearter.

How idiotic. Getting Plyler vs. Doe overturned would be much better for America. I say round them out, pitch them back to wherever they're supposed to be, and let them fix whatever problems their criminal parents fled.

[Mears]

No one paid for my five kids' college educations but me. Who the hell do these people think they are?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Maybe we should just set bank robbers free and let them keep the money.

[Chi-Town Lady]

"But the kids do receive one great benefit — a free public education through grade 12. The law requires public schools to accept all comers, no questions asked as to immigration status."

Yeah they receive a benefit to them that is free. The rest of us have to pay for it. Just like these ingrates to take their free education (courtesy of American taxpayers)and then COMPLAIN because they cannot get more. Send their criminal parents and them back to where they came from!

[judgeandjury]

While the parents may have come or stayed illegally, the children had no say in the matter.

The children are also illegal aliens and should be deported along with their illegal alien parents ASAP.

[ladyjane]

The average American has no idea how serious the situation is. I have a number of friends who do construction. They can't compete against the illegals. Each ethnic group has a specialty. For example, the Vietnamese do the hardwood floors. Illegals work off the books and don't pay taxes.

[judgeandjury]

Some object because this would be just another inducement for illegal immigration, but it’s doubtful the dirt-poor people who come here are thinking that far down the road.

Another misleading statement from the left. Word spreads very quickly among illegal aliens, both those already here and those thinking about coming here. Illegal aliens know about every free giveaway and every social program (paid for by us taxpayers) and every loophole in our laws. If pregnant illegal aliens are wise enough to slip over the border right before giving birth to their new U.S. citizen baby, then they're probably very aware of all of the other goodies that they can get from the United States.

[dennisw]

Makes ya wanna vomit. I thought these illegals come here to do the jobs Americans just won't do. In that case their children should do the same, head off to the lettuce fields and the meatpacking plants etc. and most definitely don't reward criminality with legalization. They are citizens of Mexico or whatever 3rd world hole they wandered in from. Never citizen of the United States.

Reward illegal aliens and you'll only get a lot more. Give a lot Mexicans/Central Americans etc. the incentive to come here illegally with their children.

[harpseal]

But once that diploma’s in hand, life gets hard for youngsters with no legal permission to be here. They can’t get a driver's license or a legitimate job, and they can’t attend one of Arizona’s three public universities without paying $13,000 a semester for international tuition. You could be a valedictorian and captain of the football team for all the law cares, but now you’ve hit a dead end.

Let them immigrate leaglly to the USA if they wish to be here. Otherwise get out of my country. These people are not American citizens, and they are not even legal residents. Get them out now.

[wolfdaddie]

You are another liberal socialist who for some reason can not get your brain around the term "illegal". Try to extrapolate: with no limit on the number of illegal aliens in this country, soon to be with matricula consular ID cards, guess who will be voting "democrat" each election in order to get more from the public trough???? HMMMMM????

Talk about a no-hearter? As long as the carrot is there to entice more illegals and smugglers, more human beings will die in overheated tractor trailer rigs. You want to reduce the possibility of that happening? Close the borders and control the inflow of central Americans and Arabs, e.g. Al-Qaeda. Sorry, hsmomx3, you are wrong on this one. BTW are you a high school educated mother of 3? Bet you want to pay more taxes too dont cha?

[supercat]

Is there any legal or constitutional reason why illegal alien parents of citizens ("anchor babies") must be allowed to remain in this country?

I know, the odds of anyone having the intestinal fortitude to kick 'em out is pretty remote, but would there be any legal or constitutional problem with ruling that illegal alien parents of "anchor babies" are to be forbidden permanently from entering this country, under penalty of a ten-year prison term?

[LiteKeeper]

< SHOUTING > WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND????? </ SHOUTING >

[ETERNAL WARMING]

There are FEW jobs for American citizens, educated or not. Just what we need...more competition. Of course, the government and big business will love it. It will now decimate the wages of the educated just as the influx of illegals have decimated the wages of the blue collar workers. Ain't America great? Perhaps now, the educated will wake up and realize they've been had and a massive redistribution of wealth has taken place.

[Kuksool]

Would the editors be so sympathetic toward homeschoolers applying for college? I somehow doubt it.

[madfly]

Is this another name for the Dream Act? It's going to be a busy summer. I'll bet the University groups have been gearing up for the next 3 months to work against the racist, nonhispanics who honor the Constitution and the Immigration laws. Schools are not for learning any more. They are for indoctrinating and organizing, IMHO.

[dagnabbit]

Don't worry everyone. As soon as Clinton is out of office, this problem will be tackled.

[Fraulein]

Do NOT expect the Republicans to do ONE thing to fight illegal immigration.

We are fighting a war on terrorism while keeping our borders wide open. Explain to me how it is that in the name of fighting terrorism we can wage a war against Iraq while at the same time we leave our own borders unprotected?

American citizens break the law, and off to jail we go. Illegals break the law, and they just get more benefits.

Democrat and republican politicians are on the same side on this issue (though perhaps for different reasons), and hence voters are given no real viable policy alternatives on which to vote on this issue. We're just supposed to bend over and take it.
