Ummm...believe it or not, I don't have a problem with this. Once you get past the inflammatory headline, you'll see this isn't a "cross the border for free college" bill. It requires:

1) That the student must have attended a California high school AND graduated, so recent border-crossers looking for an education need not apply.

2) The illegal alien must first apply for legal residency, meaning that they will no longer be an illegal immigrant.

I have no problem with LEGAL, EDUCATED, and TAXPAYING immigrants...just illegal criminal ones working for cr*p wages and undermining our economy. This bill will help turn the latter into the former.

Then how about waiving the tuition for legal citizens, so that all have a fair shot at college? There are plenty of lower income and middle class families that can't afford to send their children to college. Why discriminate against them by waiving the tuition for illegals only??
