I miss heard and clarified on a couple other posts. It is not a free-ride...Happy? OK, that said, Perry embraced
this and I don’t. Tell me would you like this program if Obama was embracing it?
Even if students are getting the out-of-state tuition waived, they are illegal and they are competing for student loans, scholarships, jobs, grants, etc. Since your family has students in school, perhaps you can appreciate the competitiveness of jobs, grants, scholarships, and loans??? Nice giving preference to students that by definition should not be here and then sharing the jobs loans and scholarships pool as well.
Never mind that it is illegal by law to do this and by law they should not be here.
I still think it is outrageous. In Illinois, they are allowing same program, so ILLEGAL students are getting tuition rates of $24-$19,000 versus $28,300-$33,500.
I am not a fan of it.
I understand some of the reasoning for it, and my understanding is that only about 1% of enrollments fall into this category, but I'm not a fan of it.
Do you seriously think that illegals (aka MEXICANS) plan 3-5 years out so that their kids can qualify for in state tuition? If not, then it isn't the magnet that some want to claim it is.
