There is no evidence that ANY illegals are drawn to our country because their 2-year-old might qualify for in-state college tuition 16 years later. It’s a canard used to explain away the criticism of denying in-state tuition to americanized children with good grades, if a state wants to.
Oh wah, why doesn’t some Mexican philanthropist step in. Oh wait, they drug the kids in to seek a different fortune. Well they got the fortune they chose. Why does America have to make it any better than it is?
And, maybe illegals might be less inclined to stay if little Jose can’t get a deal at Texas A&M. Go home and go to some Mexican school.
But there IS evidence that illegal aliens STAY here because of it. It is not a canard. Nothing should be done that would encourage an illegal alien to come here or stay here.
