Meanwhile, US citizens only have to pay $5 or $10 per unit. I have no problem with that because I wasn't a US citizen and neither my parents or myself were paying any taxes. So it makes perfect sense we have to pay more to get an education here. As a matter of fact, I remember we had to provide bank statement showing the ability to pay the tuition and expenses during my stay because international students are not allowed to work in this country.
Now to offer financial aid to the illegals is complete BS!  |
My ex-wife is Belgian, and that's exactly what we had to do to put her through college in Colorado. As a legal immigrant married to a US citizen, she was NOT eligible for in-state tuition or financial aid until her permanent residency was approved (which in our case took 4 years).
It's getting harder and harder to immigrate legally, so why are we helping illegals sneak across the border and paying them to go to college? If I tried that in any other country, they'd send me packing. It's going from the land of the free to the land of the free rent
