Scholarships For Illegal Immigrants Do you think illegal immigrants should be given scholarships to the university? If you watched the Republican debate last night on CNN, you probably recognize the issue. The debate has been discussed between Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney. Mike Huckabee supports giving scholarships to illegal imigrants to college, if they were in our school system since kindergarten. His argument was that we should not make children pay for the mistakes that their parents did. Do you agree or disagree and why? I disagree, there are many immigrants who pass through the right channels and to become American citizens who deserve to go to college. Stowaways are just that, we must enforce the laws already in force in our country when it comes to immigration. If you're white and middle class in the U.S. you can bet you'll pay for college out of pocket (we're currently in debt for about $ 60,000, and it will be closer & 100,000) when my son is done with school. If they want to attend college let them pay like everyone else. I do not agree with rewarding bad behavior. I do not agree with illegal immigrants ... This should not be given awards ... or any other benefit that is set aside for legal residents of the United States. If they want to go to college, let them complete the paperwork Heroes and become a citizen LEGAL! What is the word "illegal" politicians do not understand? Why give something special to someone who did not win? If an illegal is the age of the university, they can become a citizen. It is a process. I believe in the idea of scholarships, but I do not think we should give something to someone who has not gone though the process. It also creates a drain on a system that is in serious financial trouble. Giving something legal to "illegal" makes the "illegal" seem legitimate. I think they should be given two free benefits of our government. If and when they first guarantee scholarships for all deserving children who are here legally (and I mean all) then I could perhaps see my way clear to help some children illegal. Not all, not even the most just 1 or 2%. And then, if they are there since kindergarten. And they must be able to prove it. In other words each child is in college, who wants to be and then maybe help illegal immigrants. No, all deserving Americans who can not afford to go to college? Have we as a nation, just reward crime now? Absolutely not! My children will not get a free pass to college why some illegal?! Their children should not be allowed to go to school here, including kindergarten. They should all be sent home. I'm tired of paying taxes to support them. I do not think they should, in fact, I do not think they should get all the government benefits until they obtain citizenship or at least begin the process. Maybe after the process begins slowly they can receive government benefits. I am a parent, my children do not go to college (even with a son mensa) that I had no money and no support. Scholarships should be awarded on the basis of exactly one metric scholarship. If all schools do this as we see children doing more ... and more importantly, we would have more parents who pay attention and help their children to school. Posted on February 21, 2010.
