My school had a price for an in-state resident student, an out of state student and an over seas student. (God bless my Spanish roommate… he was the shit) This price was almost 10K higher for the foreign student. Tuition for me was 14.5K my freshman year up to 16.3K my senior year. It’s like 30K to go there now.

If an illegal brings their family to california… sets up residency at an apartment their kid goes to my school at the in-state price because they live in-state. Yet they are foreigners here illegally. This scenario is totally happening. and there is a slew of scholarships available for these people under the guise of 1st generation college student funds, etc. I think this is what Mat is referring too.

Mat,

I drink good wine! And I like to share!

Would you be willing to give up your slot in college for an illegal immigrant? Umm, this could effect you too my friend because of the simple fact that most colleges only have so much room for each class and you know that to be a fact. You also know that once a class is booked then everyone else has to pick another class. What if half the students in that class that you desired were here as illegal immigrants? Should they get priority over Alex simply because you were born and breed here? Bad metaphor but it fits… I think?

This issue goes back again and again to the federal government and fixing the damn problem of illegal immigration. When a Governor is fighting for the rights of non citizens in America and handing out what amounts to instant tax breaks then the system is broken or do you disagree? Can I apply for a refund as a life long legal resident if the class is full and my daughters can’t get into it?

Volley for serve Alex!

This line of reasoning leaves me silent.
