Federation for American Immigration Reform on In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens

[prek2phd]

Mr. Mehlman is correct. The parents of illegal aliens should be held responsible for the cost of a college education for their Illegal alien children. If a student applies for admission to a college or university and can not prove LEGAL residence in that state, they should be charged out of state tuition rates. The lack of a VALID social security number should be a red flag that they are not LEGAL residents of that state, or this country for that matter.

2.1 million honer sudents ?

get real

[prek2phd]

@hcwcars1 of course not. The Dream Act would apply to all illegal aliens between the ages of 16 and 30. That includes GED holders and the bottom 1% of their graduating class also. Amnesty plain and simple.

[43zeep]

Good job on Ira's part.

[tex03boy]

IrreplacablePerry: I Kept dreaming and I made it :D I also attend a University that consitantly produces educated hispanics. We are a threat to the dominant culture and it scares you that we are coming in mass numbers, LEGALLY and ILLEGALY. So go ahead and claim that we take jobs from you, that we are all on welfare, that we are uneducated, or my favorite...the fact that we can not assimilate to your culture. I'll bring my frijoles (beans) and tortillas to the table!

[moosehead5757]

NO we are not going to take care of their children. This is too much.

[moosehead5757]

Yeah this is what I am saying. YOU ARE HERE ILLEGALLY!!!! We dont care about their dream. Their parents broke the law and we are going to give them tutition. All of these forgein tratiors in politic office trying to give their people all they can get. NO THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY AND CANT JUMP IN THE FRONT OF THE LINE. DEPORT THEM!!!

[Dogzgonewild2]

If your here illegally you are a lawbreaker and the law says you get deported.........WTF is hard to understand?......they are wrong so they throw in the race card and all this bullshit and create problems.

Fix Mexican Government and throw the corrupt cheats in jail and take back Mexico , You have plenty of oil...

[kcornsilk]

This guy is a idiot.he is trying to tell us that Americans have not have not done Anything??I feel sorry for these kids But they need to cry to their parents Not us.

He is lying about them not taking space that American kids could have.Not to mention a lot of american parents can not afford college where Illegals are getting schooled for free at our kids expence.That is WRONG!

[redskins1111]

then I should go to Mexico or Canada illegally and get in-state tuition in those countries

[Capefear00]

Lets all sing koom bi ya , hold hands and embrace all the trespassers that pour across our borders. Just be prepared to have your taxes raised to build more prisons

[chivito10]

hr4321- hope it gets passed

[vivalaleta]

Are there no colleges in MEXICO?

[mmmbaconbits]

Numbersusa!

[hcwcars1]

deport now

[azrial4421]

I agree you are dumb and a waste of time

[azrial4421]

LOL your dumb

[sacsupreme1]

can't believe the guy said this is no different than immigration of the past. What bullshit. We never had ms13 in the past or the Mexican Mafia setting up drug rings in our country.

[azrial4421]

Sounds like you arguing with your uninformed self. Good luck with that

[azrial4421]

True, but the vast majority of undocumented people here are hispanic. We need to drop the racial sensitivity bullshit and help out the country.

[davidkate08]

it seems that the debate has been hijacked by the media, who paint everyone who doesn't believe illegal immigrants from any country, as a racist. unfortunately its an effective tactic

[azrial4421]

From my understanding the elite keep conflict between middle and lower class, so they can remain on top. Its pretty obvious illegal aliens should be deported, let alone be given scholarships. But the people in power that make these decisions dont have to deal with a family of 10 living above your 1 bedroom apartment while you pay crazy fucking tuition to live in a brown free neighborhood.

[kcornsilk]

@davidkate08

Not anymore.We are sick of it.and them calling us Racist and Nazi are falling on deaf ears!

[LcDog316]

If an immigrant with all the limitations posed upon him can make it to be accepted in UCLA, then the american who didn't, doesn't even deserve to whine about it. DreamAct is only going to support those who actually care about advancing in life and contributing to this country, not the typical hispanics who worth less then a pidgions waste. I myself am hispanic and I probably hate them more than a white supremacist. But to the ones that want to make it in life, deserve a fair shot, like the rest.

[IrreplacablePerry]

Keep dreaming.

[vongtayvietnam]

Immigration reform, the USCIS must serve better and faster for those legal immigrant applicants (customers paid required fees) before millions illegal immigrants get-in-line. Were so frustrated with USCIS officers worked in Tortoise manner; They getting good paycheck every month, sitting in comfortable rooms enjoy their life, while innumerable applicants suffering from their employers (I-485 application pending).

Vietnamese EB4 victim by USCIS pending case

[azrial4421]

while i put my self through school I am having to live in a "mediocre" apartment complex that is full of hispanics. not sure if all of em are illegal, but what i do know is they like to throw trash outside their doors and rat pack themselves in these apartments. one fucker slammed into my car and took off, I cant tell them to keep their garbage to themselves cause they dont speak english. they have no "great ideas" or morale

[GretchenMcarthur]

Im not sure on the age groups of the people making these comments but I think that yall have a real understanding as to the direction in which our country is heading. Yes, I totally agree with the comment made by pkripper1972, spot on my friend. With so many Americans against the idea of amnesty why than do our so call leaders ignore us?

[janeesiyan]

WRONG, Americans want Comprehensive Immigration Reform. the Republicans lost a lot of seats in the recent election because people want change.

[cwp91206]

So you think illegal aliens are God's gift to America who do no harm? Check out my favorites and playlists. Especially see these playlists-

Aztlan/Reconquista 101: Ideology of Hate

Aztlan/Reconquista 102: Declaration of War

Tan Klan 101: The Other Terrorists

[cwp91206]

WRONG, the Democrats won a lot of seats by running stronger against immigration than their Republican opponents.

[GretchenMcarthur]

I'm sorry that you have a lack of knowledge concerning Immigration, Most AMERICANS want our borders secured and the illegal immigrants sent back to where the came from or enter legally. Americans would also like to see the Abolishment of Birth rights, NO MORE anchor babies. Along with not having to take the food from their own childrens mouths, to pay the way for the illegals in Our Country (i.e. warefare). Please educate yourself first.

Sincerely, Gretchen McArthur

[ryindy]

There's a very simple solution for this.

Any Child that's here illegally, should return to their country of Origin and apply for a Student Visa.

[tyruler]

Melman is a disgusting bigot who admits children of immigrants had no role of coming illegally in this country, yet wants to punish them anyway.

What kind of a hypocracy is this?

[kcornsilk]

@tyruler

That is not what he said. He said it falls on their parents for breaking the law in the first place.And Our kids should not have to pay the price for the parents breaking into this country. And of course any one that does not agree with you is a Bigot,Racist, Nazi. I agree with him 100%.Think whatever you like.I Don't care!

[iprazhm]

The crucial point of contention here is the legal definition of immigrant. This man is confusing illegal immigrants with legal ones. Illegal immigrants, no matter the age, are criminals with only one right, to be deported after arrested.

[LorcaAdonai]

The united states was founded on Genocide.

[frostywomanfrizz]

I say kick their butts out of this country too.

[Willstruth]

Enough allready!We're allready paying for these cockroaches to breed and multiply and then their anchor babies get welfare until they're 18, and now we're supposed to put them at the front of the line in education ahead of our own kids and foot the bill to boot..Deport them all now or they'll be sponging off us for the rest of their lives

[smileytrucker]

Lets use some common sense here. 1. If we have 6,100,000 Americans unemployed then how in the hell are we going to employ anymore people. 2. We have a legal way of entering our country, if you refuse that way then you are illegal or performing illegal actions. Performing illegal actions or being here illegaly should be delt with by deportation. If their parents braught them here and its not their fault then give them a time limmit to become a citizen. If they dont meet the deadline. DEPORT them!

[hcwcars2]

Deport them all

[seriouslysad]

It's outrages that people from other countries can come here and Demand privileges.

[pkripper1972]

YOU KEEP ON SPOILING THEM, AND THEY WILL COME! LOOK AT THE 14TH AMENDMENT. THEY HAVE THERE BABY AND WHEN THERE BABY BECAMES 18 YEARS OLD THEN THEY CAN SPONSER THERE PARENTS AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE CONNECTED. SO YOU PUT THE PEANUT BUTTER ON THE GROUND, AND THE RATS COME AND FEED!!!

DESTROY THE BATE, AND THEY WANT COME!

1.corp greed

2. spoiled rich white guy wanting cheap labor

3. contributions from corperations

4. and the big daddy laraza which means the race in spanish!!

[databoney]

José Mario Molina-Pasquel Henríquez, Chemistry 1995, born Mexico City 1943. Of 309 US winners,I would say 10% are foreign-born, including Henry Kessinger, but omitting Al Gore. of the 113 won by the UK, there are also many foreign-broning including TS Elliot who was born in - the USA. of the 25 that Switzerland won, many are foreign-born as well.

[kcornsilk]

@databoney

What about Nobama just look at all the great things he has done for our country.

[calimar28]

Screw that! Get rid of the illeagls. Deport them! WE DONT WANT THEM

[ibilldavis]

dream act? you mean the Nightmare Act.

[stevebrahy]

That dude on the left started off by saying immigrants were responsible for many great inventions, ideas and Nobel Prizes. How many Mexicans fall into that category? HA!

[knoWbe]

REFORM IMMIGRATION NOW!!!

[databoney]

The interviewer , Heidi Collins, asks - what do you do? Simply, stop the 'don't ask, don't tell policy'. We provide free K-12 educ for these kids while ignoring their immigration status. Let's start asking and documenting their immigration status, then there wouldn't be so much of a surprise when these kids are ready to move toward university. Most of these illegal kids are eligible for an educational benefit in their home countries, which Americans can't get.

Ira should mention

[kerthialfad]

Mr Sala's comments about US as a nation of immigrants is inaccurate. And he's making that absurd statements that immigrants make all the academic achievement in American society. If this Dream Act is supposed to target on the outstanding exemplary top illegal residents students, then there should be a "cap" on the numbers. There is np suc "cap", and if implemented, this bill will drag millions into permannet residency status.
