Should Colleges Enroll Illegal Immigrants?

Immigrants can get an education. ILLEGAL immigrants are NOT citizens of the United States. For each UNDOCUMENTED immigrant who gets a college seat, a qualified AMERICAN CITIZEN will be declined!

Colleges can not support unlimited number of students. American citizens should get every opportunity before those who are not citizens... ESPECIALLY those who have flaunted the law to be there!

What other country would allow this? Mexico?... maybe free education while you sit in jail. China? Maybe free education in your next life -after being shot. Maybe Canada? Go directly to jail -do not pass Go...

When will people get that the United States can not support unlimited people who choose to come here in a way that ignores our laws?

Why in the world do you think California is in the mess it's in???

Are people really this stupid?

I dont know why people are such haters on illegal mexicans when they struggle so much.everyone has a right to an education and they cant get financial aid more the less a free college education. its hard to find out that in reality illegal mexicans cant get the education that they want when most of them were brought here by there parents at a very young age.also I can bet that illegal mexicans do have some of the best grades because the work hard to be seen as better people not just criminals.its hard for illegal mexicans to excel abd dream big when there education is cut off!!!

i think all illegal immigrants should have the privillage to attend college and the university . it's their dreams to get an education and become someone better. if their parents didn't recieve an education, they would love if their children will.

Whether the tax dollars go towards benefiting dog food or such as over achievers trying to pay for their Harvard tuition, your going to end up paying anyways. So why not benefit any student body that wants to expand their knowledge by continuing education whether they are Hispanic, Black, White, Asian; doesn't matter. Its seems that every generation there is a racial controversy going on and it will continue no matter what. I find lots of ignorance in people who cant distinguish between legal and illegal.

By reading the previous comments I found lots of greed with angry parent mad over why should "illegals" not be able to attend college. Its hard for me to wrap my head around how can two different groups have so much hate towards each other when " Every man is created equal".

And YES I am an "illegal alien" attending Harvard University majoring in robotics, and YES im paying for my schooling with my money, and YES my parents are also "illegals" paying taxes

Im A Citizen Daughter Of Two hispanic People Who Immigrated To The U.S And Gladly Got To be Residents.So I've read a couple of pages saying that illegals are "criminals" really are they that much of a difference from any other person just because someone is from a different country its not being a criminal.

If our government was doing its job they would not be enrolled in any public schools. We could have stopped a lot of the illegal activity before it got out of hand. Now we taxpayers should pay for their college education. NO way. My grandchildren who are citizens can not afford their education and are struggling. My tax dollars should Not be going to illegal's education, but to our American children.

NO No No Our tax dollars should benefit the children of the citizens of this country first and formost.

They can graduate from college but not use the degrees that the tax payers have subsidized them to get. Really. Why not put that $ towards someone who can work in the US legally.
