Mass College Giving Illegal Immigrants Scholarships

[mchammer187]

I am against giving undocumented immigrants (illegal immigrants) instate tuition or using state or federal funds to give them financial aid but this is a private school using private funding I am perfectly fine with this.

The illegal shouldn't be in the country though, he should be kicked out

Damn that Orin Hatch and his DREAM act!

"Hampshire alumni, graduating students, parents and other donors have given more than $300,000 since the spring to fund the scholarship and an endowment to sustain it."

"Justin Draeger, the president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, praised states, schools and scholarship funds that recognize this population of students didn't come to the country by choice. Most were illegally brought to the country as young children or infants."

If youre illegal why would you be allowed in the country? Why is it OK to break SOME laws but not others? This confuses me.

This is not a surprise. Mass. is the mecca of retarded ultra libs.

How did Mittens get the GOP nomination then if he was the "Imam" of said "mecca"?

Why is it OK to let illegal immigrants into the military?

Obama flat out stated he's not getting rid of them. We are going to have to live in a new america, influenced by their culture.

They shouldn't be though, they should have to do it legally

Yes, we only have one of the smartest populations (thanks MIT/Harvard) and lowest unemployment rates in the country, you idiot.

How many are home grown though?

I guess that entitles you to make lots of logical fallacies, right?

According to Wiki, Harvard is dominated by Whites and Asians...The folks from South of the border are not contributing to "one of the smartest populations". Blacks are not to thank for that either; Hispanics and Black Americans are under represented in Harvard, Whites are to but are definitely the largest block present. Asians far outpace their numbers in the population.

No, I prefer they go to college, get educated, and become productive members of society.

Survival of the fittest.

Besides, what you're advocating is the government intervention of a private institute. Why are you so interested in big government getting involved in every private affair?

Survival of the fittest? You're talking about Social Darwinism now? And if you are, it's not much of a Darwinian environment when people are getting scholarships.

This school should receive no federal aid or funding. There are millions of legal Americans who can't afford school or who are being swamped with debt.

Because Bush needed cannon fodder for his Middle East wars?

But considering that they cannot get a job after they graduate what is the point of wasting money educating them?

I mean other than so liberals can then claim later we should legalize them because otherwise we will have wasted the money educating them
