I feel sorry for the children and people from other countries that are unable to get a sound education. A lot of times I feel that many American children don't appreciate the privileged it is to go to school. Though the children try hard, I can understand where the American government is coming from. They gave him the opportunity to live here, even when facing deportation, and let him get a primary and secondary education. The American taxpayers are the ones that have to pay for him to get financial aid. Why should he be allowed to go to college for the same price as someone else who pays taxes?

My take on it is that:

1. The poorest American has it better than a lot of people in other countries.

2. We should help these immigrants get college degrees.

3. We should then send those immigrants back so that they can help transform their respective country. Otherwise, if we allow them to stay, it will create a "brain drain" that will have a negative effect on the rest of the world (while, at the same time, benefiting the U.S.).

Lets say the government changes its stance and we allow Illegal Aliens to get "financial aid' for collage or in state tuition, they fill out the paper work and have no income what so ever (all payments have been under the table) so the kid gets a full boat scholarship and an American kid (citizen) has to go to the community collage because no aid is available for the working family's kid and the last seat was taken at the good schools by an illegal alien. sounds fair to me! if I moved to Brazil would I get a free ride to collage?
