Illegal Immigrants: College Education Courtesy of Taxpayers

Posted by: Jessica Austin | 07/28/2008 8:02 PM

The San Bernardino Superintendent of Schools has just issued a new brochure to inform illegal immigrants of their "right" to pursue higher education in California.

Accordingly, a state law (AB 540) allows longtime residents, which includes illegal immigrants, to pay in-state tuition fees at public colleges and universities.  On the national level, the Supreme Court has ruled that illegal immigrants are entitled to a "free" public education  from kindergarten through 12th grade. 

The brochure is available, of course, in both Spanish and English.  Regardless of partisanship, those of us whom pay taxes should be furious.  Read the full story here

This is utterly ridiculous that not only do we allow illegal immigrants to stay, but that we pay for their education and healthcare as well- and now we are advertising our "generousity"?  Is it just me, or has someone been drinking San Francisco's Kool-Aid?  

Education is the key to success in life.  But perhaps what we should be "educating" our  politicians and illegal immigrants on is how to become a legal citizen of this country- and not how persons here illegally can milk the system.

WOW!! Americans in contiguous states have to pay out of state tuition, but illega alien nationals of a FOREIGN NATION get a break. Oh well, the apathy and unconcernedness of the California, indeed, the American citizen is going to take them a long way--DOWN. We must be some of the stupidest people on earth.
