    Senate Extends Scholarship Program To Illegal Immigrants

    Senate Extends Scholarship Program To Illegal Immigrants

    POSTED: 8:35 am MST March 2, 2005

    SANTA FE, N.M. -- The New Mexico Senate has approved a proposal to allow certain non-citizen residents who graduate from a New Mexico high school to receive lottery scholarships.

    The bill would extend eligibility for in-state tuition and the state-funded financial aid program to illegal immigrants who attended a New Mexico high school for at least a year and graduated or received a high school equivalency degree.

    Supporters said the legislation would help children of undocumented immigrants living in New Mexico -- some having worked and paid taxes in the state for many years.

    But Sen. Mark Boitano, an Albuquerque Republican, said New Mexico could see a flood of immigrants coming into the state to receive the scholarships.



    This is totally outrageous! I paid out-of-state tuition and never got a scholarship or asked for a grant. I also pay taxes, but I guess that doesn't matter since I am a legal citizen.

    This is stupid PERIOD. I know my parents sacrificed and worked very hard to send me to school. I helped pay my own way as well. Why on earth do US citizens have to struggle and pay for all the benefits illegal aliens are getting for nothing or next to nothing.
