Thread: ALIPAC: Should Colleges Enroll Illegal Immigrants?

The statements you hear from advocates for illegal aliens in favor of them having access to our colleges generally flow around their claim that better educated illegals will be more productive and will assimilate better into our society. This is not only fuzzy thinking, it is faulty logic. It’s very precept is that the illegal gets additional benefits to what they have already enjoyed by illegally remaining and operating here and gives a segment of them what they want – unfettered access to our higher education system (in addition to our primary education system that they have already utilized). This, of course, will be costly to the American taxpayer whether the illegal pays out of state tuition or not. It also deprives a deserving citizen or legal immigrant of the seat that the illegal would occupy. Another marketing campaign is that a child should not be penalized because of the ‘sins’ of their parents. Allowing access to higher education, however, allows the child to benefit from the fact their parents broke the law. Where does the rule of law fit into all of this? Actually, no where. The very act of allowing placement of an illegal alien into our colleges tears at the social fabric of our culture by favoritism to a group people who are out of compliance with our laws. These very same people would then be free to operate lawlessly living and working alongside of citizens and legal immigrants who have been required to abide by our laws. The dichotomy here is not only egregious, it is outrageous. It is anarchy.

Seats in colleges are a limited and highly coveted resource so why should we put an illegal alien into one?

Why should we be in the business of further educating and training a group of people who are illegally here and cannot legally be employed?

No, the undocumented have no right to in state tutition. If anything, they should pay foreign student rates like those who come legally do. Do you think the foreign students in our colleges now, paying higher fees to be here legally will continue the legal route if we open this door to illegal immigrants?
If we continue to allow this, these students will be the lawyers fighting for citizenship for all the world's poor. We are all one earth. These will be the teachers, teaching our kids that the US stole territory from Mexico. These will be the teachers that force our 6 years olds to pledge allegance to the Mexican flag in Spanish. ( This is happening in TX)
There are many legal immigrants allowed in college now. Why do the illegals think they should have the same rights?
