Is CCM offering a free pass to illegal immigrants?

1:45 PM, Mar. 4, 2011

Part of a recent Opinion page headline read "Why not educate all" concerning CCM in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants. Taxpayers have already provided free education for illegal aliens, in some cases 12 years. County College of Morris is seen by some as providing a free pass to those who have no legal right to be here.

Just because an illegal alien is in our country does not mean he or she is American, nor does it mean he or she wants to change country allegiance. Some only want to make America an annex of their country of origin.

We can no longer afford to be the "social service agency" of the world. There are taxpayers who cannot afford to send their children to college because of our economic times.

Our government currently has immigration laws that call for deportation for illegal aliens. Unfortunately, due to political fear, the laws are not enforced. There is no amnesty for undocumented immigrants.

CCM is only providing another magnet for foreigners to enter our country illegally: live without the burden of paying taxes, expect free education, no fear of deportation, don't bother to learn English and, since you are on American soil, expect citizenship.
