College for Illegals

Gee, it sure does sound altruistic, offering a college education to children of illegal immigrants. It even sounds like the Christian thing to do.

But it is neither.

We have all heard how taxpayers should not be required - or even asked - to foot the bill for sending illegals to college (most colleges are subsidized with taxpayer money). While that is a valid point, it is not the best point - or the most important one.

It occurs to me that most people are overlooking the most important point of all - a point that every parent trying to get their kid into college is all to familiar with. There are a lot more students wanting to go to college than there are spaces in colleges. Every decent college is limited as to how many students it can accept. For every illegal they accept, that is one AMERICAN student who cannot attend the college.

Personally, we need to take care of our own, first. Then, and only then, should we even consider educating illegals.

To extrapolate this point further, one must understand that the better jobs go to college graduates. By educating illegals at the expense of American students, the illegals will end up being the CEO's while American citizens become the labor force. As Oliver Hardy would say, "That's a fine kettle of fish."

This is an insult and a degradation to all Americans.

Tell you what. Why don't the liberals who back education for illegals try sneaking across into Mexico, and try putting their kids through a Mexican college. Under Mexico's laws, those liberals and their kids would all end up in prison!
