Colleges using coffers for financial aid to illegal immigrants stirs debate on immigration reform

Several U.S. colleges are giving financial aid directly to students who are young illegal immigrants, extending the debate about helping people in the United States illegally at the expense of Americans who are in need of similar opportunities.

Such opportunities have opened up since President Obama's 2012 executive action that deferred deportation to millions of young people brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents. However, they still are largely ineligible for state or federal student aid.

New York University -- which receives federal, state and city money -- says the aid given to illegal immigrants is not at the expense of American students.

Illegals should not be in America period. Just get in the line and get the proper papers done.

When anyone talks about comprehensive immigration reform, reach for your wallet and see if it's still there.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

With the kind of money most of these colleges have stashed away, there shouldn't be another damned dime of government confiscated money landing in their hands. :ranton:
