while there are MANY American children who struggle to find ways to pay for school or live 10-20 years in debt for the rising cost. This is WRONG.

If schools want to use their donations for illegals, fine, but a parent should NEVER see his or her tax dollars go to someone else's child who is not even an American citizen or legal immigrant. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

This country really has its priorities messed up.

I agree..the only tax dollars that should be spent on illegals is on border protection and a large holding facility to house them while awaiting deportation

If they're good enough to work in the states, spend their money in the states, pay their taxes in the states....then they're good enough for grants in the states.

So as long as other criminals work and spend money we should look past their crimes?

Paying their taxes? That's a damn joke right there.

Taxpayers should not have to pay the cost of anyone's tuition.

This country really has its priorities messed up.

If a kid can get into college and doesn't have means. . I say give them tuition. Im not sure I really care if you were lucky enough to be born in a specific place.

College students finish college. Give them citizenship. . .and tax them.

Maybe as a counter weight, we should start revoking citizenship for people who don't have a job and aren't in college by 21

A lot of illegals use "fake" SSN and pay taxes (normally no deductions since the SSN can't be verified). They end up paying pretty good taxes. . .far more than if they were actual citizens. I've seen this happen at my wife's ex-job. The idea that they never/don't is pure anti-immigrant propaganda.
