Who's paying for it? That's a slap in the face to families from other parts of the world that spend big money to send their kids to US schools legally.

The sanctuary campuses are so the illegals can have a safe place where they won't be deported. I'm not sure how that works.
It doesn't work.

If the government wants to deport the illegals, it will. If not, it won't. "Sanctuary campuses" will be completely irrelevant either way.

That could be.

I do find it interesting that people don't mind opening up their wallets and pay out of their earnings 25 - 30 percent of their earnings to salaries of an inefficient government, yet, they have a problem with people trying to get an education.

We are people before we are of God, or of Country, how is it, that people don't seem to realize this? During the civil war, there were folks who hid people in their basements, because they knew the right thing to do and the legal thing to do, where at odds, one against the other. We are on the verge of facing a very similar situation ... if not the same.

Perhaps the college students that are in protest, see people, not money, where as others do not recognize one exclusive of the other.

Who said that we don't mind? I pay quite a bit more than 30%. I mind. A lot.

This is 2016 and we're talking about illegals who aren't hiding & haven't been hiding for years. Illegals who are proud to be committing a crime (just by being in this country) and have no issue shoving their illegal status in anyone's face.

Which speaks to their lack of knowledge when it comes to how
"It Works" and who pays for what at their "college" for these illegals...and has.

They see an anti-Trump platform to protest/march against/whine about. Because that's the new "cool" thing to do.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Not all people are jumping on Trump's band wagon, just as not all people jumped onto Obama's ... they all have/had good reasons to stand apart and not join, beyond it being a 'cool' thing. It is my understanding that not all people are that shallow.

If you mind paying that more than 30% in taxes, tell me, why do you continue to do so?

No, they don't.

These kids aren't shallow, they just have zero clue as to how real life works beyond their "I'm a GROWN UP, YAY for ME!" years spent in college.

Third party options for the unbrainwashed citizen.

On the college aged, are you speaking from experience as one who was that age once?

And where is your big old solution to not paying taxes?

Useless? And the R & D have done so well ... enjoy paying those taxes.

Dorm room? That's rich.

Keep in mind that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Think of that when you cast your vote in 2020.

Just like your posts on this thread.

Still waiting for your advice as to how we can all legally evade paying taxes?

Do tell?
