Are you ok with illegal immigrants receiving in-state tuition and scholarships?

Just a blatant refusal to follow our federal immigration laws that are in place.

of course not. it's an insult. I am not a Trump guy, but I am in the same boat as him, my Wife was not born in this country, but she became a US Citizen legally when she was 20. It has to be done legally.

yes given how much of the manual labor work force they provide

somebody has to do their job, and many of our own citizens refuse to do it bc they think too highly of themselves. i think it'd be silly to exclude humans from scholarships who have ambition and a purpose, regardless of their citizenship status. scholarships are earned.

Why is it silly that I think it is not ok for an illegal immigrant take money out of my pocket?

You think it's silly to give a scholarship to someone that is not a natural citizen of our country over someone that was born in the US? That is the epitome of silly.

Two things

The question has been asked..... What's wrong at the RX.
Dumb assed threads like this. And the dumb assed cartoon filled threads clogging up the sports forums.

Second....... This wasn't a real question, was it?

There is an option not to read if you don't like it too.

Because where you were born matters far more than working hard for any achievement

In our society where there are laws and borders, yes, it does. The child can certainly gain citizenship and achieve all they want if they'd like too. That's certainly an option.

First I'm not for government taking your money and forcing you to spend it on something you don't want, but that's not the system we have. But would I donate my money to something like this? Yes I would. A kid that's been here since he was three went through school here and was the brightest and the best (genius), yeah I'd donate to that cause, because I want the brightest and the best doing the hardest jobs. I might need a surgery, or get a disease, and the best people might save my life someday, or maybe I die cause the best didn't get to be in that position to save my life.

I also have a totally different outlook on immigration than most of you. Someone's that's known no other life than that of an American, should probably get to be a citizen, plus I think immigration from our neighbors should be as simple as a background check, and getting a number so they can pay taxes.

What it really comes down to is personal choice. If I want to give my hard earned money to this, who the fuck are you to tell me how I can spend my money. Sadly our government raises money by theft though, but if that's the way it's going to be done and it's my fucking money and enough people agree with me that my/our money should be spent on this, then why shouldn't I have a say in how my fucking money is spent?

It's pretty pathetic how mexican immigration has become the scapegoat for a lot of people, as everything that's wrong. It's really bullshit and just an excuse for some people. Immigration is awesome, they do the jobs I don't want, which frees up my time to be more productive, all the while they are creating jobs, because they need to eat, sleep somewhere, they buy cars, buy phones, computers ect..

You could make the case that population growth doesn't benefit 90% of Americans, it might goose GDP which is essential in a Keynesian system but it really isn't benefiting most people.

Especially when the growth is disproportionately in the form of people that are largely economically worthless.

Immigration should be more merit based at the very least. If you're the most prosperous country in the world, why would you just invite anyone in as a social policy?
