    Tuition-payers don't subsidize scholarships, since tuition doesn't pay the full ride. Donors and philanthropists are the ones who fund full-, partial-, and non-tuition-paying students.

    I don't believe that for a second. I'm sure thats what they say happens, but between funding they receive and tuition, they can't account for specifics.

    Who are you talking about? They? I promise you the Gates foundation has accounted for their donations. One of the great things about our country is the generosity of folks who donate to put kids through school...a lot of athletes do this as well...there are many things to complain about in the world but scholarship donations isn't one of them. My son got a full academic scholarship to OSU and he worked his butt off for it......he's grateful that he graduated without huge student loans. Believe what you like. I found them to be very meticulous in their accounting for information. Try applying for a scholarship and I highly doubt you'll run into anything that's not accounted for and documented

    So what's the answer? It's not like these kids came here on their own. They went to school, they worked hard, earned a scholarship. Did you want to deport them for this? Only say they can go to college if they pay for it? Should the college or university help them to become citizens before they're allowed to graduate?

    Nobody complained when we were stealing brilliant scientists, mathematicians and engineers from Russia or the Nazis back in the good old days...or gave them tenured jobs in our best universities. We've always attracted talent from more oppressive systems. Most people think of a guy like Bob Hope as the consummate American but he's from England....actually look back a few hundred years and the vast majority of us have foreign ancestry

    I dont think people have an issue with immigration. I sure dont. What i dont agree with is illegal immigration. It is unfair. People that want to come here legally have to wait years at times to get here.

    If your name is Einstein, you'll get legal status pretty quickly or if you're a Cuban with a 95 mph fastball...if you're a landscaper...good luck

    Sure. Seems it would be the same way for lots of countries. Took my stepsister (she is 40 now) 10 years to get over here to be with her mom and brother (he got to come because he was 15 when she came over).

    Foreigners go to school here on scholarships all the time. Student visas are handed out to anyone who gets accepted. I don't see how this is a big deal.

    Yeah, that's through a legal process of sending in an application and filling out paperwork. Nice and organized. If it happens "all the time", then its not too difficult I would assume.

    A little different than running across a desert in defiance of international law and faking your identity.

    You don't need to do that though...apply for grants and take courses at a community college..or online if you can finance it all. You can get a degree here without going deep into debt...not an advanced degree though
