Elite universities giving undocumented students full rides.

yeah, his parents did it for him.

 

Why have any debt at all? I can just lose my ID and go to Georgetown! Then I can have my safe space on campus so that I don't face deportation when I fly home. Georgetown can harbor my illegal ass too, all on the backs of funding they receive whether it be federal, local, or boosters! woohoo!!

So what does that matter. He (the guy in the article) is an illegal immigrant. His entire family (which are undocumented) should be sent back to their originating country and apply to become citizens the CORRECT and legal way.

 

You don't have to be a citizen to go to a school anywhere....nothing stops you from getting a degree at the University of Tonga if you want to...and just how do you know what this dude's circumstances are? He's not hiding from anyone or losing his ID....you aren't illegal with a student visa first of all..

 

Bullshit, it would make them go home.

 

It's pretty simple Sly. You break the law you pay the price. Except in this case, people keep forgetting that Illegal Immigration is against the law. Harboring illegal aliens is against the law.

The US Federal Government cooperating with local state/city police should take these people back to where they belong and then they can work with the proper channels to get legal status.

Georgetown should get sanctions against themselves for providing benefits/harboring to illegal aliens.

 

Where do you think these schools get their funding dude? Taxpayers and of course donors/boosters/etc. WE are paying for these 'free rides' one way or another and it's not right. America should not be responsible for illegal immigration education.

 

Georgetown isn't harboring them....they are guaranteurs..which makes them sort of fiscally responsible if they screw up..that's any companies choice. I had a college guarantee my green card working overseas and it wasn't an American college...this is not unusual...thousands of American kids are studying abroad and teaching English under the table all over the world...really common...and they get paid about 2 times as much as the local English tutors...goes both ways

 

If every free thing that we give them was never offered they would have never entered the country in the first place.

Break in my house, I'll get my wife to give you the best loving you ever had.


Then I'll somehow be surprised when every criminal in town breaks in? I think not.

 

i think you are missing the salient points of this article.

1. these kids did well enough in school to earn a scholarship to an elite university. all this "maybe i should throw away my license and get a free ride!" nonsense, is well, nonsense. if you were desirable to elite universities, you would have also been in consideration for a scholarship. im just guessing here, but lets just say, you weren't.

2. Georgetown is a private university. unless i am mistaken, they fund scholarships and student aid privately. and as people who have seen patrick ewing nude can attest to, they are very well endowed.

3. this isnt a new thing. "In keeping with our Catholic-Jesuit tradition, Georgetown has a long history of admitting students regardless of immigration status. Georgetown University is committed to ensuring that our students have the resources they need to attend by meeting a students' full financial need."

4. although he is undocumented, he is in the country legally under the policies of the DACA program.

i mean seriously, of all the things to complain about... maybe go back to whining about protesters?

 

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
written by Lazarus....in reference to the Statue of Liberty...

This poem was written as a donation to an auction of art and literary works[3] conducted by the "Art Loan Fund Exhibition in Aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for the Statue of Liberty" to raise money for the pedestal's construction.[4] Lazarus's contribution was solicited by fundraiser William Maxwell Evarts. Initially she refused but Constance Cary Harrison convinced her that the statue would be of great significance to immigrants sailing into the harbor.[5]

"The New Colossus" was the first entry read at the exhibit's opening, but was forgotten and played no role at the opening of the statue in 1886. In 1901, Lazarus's friend Georgina Schuyler began an effort to memorialize Lazarus and her poem, which succeeded in 1903 when a plaque bearing the text of the poem was put on the inner wall of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.[4]

The line "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" has read "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" on the plaque hanging inside the Statue of Liberty[6] since its unveiling in 1903.

The original manuscript is held by the American Jewish Historical Society.[7]

 

You contributed fine, until you called people racist. Go back to your hole bud.

Also you are mistaken on #2, it receives funding from the DOE each year.

#3 doesn't make harboring illegals legal, regardless of their tradition.

 

Is he a legal resident of USA? If not, your answer is right there in front of you.

I disagree with them giving scholarships to illegals because some of their funding comes from the Dept. of Ed., which comes from our pockets ultimately. However I won't disagree about there needing to be more/or faster avenues for getting illegals legal. I just dont think they should be able to stay in our country while doing so, unless they've followed some sort of process to allow that.

 

You know anybody can get a free ride in Scotland? Germany too. And there it really is taxpayers footing the bill. Amazingly enough, they don't seem that outraged.

You know what I think is unfair? People thinking they deserve a higher standard of living because of the accident of their birth, while simultaneously thinking everyone else can go fuck themselves. What makes it all-the-more galling is that it's not as if this country wasn't stolen by its current inhabitants, so getting on the high horse is pretty rich.

 

Actually, since they have no reason to be here, and it is illegal, encouraging them to go home seems prudent. Having no school available is an appropriate encouragement.

 

That's a gross assumption Marz .....a lot of people have good reason to be here...some particularly from Nicaragua and Honduras are fleeing for their lives..amnesty is a case by case issue
