Does Mexico give people in their country illegally free money to attend college?
Via College Fix:
Some students in the country illegally have complained that the millions of dollars the University of California system recently pledged to help them earn a college degree will come by way of student loans instead of grants.
As UC officials discuss specifics on how the $5 million UC President Janet Napolitano recently budgeted to support undocumented students will be allocated – much of which will go to student loan programs, it’s been decided - some student activists have bemoaned that it’s not fair to strap stressed out, disadvantaged students in the country illegally with college debt.
“We think that the 5 million dollars will have an impact if the money goes directly into the pockets of undocumented students,” By Any Means Necessary campus activist group leader David Douglasstold The Daily Californian in an email.

My son will be graduating in May with his MBA and $70K in student loan debt. Hard for me to feel sorry for the students in California.

I will always support those trying to better themselves.
I will always oppose those who stand in the way of their efforts.

Let's take illegal immigrants out of the argument entirely.
I'll pick 2 states, say Illinois and Texas. Both "big" states with diverse cultures, now let's say students from Texas are able to get in state tuition and guaranteed student loans if they attend school in Illinois, but complain that they're loans they must repay and not grants. While the students from Illinois have the same situation, in state tuition and student loans they have to repay as well. Why shouldn't a student who is a resident of Illinois be upset that someone from out of state is getting the same tuition rate and gets the same loans but wants it so they don't have to pay like the resident of Illinois?

You can tell your grandkids they can always work in the fields if they want perks. I hear the pay is great, and they get to work outside.

Why bother? It doesn't seem to matter.
YA moreluck, celebrate the loss of thousands of jobs for californians. This train isnt designed for people in your age catagory. Its designed for the future of californians. The thousands of jobs that will be created both in the public and private sector will help revive california residents.
The future of travel in this country has to start somewhere, and as long as the republicans can delay the building of this rail, the more it will cost taxpayers.
In your story, every republican mentioned in it argues to delay the train as long as possible and NONE of them talk about the jobs that the project will create.
Why not embrace growth in california? Why not look beyond the messaging of the GOP? Why not look outside the box and understand that every job that will be created will take someone off of disability or unemployment?
Instead, you will argue to stop the project and then ultimately keep people on the goverments dole, then bitch about that.
TOS.
