Say WHAT ? Lower tuition for Illegals ??

Okay so, Im watching the news tonight and they did a blurb on the Bill, which is currently in Congress awaiting approval, thatwill essentially offer LOWER Tuition fees for children of illegal aliens AND for illegal aliens, period.

SAY WHAT ???

As a proud parent who was born and raised in the USA, who is currently struggling and wondering how in the heck SHE will be ableto help HER OWN kids (also born and raised in he USA) regardingCollege Tuition, I find this horrendous.

Forgive me but it seems a tad hypocritical to enable lower fees for Colleges in the United States for Illegal's and then bitch and moan about there being TOO MANY Illegal's IN the United States.

So this is going to help the current problems? Hardly.Will it decrease the number of Illegal's already here and/or wanting to live in the United States? No.So WHY is this a good thing?
SO MANY Americans are starving, homeless and struggling, including those affected by last year's disastrous Hurricanes and other disasters since, that I find it VERY hard to swallow that our Government is focusing on the needs of those who aren't even Citizens. Or, those who are, but their parents are not.

FOCUS ON YOUR CITIZENS!!!!! FOCUS on those who pay taxes per YOUR laws and Governmental regulations. FOCUS on those who sometimes have to miss a day of work because their gas tank is on empty and they don't even have the $5.00 it will take to put ONE SINGLE GALLON into it. FOCUS on the children of lesser-priveledged families who are struggling and barely making it, for reasons too many to list (disabilities, layoffs, in-between jobs...). WHAT ABOUT THEIR FUTURE?

Oh sure. There are Grants and Scholarships.But when you crunch the numbers, there simply is NOT enough Aid available via those routes to even begin to make a dent in the number of youth who truly NEED the help. Some extremely brilliant minds go to waste simply because 'there's not enough funds' or 'we're sorry but you were not chosen this year'.

Get a loan? Sure. So the student has to work 3 jobs to cover rent, utilities, gas for their car, books, school supplies, food, clothing, living supplies and to pay back the loan with it's high interest rate, and SOMEhow find the time to STUDY and actually get a decent grade in their classes? Yeah, right, THAT makes a LOT of sense.

I'm truly disgusted about this. The Tuition problem has existed for awhile now and I cannot BELIEVE that their solution, or part of it, isto LOWER Tuition for Students who are here illegally or who'sparents are here illegally.

I'm FAR from being a racist and yes, those children do need assistance but SO DO THE U.S. CITIZENS. What about MY children?? What about United States Citizen families and their children ???

I'd LOVE to get a response to THAT . I doubt I will though.

I am but 1 grain of sand on this Beach named: America. Step on me some more.

I'll bet you enjoy sitting in your leather-backed chairs with your Versace shoes and Armani suits and watch ALL us grains of sand, who have enough balls to speak up, get washed away with the tide as if they and the REAL problems never existed.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit on my 10 yr. old couch in my 4 yr. old pajamas (because I can't afford to buy for me; my kidscome first) and ponder exactly WHY I'm supposed to be Proud To Be An American.
