No

It is better to get undocumented immigrants into the public college system so that they can earn degrees and contribute to the economy. They are not wealthy and for all practical purposes, resident of the state. So, given them an opportunity to pursue college education will ensure that they come into the mainstream, become valuable citizens, pay taxes, and overall contribute to our economy. It is to the advantage of the community to offer undocumented immigrants in-state tuition.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

Yes

 @9FQK4YQ from Washington disagreed…6mos6MO

Why would we give an illegal immigrant in-state tuition prices while we tell the young adult that worked hard to get the grades to get into that school in that state that they have to pay a higher price? When you give to one group out of pity for their situation, you're telling all the other groups from the poor to the rich that that person is more important than them, that person is better than them, and that person deserves more. When you do that you create a hostile environment that breeds hate.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…6mos6MO

So then surely you believe in providing free/accessible higher education to all people, right?

 @9F8B5FV from New York disagreed…7mos7MO

no they should not because many Americans are struggling to find jobs, get into colleges and lack the support they need when they need help with providing either for their family or themselves. many illegal immigrants are taking our jobs and causing more poverty and over population in certain parts of our country and its not fair that they can come to our country and take our jobs or have the government support the when our own citizens are struggling and are not getting much help if any because of them.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…7mos7MO

So then do you support guaranteeing free college to all US citizens, or do you actually just hate everyone? Because you can't just use "Americans" as a prop to further deny resources to immigrants if you don't even actually support providing free resources to citizens either...

 @9FSZF2Q from California agreed…6mos6MO

I believe undocumented students should have the same opportunities as every other citizen in the US in education .

 @9F84RFS from Texas agreed…7mos7MO

for example like honduras people are suffering because of the president he wants to make the country socialism.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

No, and all illegal immigrants should be deported

 @9FND73T from Tennessee disagreed…6mos6MO

If they have done nothing illegal like selling drugs or any felonies then they should get in state tuition the same as everyone else.

 @9FMYNHWDemocrat from Illinois disagreed…6mos6MO

All immigrants should not be deported, especially if they are becoming legal soon, they did all the paperwork and stuff so there is no point for them to be deported if they have a chance of becoming legal.

 @9F94V55 from California disagreed…7mos7MO

In my opinion, illegal immigrants should not be deported because this country is full of them, In the crop fields, the fieldwork is handled by immigrant people since they are masters in the fieldwork, and it is also an opportunity for them in the question of having a more comfortable life in having a place to live or something like that.

 @9F8BKNV from Pennsylvania disagreed…7mos7MO

they shouldn't be deported because if they are here in the US it's for a better life They should be able to stay if they are here for a good cause and not get deported.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

Yes, and they should also be eligible for financial assistance and scholarships

 @9FL7LY4  from California agreed…6mos6MO

The Center for Migration Studies of New York estimates there are more 1.7 million highly educated undocumented immigrants 18 and older in the United States. Approximately 1.9% of all students enrolled today are undocumented immigrants. Colleges already accept undocumented immigrants into their degree programs. They have the motivation to pursue their American dream, which is what brought them to the US in the first place. We should help them become contributing members of society, pay their taxes, and help strengthen our economy as a whole. It is also allowed for immigrants of any legal statu…  Read more

 @9FP8WVMRepublican from Georgia disagreed…6mos6MO

By simply accepting these undocumented immigrants into public Universities across the country, we are giving them no incentive to get to the point of paying their taxes, strengthening the economy, or even becoming legal citizens, because they have clearly already been shown that there is no need to do the work required for it. They are going to get accepted anyway without having to pay taxes to support the university that they're going through, giving them an unfair advantage agains legal children trying to get into to college but struggling to pay because of the taxes they are having to pay.

 @9K7ZGQ9Socialist from Montana disagreed…1mo1MO

Yes, as long as they pay taxes

Illegal immigrants already pay taxes, they’re automatically deducted out of their income

 @9FNL5C6  from Georgia disagreed…6mos6MO

Why should a criminal be granted financial assistance when they should not even be here. If an immigrant is suffering in their own country they should apply for citizenship and pay taxes. Then I will support them.

 @9GC6NF9 from Texas disagreed…5mos5MO

If Biden has raised taxes, lower tax brackets can't help their kids pay for college. College should be free or at least at a lower price because $10,000 a year for school is crazy.

 @9G29XVFIndependent from Massachusetts disagreed…6mos6MO

Those who earn scholarships are those who should be rewarded based on ability, skill, and determination. The scholarships should have nothing to do with social background. Financial assistance should be given to those who need it.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

Yes, as long as they pay taxes

 @9FLX3PZ from Washington disagreed…6mos6MO

everyone should pay taxes, even if you are illegal. but that still doesnt give you the right to vote.

 @9FND73T from Tennessee agreed…6mos6MO

They are paying taxes the same as everyone else they deserve the same opportunities as long as they have not been convicted of any felonies.

 @988NV6X from Virginia agreed…1yr1Y

People who pay taxes should be offered the same rates as others no matter who they are, if they consider themselves American, who is the government to stop them.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

No, they should pay the same rate as out-of-state students

 @9FND73T from Tennessee disagreed…6mos6MO

They have the same opportunities as everyone else if they pay taxes and have no criminal background.

 @9GRZP64 from California agreed…5mos5MO

They should pay the same rate because if it was unequal and if people just came to America so they pay a lower rate of pay than in-state students it would be highly unfair to the people who actually live in the country

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...10yrs10Y

Yes, but deny eligibility for financial assistance and scholarships

 @9GRZP64 from California disagreed…5mos5MO

If you deny eligibility then what's the point of trying hard for good grades or whatever if it's impossible for you to go to college with a scholarship? You'd basically be losing hard workers for nothing by revoking their right to financial assistance and scholarships

 @53JFHTCfrom Massachusetts answered…3yrs3Y

It is hard to deny anyone an education; the real answer should be to minimize or eliminate tuition all together.

 @9GK257PDemocrat from North Carolina answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only if they’re confirmed to be in the process of seeking citizenship in their chosen state

  Deletedanswered…7mos7MO

 @98HKX4L from Arkansas answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and they should also be eligible for financial assistance and scholarships and grant them citizenship

 @9D6RZ6G from New York answered…8mos8MO

Current in-state tuition prices should be the tuition prices for all students, including immigrants.

 @PleasedNominationLibertarian from Texas disagreed…8mos8MO

While it's understandable to want equal tuition prices for all students, it's also crucial to consider the financial implications for the state. In-state tuition rates are typically subsidized by state taxes, paid by residents. If all students, including those who are undocumented immigrants, are offered these rates, it could potentially strain the state's education budget. For instance, in California, a state with a significant immigrant population, this could lead to budget deficits or cuts in other important areas like healthcare or infrastructure.

However, I do see the importance of affordable education for all. Maybe there's a middle ground here? Perhaps a tiered tuition system or scholarships specifically for undocumented students? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
