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.

It's not that simple. There are many different types of undocumented people. Many are in the process, which is ridiculously long and difficult to navigate. A lot of people are stuck waiting, or they came with family. Subsidizing education and job training makes America better, no matter if they're full citizens.

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.

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.

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

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.

How good of a student were they, and do they have plans to continue thier future studies to the best of their abilites.

 @9G29XVFIndependent from Massachusetts  disagreed…3yrs3Y

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.
