What are your thoughts on illegal immigration, especially when it comes to something like this:

I'm curious to see how North Americans respond vs. Europeans. Kiwi's I guess too. but you don't really have "borders" per-say :o |

It is private funded scholarships, they are free to do whatever they want.
Also illegal immigrants that are trying to better themselves is a good thing. |

| They're cracking down here in the UK on foreign students because many Indians have exploited the rules, come over on a student visa, then not attended the school & disappeared not to be seen again. |

I live in california/little mexico and I think we should just legalize the majority that have clean records but....make them pay a fine/tax/fee whatever over the course of say 5 years. Take it out of their paychecks, the state gets much needed money and the illegals become legal.
Or....kick them all out and make the lazy Americans who want to live off the system do the jobs that only illegals will do. Impossible to do but I can dream. |

Like the article says at the end of college they are still illegal immigrants.
Question for people from California. Is illegal immagrant students the majority in schools or just a few per grade or it just depends on where. |

| You don't need a permit to go from South Dakota to North Dakota. Likewise, I don't see why it should be illegal to move from South America to North America. If bureacracy gets on the way, fix the laws, not the people. |

reciprocal bureaucracy sir. Americans require Brazilians to have visas, ergo Americans need visas to travel to Brazil.

the majority of students in CA universities are Asians/Latinos. I would imagine the ones that immigrated did so legally because I don't think you can attend a CA university without legal residence. |

I'm in support of anything that helps illegal immigrants who want and choose to better themselves, while of course contributing to their communities and the country that they live in.
These are privately funded scholarships. There's really nothing to argue here.
I don't support anyone who doesn't at least try to be productive and better themselves. This includes illegal immigrants, and citizens who mooch off of the system and collect tax dollars for doing absolutely nothing.
There's absolutely no excuses to be healthy and able and not willing to try to be productive in American society. There's just too many options out there. Those who say there isn't have either a) not looked far enough, or b) don't possess the genetic coding involved in getting the up and doing something with themselves.
I was in this position before. I was in the US army, got kicked out, had nothing going for me and asked myself what I was going to do. I could have easily sat on my ass and collected some bull disability, but how the hell could I without feeling guilt and shame for living in a country that still presents the opportunities that we do. Anyways, I did something that I never thought I would do, go to college. It turned out to be the smartest move I could have made considering the economy and job crisis. I've digressed, sorry. |

| I support legalizing those that "want" to progress and do good instead of becoming part of gangs. |
