Getting a green card to another country is not supposed to be easy. Becoming a citizen is NOT supposed to be easy. GET.OVER.IT. If a person is here illegally, then they need to be immediately deported. Why? Because they are ALREADY breaking US laws. I get so tired of the bleeding hearts screaming about the injustice of it all. Why don't you put all YOUR taxes in a basket and help these people out. I don't want to pay for the healthcare of anchor babies. I do not want to pay for their education, lunches, or college. My family and I have paid taxes for years and yet I don't qualify for the same services an illegal alien does. Why is that? I'm a citizen, I was born here, my family has been here for years upon years, yet I DO NOT QUALIFY. See a problem with this? People are sick and tired of their money being wasted on bogus government spending and people who don't do a **** thing to earn their stay here. They pay property taxes? HARDLY. Most of them live several to a home. The amount of property taxes they might pay doesn't cover the amount of kids they are putting through our educational system.
I find it extremely interesting that people say the citizenship test is hard. I talked with a LEGAL citizen of the United States who came from Mexico. Her words were this "That test was the equivalent of a 6th grade history course." I wouldn't say that's difficult. In fact, I'd say that's pretty darn easy. If someone wants to make a better life for themselves I'm all for it. This requires work. Life requires work. Learn English, learn US history, learn the process, and make your move once that's arranged.
Sometimes life isn't fair. Sometimes people are born into wealthy families and sometimes they are not. Sometimes people are born in Mexico and sometimes they aren't. It's a part of life that you deal with and if you want to get ahead, you do it the right way. Mexico will detain and deport if you are there illegally. I'm thrilled that someone is finally making a stand for this country. All this whoa is me, whoa is them garbage is why this country is shouldering debt as large as ours.
If this girl can't go to college at UCB she can certainly go to college in the country from which she originated. Are you telling that someone with a 4.0 didn't realize that being an illegal alien would present problems getting a government loan? Well, let's take a look at this scenario...Say she gets loans to get through college. She then decides she'd like to return to her home country and leaves the US. She fails to pay her loans. Who pays for them? We do. Do you want to? I don't and that is why they are denying her. Her parents screwed up. Parents do that sometimes and kids pay for it. She is no exception and shouldn't be treated as such. But, wait...she'll be treated as if she were a victim of the big bad US of A.
