As a white male w/o a criminal record who was born in this wonderful country of opportunity I keep waiting for my opportunity to be handed to me.

The average American reads at the 7th grade level. Maybe the politicians think this will increase our world standing.

That is so sad and so true! That's what sucks. Hell, Americans can't even compete in math.

Very true, because I read about 4th grade level.

Putting my flame suit on....


I don't think this is all that bad of an idea. The state is offering in state rates to those who graduated from Colorado High Schools. Most of the illegals who graduate from Colorado High Schools did not make the choice to come here; their families brought them here as young children in pursuit of the American dream.

It's pretty common to hear people in the trades complain about illegals coming here and taking their jobs and flooding the market with cheap labor which has significantly reduced the amount of pay a professional tradesman can expect to make. If we allow High School graduates to receive the same breaks as others there is a likely chance that you will see less illegals going into the trades which will ultimately increase the wages professional tradesman can earn.

I volunteered for the Army... I work late nights and weekends, going out in the field and not seeing my wife for a week is a normal thing for us, I've been to Afghanistan, blah blah blah... and my tuition assistance got taken away because the govt, who I'm employed by, can't afford it even with how little they pay us.
I'm not the type to feel entitled to anything, and I'm not trying to bitch about how hard we have it and all that bullshit, so please don't take it as such, but... please explain to me why someone who lives in the US illegally and not only doesn't contribute to but is detrimental to our economy and society, is more deserving of this little break than soldiers and their families.

I'm all for treating "the alien among us" kindly, but I don't believe that extends to doing it to the detriment of the societal vein they've plunged their proboscis into as a people.
