Help legal residents

Thu., Feb. 27, 2014

I can’t understand what is happening to the country I spent 23 years defending during the Cold War. I was never offered any help to send my children to college, and you want me to agree with our government sending the children of illegal residents to college.

Why don’t you take that extra money and help our own citizens? The ones that, through taxes, pay the salaries of the college professors and elected officials who voted for this stupid idea.
