Illegal immigration is just plain sad. Kids of illegals should be sent back with the parents. They have no constitutional right nor should any elected officials pass out my taxpayer money to illegals.
Let's pretend that our federal government is protecting our borders.
These people are breaking out laws. They should not be allowed in our schools, nor should they be granted any type of benefit such as "in-state" tuition.
