We can do both. We need to be doing both. We need to crack down on legal immigration too. If people want to come to our country to attend our colleges, that's fine as long as they leave when they are done..
From that link:
Quote:
What many don’t realize is that illegal immigrants already qualify for in-state tuition. Last November, the California Supreme Court ruled that undocumented immigrants can be eligible for reduced in-state tuition at California’s public colleges and universities. But the ruling conflicts with Federal law which prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving college benefits based on residency, since it is not provided to all citizens.
The new law makes it so they can apply for Cal Grant assistance, which does not have to be paid back and favors low-income students.
....
Donnelly added that the children of U.S. Military servicemen, who face frequent job transfers from state to state, do not even get to pay in-state tuition. “But the governor wants to reward illegal aliens with this,” Donnelly said. ”The other concern is that the Dream Act is bound to encourage more illegal immigration. This law will entice more people to come here in the most dangerous way possible. We need more legal immigration.”

We don't need more legal immigration, we need less. And we need to quit subsidizing immigration. The place to learn English if you want to be a US citizen is before you get here, not after. And teaching those kids English is their responsibility, not ours.
