Immigration policy

Should the state's community colleges have open admissions for everyone, including undocumented immigrants? Who benefits from the 2004 policy giving community colleges discretion in not admitting them?

No way. "Undocumented worker" means "illegal alien who doesn't pay taxes."

I'm not opposed to immigration, just illegal immigration. If the law needs to be changed, then let's change it.

NO!

Immigration laws need to be stepped back to at least the way they were in the 1940s and 50s. Immigrants need to go through the trouble of having to learn another national culture and language and history. They need to work for it. Nothing given freely is ever truly appreciated. That's why we have places like southern Florida.

While not THE National language, English is the spoken language of the United States of America, and all persons desiring to live and work in the US should abide by that fact.

Deportation of illegals needs to be active. As far as that cost goes, every country in the world gets something from America, you can't tell me there is not a way to charge back deportation costs.

I do not mind that illegal immigrants are admitted, however they should be required to meet the same residency requirements as anyone else.
In addition, the admission process requires a social security number. These schools participate in fraud when they knowingly accept bogus or stolen SSNs. Administrators who do so should be removed from positions of authority and prosecuted.
Immigrants who provide appropriate documentation should be admitted. It is not the job of the schools to enforce national immigration laws, but it is also not permissible to engage in fraudulent activity.
