Are we talking about people who broke the law, or people who got here by no wrongdoing of their own?
If you are living here of college age (18) and NOT yet LEGALLY residing here, that is of every fault of you own, you ARE breaking the law.
We have a pandemic in the country, that is; we have people who are here ILLEGALLY, that refuse to accept th authority of the US government, yet still demand all the benefits of being a citizen given to them.
Crap like that will happen when you not only refuse to enforce the law but REWARD BREAKING IT.
Rewarding bad behavior, begets more bad behavior.
Here is my "dream act" if your about to turn 18, and your are in the country illegally, say because your parents snuck you across 16 years ago, turn them into be prosecuted, along with every employer you can ever remember them working for. THEN, after successful completion of 10+ years of honorable service in the US Armed Forces, (to repay the debt of the 12 of education you already freeloaded) you can become a us citizen, and enjoy the GI bill, for your college career.
