Do you think that next year there will be 1000? I think it is to gat votes,....but what if they vote the wrong way?
Do you know that present students are getting tuition HIKES? Does this concept sound familiar? Those who work hard are paying for stuff of other people. One group pays tuition for another.
If I were. a smartas, I would say 'Hellloooo!!!!. Is anyone listening ? " But, you fellers, you do not listen. So Shav shows up for Econ 101, which he needs, and THE person next to him is sitting there for free while Shav gets a tuition increase. AnyONE??!!??

@jj-adams saidThe People of Arizona voted for a proposition that would: "allow Arizona students, regardless of immigration status, to be eligible for financial aid at state universities and community colleges and in-state tuition if they graduated from and attended a public or private high school, or home school equivalent, for two years in Arizona. [4]."
Arizona did the same thing a while ago, ohboy illegals get free college, etc.

@no1marauder saidOh fiddely foo you are splitting hairs whether it's totally free or not they are getting financial aid to go to college.
No, it isn't. Getting some financial aid and/or paying resident tuition rates isn't getting "free college" nor is the policy restricted to "illegals" - whatever that means.
Now go to Mexico and get the same treatment.

@jj-adams saidI don't know what Mexico's policy is regarding college aid for immigrants and don't really care.

The voters in Arizona thought Prop 308 was a good idea; in the end, it will probably be revenue enhancing as well as slightly increasing educational achievement in the State. Both are worthy policy goals even if they are at odds with right wing hatred of immigration.

@no1marauder saidYeah, I see that. So after the 100 students, will that be it, or will the classes grow and grow? Do you not see govt takeover here? Do you not question all this giveaway? How do they 'cherry pick" which group of people? * and Do they get put ahead of people who have lived and worked here longer???

@averagejoe1 saidI imagine if the program is successful (it's a pilot program), it may well be expanded.

Expanding educational opportunities is a good thing, so no I don't see any "government takeover" or object to the "giveaway" (again if you want people to answer your questions, you should stop making them loaded with terms that are, at best, disputed).
Don't know what criteria they will use to pick the actual participants other than they will have to be asylum seekers.
There are plenty of programs for others who want to go to college, so I reject your attempt to pretend this is a zero-sum game.

@averagejoe1 saidWhat does Biden have to do with a program proposed by the NYC mayor?
Your next to-last comment says what I am saying to you.: “They have to be asylum seekers”.
My Question though, …of all the hovels of society in the USA, why does Biden pick immigrants? I am truly want to know.

@no1marauder saidYeah, it seems everything is Biden's fault.

@no1marauder saidOops, my first error on the Forum! Yeah, meant to say NYC but sometimes I get overloaded, like you do.

So, you at least tell us if these asylum seekers are put ahead of our own citizens in the way of free education? It would only be a guess, since it is pilot still growing, so won't hold you to it.
