Many of the Hispanic students, legal or illegal, are treated with the same bias shown here in the comments.My family settled in the New Mexico area before there were any pilgrims and yet are treated as if we should go back to Mexico. Being Hispanic does not signify illegal entry into the United States. I am proud to be American, but sad to see what some people think being American is.

They are saying it takes that kind of money to ask questions of people. What is there to study. Do a poll , what ever, so here we go we want to give them free college now we want to throw away more money to find out why they are not ready to take it. Give it to someone that is ready to use it and doesn't have it.

You want to know why fewer are prepared ! I would say it's likely because 99.9 percent of them are not legal. But do we care , NO! we only want to make sure we give away every thing we can to any one except those that may deserve it. Or that have paid in all that money by way of taxes .
