Why would they? America would have to lower the wages and living expenses of EVERYONE in the country to make manufacturing and assembly here more positive than in the third world. And the third world STILL suffers from massive unemployment. That's what Conservatives want, though, I suppose. A lower minimum wage to turn us into some undeveloped shithole.

nice edit.

Naive people think it is the governments job.Since that is who they rely of whenever it seems like there is a wounded animal in the woods.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM!Because they are a bunch of people who either are not capable or do not wish to do the work to actually help those they believe should help,themselves.


Who said anything about the government? I'm saying we should take responsibility for their education of their parents won't, not the government.

I would love to see some reasoning from the folks that voted "no" on the poll, describing how free money from California taxpayers isn't an incentive for illegal immigration.

Which is the point.
It is a stupid policy.
WE cannot force them to work here.
If they find a job somewhere else after college that is where they will contribute.

Here's an idea. CA should introduce a Hollyweird tax to pay for this. I'm sure Matt Damon, George Clooney and all the rest would love to pay a... say... 85% tax on all their earnings and existing wealth to help paying for all these 'future new Americans'. Now that would be a tax increase I can believe in...

Think about the numbers in terms that we can relate to. Remove eight zeros from the numbers and pretend it is the household budget for the fictitious Jones family:
-Total annual income for the Jones family: $21,700
-Amount of money the Jones family spent: $38,200
-Amount of new debt added to the credit card: $16,500
-Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710

-Amount cut from the budget: $385

Morally indifferent?

So people that actually bothered to go through the official 'process' of immigration, fill in those forms and registration and get approved and wait for that etc... should just have not bothered and waltzed in across the border so they could earn a fraction filling in a job that a company would rather not hire an American for (as in: you'd have to pay a living wage, taxes, etc.... hey why do that when you can get away with paying a fraction of that to an illegal)?

No, the basic point is why should that "process" exist and be required for immigrating in the first place? I see no moral justification whatsoever for it.

Then offer a path to legal citizenship, and a repayment clause that requires them to stay in the U.S. after graduation.
