    Your example just further highlights the stuff I’m so baffled by, how can someone be mad about a nation of 300 million supporting less than 100 thousand KIDS. And AFAIK they never got free tuition, they just got access to scholarships and got to pay the instate fee even if out of state. Helpful sure but far from a free ride. And even further if they don’t get education their life time earnings will be lower and thus also the tax they pay. Money spent on kids and their education gets repaid in taxes several times over in general. And further if no education or prospects exist crime is the only way to not fucking starve if you’re undocumented. It’s shortsighted to a level that is either wilfull or the manipulation / brain washing is just to a level that I as an outsider can’t comprehend.

    And then the fucking icing on the cake is what is then Republicans proposing? It sure as shit isn’t reduced tuition, tuition caps or tax credits to help offset tuition costs or anything. It’s just focus on some sick, mildly racist angle of “look at Dems caring about non-Americans more than Americans!” and then pocket all the money themselves.

    At least the Dems are doing something aside from fucking over the average American and putting money in the pockets of the already rich.
