What an ignorant, hate-filled, uninformed comment you made, John Q Public. UCLA is NOT free -- they paid for it, since John Q Public, aka, John self-focused-Q-Public is unwilling to pay a few cents of his precious money in taxes that support public education. UCLA is EXPENSIVE, and these "illegals" were BORN in the
USA, making them CITIZENS. Congratulations to them for studying and completing their degrees.

They were not all born here!

@Nunez: Illegal aliens, which includes the minor children of illegals who sneak across the border and bring their children with them, they are illegal, do place a burden on our resources that are paid for and funded by the taxpayers in this country. They may have paid for their college education, however, they did not pay for their public school educations, this is paid for by homeowners taxes and federal monies. I work at an urgent care walk in clinic in Florida. All day long I see patients with their matricula consular identification cards they present for their I.D., and their children are on medicaid which is publically (taxpayer) funded. Unfortunately the 14th amendment does give "anchor babies" citizenship, most Americans are aware that this amendment to our constitution occured during pre civil war days and is outdated. Yes, apparently I am self focused, I believe in taking care of our own first. Mexico doesn't want their poor, they encourage their poorest citizens to sneak across the border so that we, the American public, can take care of them, their government is not encouraging their most educated or brightest to come over, you can't argue that. People are FED UP, enough is enough. And with "King" Obama in office, circumventing our current immigration laws, which states that these kids are illegal, sorry, it's the law, am not making that up, he is pardoning each and every one of them. People are tired of this BS. And don't tell me "America is a nation of immigrants", yes, that's true, and each immigrant group that has come here has assimilated, learned the customs and language. My ancestors came over through Ellis Island, they were Legal immigrants, not illegal aliens.

Let us be practical, "WhatISGoingOnHere", what are you going to do with these immigrants? Detaining and deporting illegal immigrant caused $1.0 billion in 2005. Border control costs $90 billion in 10 years. All those are tax money too. You don't want them to work for paying their detainment because it will take away YOUR job. The only cheaper way to do this is probably killing them. On the other hand, this money can readily be used instead to help the immigrants achieve a much better future for this country, and win their hearts in the process. Being selfish or being hateful doesn't work for your selfish course or for the society. Btw, U.S. will lose its unique supreme status in 5 years, China is becoming the biggest GDP contributor in the world economy before 2018, according to IMF. Soon even if U.S. is begging for immigrants, no one will come. You are not competing with the immigrants in this country, you are competing with the Chinese work force who are better educated, more diligent, more skilled half a globe away happily earning $100 per month salary. This is global economy and you are not entitled to anything until you prove your worth. Be a fair player instead of depending on who your ancestors are, because they are not dependable, or being an American citizen. You can hate these talented students all the more but it will not make your life better. Hate and selfishness will only result in self destruction. Please be a smart person instead of failing to see the consequences of the lie of self-focused life.
