     I am opposed to this bill.  If these illegals want an education, being of colleg age, over 18, they can apply for citizenship and wait like all other foreigners to become legal.  Also, they are of working age, so why can't they defer their education, get their citizenship, get a job, apply for student loans and then pay it back after they receive their education.  Our family came from Scandinavia in the e1800's, pioneered this country and worked very hard for what they got.  Nothing was GIVEN to them and our children do not get free educations.  I am sick to tears about our countriy's give away programs.  That takes us back to the old saying, "Shoemakers children have no shoes".  How does this stuff get started?  I feel it is a bad idea and puts more strain on our already bad economy.
