Educational wedge issue introduced in the Senate

KING5 reports "The Dream Act," a bill designed to allow children of illegal aliens to go to college, was recently introduced in the Senate. Says Cantwell, "I think that helps everybody, it helps them, it helps their families, it helps the local economy and it certainly helps businesses get more skilled individuals." Several conservative Republicans oppose it.

But this bill may not be a campaign issue in Washington, which took the matter into its own hands in 2003, and began enrolling undocumented students who've lived here at least three years.

Seems to me, as long as somebody can afford (or win a scholarship) to go to college, there is no reason to stop him/her. The problem, it seems, is when legal residents are deprived of an educational opportunity because their seat is taken by an illegal alien.
