Obama Wants Community College for Illegal Aliens

Why waste those taxdollars on Americans when you can spend them to support education for illegal aliens? Jim Geraghty has more:

Obama says that illegal immigrants ought to be able to attend U.S. community colleges. His justification for this is that if the illegal immigrants came to the U.S. as children, then they've "never lived in Mexico, so far as they can tell."

My, what a unique and groundbreaking redefinition of citizenship; you're a citizen of the country you can remember, not the country where you were born.

Also, according to this report, Obama wanted California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to drop his threatened veto of a bill that would make illegal immigrants who graduate high school eligible for college aid.

U.S. taxpayers paying for the education of illegal immigrants. The Obama presidency just gets better and better, huh? Suddenly bailing out Wall Street looks kinda palatable by comparison.

Maybe Obama could just use some of the illegal campaign contributions he's gotten, as documented here:

In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as “Will, Good” from Austin, Texas.

Mr. Good Will listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.”

A Newsmax analysis of the 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest master file for the Obama campaign discovered 1,000 separate entries for Mr. Good Will, most of them for $25.

In total, Mr. Good Will gave $17,375.

Following this and subsequent FEC requests, campaign records show that 330 contributions from Mr. Good Will were credited back to a credit card. But the most recent report, filed on Sept. 20, showed a net cumulative balance of $8,950 — still well over the $4,600 limit.

There can be no doubt that the Obama campaign noticed these contributions, since Obama’s Sept. 20 report specified that Good Will’s cumulative contributions since the beginning of the campaign were $9,375.

In an e-mailed response to a query from Newsmax, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt pledged that the campaign would return the donations. But given the slowness with which the campaign has responded to earlier FEC queries, there’s no guarantee that the money will be returned before the Nov. 4 election.

Similarly, a donor identified as “Pro, Doodad,” from “Nando, NY,” gave $19,500 in 786 separate donations, most of them for $25. For most of these donations, Mr. Doodad Pro listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You,” just as Good Will had done.

And that's just the stuff they can find. There's $222 million in donations of $200 or less that don't require reporting. How much of that stuff is fantasy as well?
