Whether or not illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the US has been a heated debate for some time now, even more of a controversy is whether or not they should be given certain opportunities, such as financial aid for college. In California, the second part of the Dream Act was passed. This allows illegal immigrant college students to get state funded financial aid. Many people believe that since so many illegal immigrants are studious and extremely intelligent, they deserve the chance to go to college. Unfortunately, many of them don't have the money to go to college so they are being deprived of the education that they deserve to help them get somewhere in life. For many of these immigrants, they were brought to the US when they were very young, and it isn't really their fault that they're here illegally. People are arguing that giving these immigrants financial aid is taking away from deserving citizens who to get financial aid. However, at state universities, this law is only going to affect less than one percent of the students enrolled in the current school year.
