an education in citzinenship

In the article "an education in citizenship", Illinois house passed a bill which allowed kids who are illegally in the u.s to pay in-state taxes rates at Illinois colleges and universities. Some people disagreed with the lawmakers decision. I agree with this article that if ther parents federal tax dollars help support grants and loans the child should be given the same kind of education at the same price of all current in-state kids who arent immigrants.
I agree with this article because students shouldnt be deprived of a good education just because their immigrants. Iremember hearing on the news about kids in Africa who didnt go to school because they couldnt afford the tution to stay in so they had to stop going and work in order to provide for their families.
Another example that makes me agree with this article is when i filled out my school applications and was told that i couldnt recieve all the financial aid which is bad because now i got to pay for extra things since i did qualify.
Therefore, I agree with this statement that if the parent works in the state the kid shouldnt have to pay the same tution people outside the state would pay just cause their immigrants.
