The University of Virginia has extended financial aid eligibility to undergraduate students who are in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The Daily Progress reports the financial help will become available in Charlottesville this fall. University spokesman Wes Hester says the money will come from private funding.

I suppose we shouldn't care what the heck they do with private funding even though it is given to individuals with illegal status. However, when they offer in-state tuition to these individuals, which they are, that is subsidized by VA taxpayers.

Private money is fine but I'm sure there are lots of legal Virginians that would be glad to recieve help.

Of course, but they don't fit the leftist narrative.

Seems a lot similar to Gov't funding of planned unparenthood. Getting tax dollars but swearing that the money for the other is private.

is there really much difference between giving financial aid to the Dreamers vs Chinese-Americans who only spent the first months of their lives in America?

We are, tripping over our grandiose sense of virtue, and we’re swallowed up with false pride.

I fairness though, the school is less and less reflective of commonwealth. And the unfortunateness that emanates from Carr’s Hill is from out of state.

Thank God. Hopefully they offer all classes in Spanish and let their families move into the dorms.

Thank you for posting this though.

It will matter little to them, I’m one of those people, but I will write a letter and explain why I will no longer be donating to the University.

We're getting to the point where it's more beneficial to be an illegal alien than an actual American citizen.

You can only do what you can, and that is vote with your dollars. In the meantime, like at many other state universities, it is getting harder and harder for qualified in-state US citizens to get in.


Oh, and I see that the serial downvoter clown is up from his nap.

I'm sure I agree with you but you lost me on those Chinese-Americans! Are you talking about anchor babies?

Rich Chinese nationals fly their pregnant wives, into LA and San Francisco stay for a couple of months, give birth. Fly back to China.
There are upscale houses that hold 6-8 expecting mothers at one time. The woman go shopping until they give birth. They do this so their children are American citizens.

Offering aid doesn't mean easier admissions standards for a certain group of people

No, it does.

They’re putting money aside to attract these people, and to make a political statement.

There will be a quota and they will do what it takes to fill it.

Those are spots that poor Americans would otherwise fill. And dollars that would otherwise go to poor Americans.

But those people were probably white trash rural people, so they don’t matter much.
