I agree. The problem is the precedent this sets. Just get in and hang out for a while, and eventually you'll be cleared to enjoy life as an American, welfare benefits and all.
Never mind the people who spend decades waiting, filling out paperwork and taking tests to immigrate legally. And who love this country and view it as a privilege when they finally get the opportunity to gain their citizenship. Those are dreamers. Not the people walking around with Mexican flags who hate America.
"Dreamers" don't have a path to citizenship under DACA and can't receive federal benefits. Also, why do you presume they hate America?

Why not set up schollies for US Citizens who have no financial means? Why leave them behind?
US citizens have literal thousands of of opportunities for financial help. Nobody is leaving them behind.

I would like to know what laws I should go violate so I can get some free stuff too.

I’m all for the private sector paying for things the government used to pay for. If Dems want handouts, they should spend their own money, not taxpayers’.

I love how they say Bezos and his wife both donated. As if she contributed anything

Sounds to me like our legal immigration mechanisms need reform.

Thats great, but what about the black and white kids that are citizens that live in poverty. I bet they wish someone would set up a scholarship fund for them.

DACA is CACA

We got pell grants and subsidized loans at the government level and other financial aid at the school level. It's not as of there's nothing out there for them either.

He's just doing this because he won't have to actually give the money away since they are going back.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why those words problems in math class are so important. You don't want to grow up like CAD hating on Amazon all the time and putting math problems together backward.

WTF, do you keep your head in the sand on purpose.
$1 trillion in student loan debt is not financial help.

The average student that receives Title IV Federal Aid receives almost $10k per year
This doesn't include State or private scholarships.
The student loan crisis has nothing to do with not enough financial help.

Yes it does. We expect everyone to go to college, but we are not going to help you. College prices have skyrocketed and there is not enough money to help.
There is not enough true financial help and this why there is over one trillion in debt.
The student loan bubble will pop, enjoy the ride back down.

Trump has just weighed in on this. He says he will give $34m with the common sense provision that this scholarship money be given only to those majoring in Shithole Studies.

No. It doesn't.
It has more to do with rising rates of tuition, students taking out too much in loans, and not being able to pay back those loans because of low paying jobs.
Unless you advocate for free college for everyone, I'm not sure what else you want.

You've got it backwards. College prices have skyrocketed because there is too much money being thrown at them.
