Yes, but make college free for everyone

I don't think they should be able to unless they have their documents and are in the process of getting them

No. Once they are discovered, they should be sent home, unless they were born here and are under the age of 10. But we should consider offering a free online course or a book on how to not be poor nor in danger where they are from/ how to fulfill their needs.

Yes, as long as they pay taxes and have confirmation of applying for legal citizenship

i dont knew

No, if they are undocumented then they should only be provided the bare minimum of healthcare without identification, subsidized or free schooling should only be for those who pay taxes yearly. But if they have been in the US for more than 8 years, they should already be given citizenship.

Yes, as long as they pay taxes in their residing state and can confirm that they are in the application process for legal citizenship

Yes, if they work and pay taxes

I would leave that decision to the various states. In my preferred world there will be almost no undocumented immigrants, there will just be lots of permanent green card holders and millions of tourists.

I neither agree nor disagree

No, because they should be documented before being allowed to be offered a tuition.

No, they should not be able to go to college, public or private, as an illegal/undocumented immigrant

Yes, as long as they confirm they are paying taxes in the state and are applying for legal citizenship

College education shouldn't cost money to begin with.

it just depends

Yes, as long as they pay their local taxes in that territory to fuel education.

no illegal immigrants are not U.S citizens and should not have the same rights as U.S. citizens untill they become a citizen

Yes, if they're willing to pay taxes, and illegal immigrants should be eligible for certain scholarships and financial assistances.

No, they are not legal residents of any state, so there is no reason for them to receive government benefits unless they become citizens. The legalization system should be improved though, so that more immigrants can get education in the U.S.

If they meet the residency requirement

Legel Immigrant: Yes. Illegal Immigrant: No.

I feel like they should be able to go to college in their residing state as long as they have been a citizen for at least a year so they can get a feel of what they want to do or at least choose a college they would want to go to.

this question is flawed because an undocumented illegal will not be able to get into school anyways.
