Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Honestly, I'm not even sure how I feel about this, or why it's a devisive issue. I think all social services should be reserved for people who are citizens, but children born here are this, so...
In other words - you think people who happened to come from other countries don't deserve human rights.
The 'others'. What my racist prick uncle would call 'ethnics'.
Oh, wow. Look at you just making up what I ACTUALLY meant for me without me ever saying anything like it! AMAZING!
The article does a good job of giving the reasons for this, but I'll try to explain the justification. Quite simply, kids end up here because of their parents decisions. Since they are here, the decision was made that more harm would be caused (and more money spent) depriving these people an education instead of just letting them be kids.
You're not sure how you feel about uneducated people living around you?
Yeah these children should totally suffer and be forced to grow up without an education because they were brought here as an infant.
Illegal immigrants pay $12+ billion in taxes every year while receiving essentially no benefit from it (no, they aren't collecting Social Security and Unemployment).
I'm ok with not dooming these blameless children to a life of ignorance and poverty as maybe the one fucking thing these people receive from the government.
You'd think we'd want more educated people in our country... Citizen or not. Only one reason I can think of that a person would be against this.
