Review on Ivonne's blog

I didn't know much about this topic of hispanics and their education. I previously read one of her posts and was intrested in the topic. I really got alot out of eading a couple more of her posts. Its crazy to think about how for many of us in the north shore we are dealing with the problems of doing your act getting a good score and applying to all of our colleges. Many of us don't have the worries about college costs and such. It was always implied that many parents could just pay to the college of choice of their son or daughter. For many hispanics however that isn't the worry at all. It is how are they going to come up with the money for tuition. I was thinking about how the problems are coming up with how certain students are considered illegal imigrants even if they are born in the U.S.. These students then have to deal with the consequences of their parents decisions by not being aloud to pursue their life dreams because they: can't apply for colleges, can't recieve scholorships and other things. It was intresting seeing the different perspectives on the topic. Although I believe that something should be done about this problem I can also see the other side of the argument. There are hundreds if not thousands of American Citizens that already require help with scholorships and college funds and with the addition of all the illegal imigrants there is alot of help that needs to go around. Our country is already in a big financial hole and helping all these students would be a big problem. I hate saying this, and as terrible as it sounds, I think that the problem the illegal imigrants are facing at the moment with their financial aid and other problems should be second on the ladder to those of American citizens. America has a responsibility to first help its own people and then to reach out for those who also need help.
