Illegal immigrants receive education for free in our country. The debate is over FREE higher education (college). U.S. citizens don't receive 4 years of college for free and so neither should illegal immigrants. Yet in many states they do. Are you saying that if I show up in Netherlands illegally I can go to college for free for four years?

>You can refuse to do so, but you'll bite your own finger by doing that. What you'll think will happen if some people living in the US don't receive education? Are they going to be beneficial to the US economy? I think not. You must see it as an investment, nothing more, nothing less.
