How would you feel if you found out that your friend (who's illegal) ended up being valedictorian of you high school (good high school, not a bad high school)? True story, my friend became that and he's illegal. I can't believe that ****, what do you guys think?

I'm not against immigration, I think it's really good he became valedictorian even though he's illegal. I'm all in for the Dream Act. Seriously, can you believe that he ended up becoming that!

He took all honors courses and A.P. he is not stupid. And no one knows he's illegal except me and his counsler.

so what! if hes smarter than the rest of the class, he deserves to be valedictorian. What are you whining about?
i really dont see how his good GPA has to do with being illegal.
oh, it sounded like you were pissed-- "I can't believe that ****"

I'm sure that out of about 2 million valedictorians around the country that a few are illegals. Illegal immigrants are no different in intelligence then citizens yet this is a suprise to people?
But DAR said it best. They do not have the "right" to take the OVER $10,000 per year out of the taxpayers pockets for their education.

that's interesting. A lot of Americans his age would really hate him and demand that illegal immigrants get deported.

If he is so smart, then he'll realize that since he is here illegally that he will need to exit the country and then reenter to apply for citizenship.

Just because he's from another country does not make him mindless. What is unbelievable about that? He worked hard for that and who are you to say he doesn't deserve it?

How much did the other kids' education suffer because of the funds diverted to educate those who shouldn't be here?
It costs $10,000 per year per child to educate a child in California. I am glad your friend didn't waste their opportunity, however, that money was taken from the education of others who belong here, and their schools and classes were more crowded, accordingly.
What makes that right?
