California passes Dream Act. Illegal immigrants get state money for college.

[PanzerJaeger]

Immigrants are good for the country. It's good to subsidize them even at the expense of natives.

Could you elaborate a bit on this? Are you speaking specifically in terms of education, or more generally? And are you talking about legal or illegal immigrants?

In terms of education, illegal immigrants are much more likely to a) leave the country and b) have a difficult time finding a job in which to use their state-funded skills. Considering those, it reasons that their subsidization would yield far more risky results in terms of the state's return on its investment in comparison to natives.
