in my opinion i think that students shouldn't pay the price for their parents mistakes!! many of these students just want to continue their studies and have a career. they are in fact denied financial aid and MORE. but there are lots of americans without jobs..u know why? cause they didn't want to better themselves or continue studying--so for an american there are no excusses to not having a career!! this is the country of opportunities!! now for the ones whose "spots" in college were taken by illegals.. was most proboble because of their grades in high school. so i really think that these students' dreams to having a good life should be denied.. and im not saying it should for americans either.. i just think it should depend on how hard a student tries and how much he/she wants to better themselves.
