You would think. But in the State of Kansas we passed legislation a year or two ago which subsidizes the education of non-citizens in the tune of 14-18 million TAX dollars (per year I believe) and a good portion of that goes to Two Year Colleges.
Minority and non-citizen status also get you to the front of the line when it comes to getting accepted to certain programs like nursing...
It has nothing to do with education, but my wife has $800 taken out for insurance each month......a non-citizen Iranian woman who's husband is barred from entering the US admits her son to the hospital and Medicaid (your tax dollars btw) pays for the entire stay.
I am beginning to think we should all renounce citizenship and come back into the country for a 'Fairer' shake......
