An American, but a foreigner!

During my searching throughout the net, a strange story stopped me and caught my eyes. It was about a class-action lawsuit has been filed in Miami by Florida residents being charged out-of-state tuition rates to attend state colleges and universities. The students are American citizens — children who were born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants — and they say Florida's regulations violate their constitutional rights.

Ruiz pays three times what most other students pay for tuition at Miami Dade College. When she enrolled last year, she was told that because her parents lack legal immigration papers, she has to pay out-of-state tuition rates — nearly $5,000 per semester.

 "I can't afford that. So that's why I was like, I need to speak up, because I can't pay for this amount on money, you know? And I should be in-state, not out-of-state. It's really unfair. Many students who are being charged out of state, they aren't going to school because of how much money [it costs]." Ruiz says. She considers that this is unfair and should be reconsidered in treatment of people who have the same problem.
here I would to say that illegal immigration into the United States or other countries have many disadvantages for the country, because people who enter illegally are suffering to get a suitable job, lack of education opportunities, no health insurance, no adequate housing and no any other benefit of their illegal life, and the status will be more difficult in case they have children who are in need of many life’s basics which should be provided. Also, there are other obligations that states have to recruit them to chase and prosecute Illegal immigrants, for example, border guards, immigration services, police and others. Illegal migration is a crime. At the same time, this issue has several aspects are related to many things:

• In case of a new born for illegal immigrants, parents should know that their children will not receive U.S. citizenship, and if they had obtained would not have all the rights as born of legal citizen parents.
• Illegal immigrants should go back to their country, especially after a short period of birth, and under a good condition of health.
• In case of illegal immigrants, the baby and parents of will not receive citizenship, therefore, he/she will not register in schools of general education and will not get a health insurance or any support or aid or assistance because they will have the rights of that supposed to go to the original American citizens or the legal immigrants.
• Setting a legislation which commensurate with the conditions of the children of illegal immigrant’s citizenship and it should classify specific rights and duties.

Therefore, the states shouldn’t grant the citizenship to anyone born on its land just to who satisfies all correct and legal papers and documents. If states do not adopt this concept, they should grant citizenship to everyone born on its territories and must be granted the same rights to all American citizens.

Return to the story of the student Wendy, she has a right in her requirements because she didn’t grant or create her nationality, but the state did. She lived for a period of 12 years getting the same rights as any American children and ultimately in the critical moment and in the time that determines the future, she surprised that the University treated her as foreign students and not Americans although she is a U.S. citizen.

 Where is the justice in that?? The international students at the universities their countries and their families pay the expenses for their education. What Wendy should do? If her mother country doesn’t pay for her education and same thing with the state that granted her the citizenship, so, who should pay the expenses of her higher education? especially after the economic crisis and the reduction of government financial aid and rising of tuition fees, the expenses of higher education will be unaffordable.
