Should Immigrants get FREE education?

[syko2006]

If the parents of the people that want the education pay tax, and have jobs, then yes.
Someone in my school has not long joined, and he can barely (no exaggeration) speak a word of English. His parents are still in his home country, (I don't know where this is) and he's moved over to live with his uncle and Nan.

Before someone goes ahead and says, ''how do you know, if he can't speak English that well?'' He comes to the shops with us at lunch time, and my friends got got onto the subject of where he's from, and he told us all this, by what little English he can speak.

His visa ran out the other month, and his guardians had to re-apply for it.

Back on topic, I've seen enough border control programmes to know that many of the illegal immigrants that come over from France through the lorries, seek asylum, and go into schools.

This is a very interesting thread.

They travel across the world, seas, channels, all of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, across dozens of countries, rivers, in ships, lorries to come here; do you really honestly think they come here for anything else besides welfare?.

illegal immigrants need to do that. Normal immigrants come on a plane from their country of origin with documents from the British embassy, which allows them to live and work in Britain with certain conditions.

Illegal Immigrants come to get a job where there might not be one at home. I guess the majority of these illegal immigrants claim asylum when caught.

And if you understand - my college is FREE for me (I am british), my hong kong friends have to pay £7k/year. That's how it is everywhere. That is the rule. They come on a Hong Kong British Overseas Territory passport, with a student visa.

im sorry undertaker - but put yourself in their footsteps for once instead of just thinking you're so high up that nobody can even speak to you

a human is a human - not some animal (exceptions go to humans that are animals).

A human is a human, and not all humans can have everything they want because its something called reality, something you need to grasp the concept of.

A country is a country, it only has a certain amount of money.

The majority of illegal immigrants are not caught, hence why the government or even the opposition have no idea of how many are in this country. If we need you and your skills you are very welcome, if not then you can go back to wherever you came from.

It is that simple, so simple infact, that nearly the rest of the world can work it.

the reality is everyone should be treated equally

attitude like yours creates no good

An attidude such as yours makes a country bankrupt and dumps millions more people into poverty.

Yes, everyone should be treated equally. But they can't, because the world isn't perfect. :rolleyes:

Money should be spent educating students that have family that have actually contributed to the country.

im not saying feed every mouth?

im saying if someone is coming over, prepared to work, pay taxes, then why shouldn't their children be entitled to free education?

I never said they weren't entitled to free education, the only conditions I laid down were that we needed their skills and they are working, aswell as a 5-year waiting period to make sure the system doesn't get abused.

You always seem too eager to argue with me, but it only ever falls back on yourself so by all means, carry on.

I agree with every post undertaker has made in this thread. Nothing else to say really.
