As a taxpaying citizen, I am outraged a decision was made allowing illegal aliens to attend college (Dec. 19 news story "Board told to let illegals stay").

I don't care if these kids were brought here by their parents. I don't care if these kids are smart. What I do care about is the message this sends back to Mexico and other countries about crossing our borders illegally. It is a clear message that anyone can come here illegally and be taken care of all the way through college.

Illegal aliens are costing this country and state billions of dollars. Our unemployment rate is over 10 percent and yet the government wants to further educate illegal aliens so these people can compete for American jobs.

I would like to see all illegal aliens deported along with their families. It is past time to finish the border fence, beef up our border guards and with the help of our military make this country safe.
