Comment on Ask HN: Paying for University as an undocumented studentparent

Comments

How broken is our system that someone can manage to stay 16+ years without getting caught. I mean really, the laws and policies need to be adjusted to make that impossible.

I think it's worse that I can't earn my citizenship. The immigration system has neglected undocumented students: a very specific niche of illegals.

I'm completely American and you'd never guess that I'm illegal unless I told you (the stigma is all illegals speak broken English and are some sort of Latino, which I'm not.)

Your parents didn't do a good job taking care of you. Sucks for you.

By that same judgement your parents didn't teach you the virtue "if you don't have something good to say, you should keep your mouth shut"

Theoretically, they already have. In practice the system stays seriously underfunded, possibly deliberately.
