June 18, 2016You know how some American kids dream of going to an Ivy League university like Harvard, but can’t or choose not to because they can’t afford it and/or don’t want to get into that kind of debt?
An illegal immigrant just scored a full-ride scholarship to Harvard Medical School. Tuition and fees are $62,000 for the 2016-17 school year alone.
Blanca Morales of Santa Ana, California was the valedictorian of Santa Ana High School and graduated with honors from University of California Irvine. Now ABC 7 news has reported that Harvard has offered her a slot — plus tuition costs — even though she is an illegal alien who was brought into the country at the age of five.
She’s not to be confused with Mayte Lara, the valedictorian from Crockett High School in Texas who bragged of being undocumented.
Morales’s gain was eased by President Barack Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive action, which provided her with a form of legal status, plus a work permit.
“She is the first Health Scholar DACA student to be admitted to Medical School,” reads a portion of a post on the “Health Scholars Program” Facebook page.
She’s being touted as success story for the Democrats’ support of illegal immigration.
Look. I get it. She was five. She didn’t exactly decide to come here herself at such a young age, but doesn’t it just seem wrong? We have law-abiding citizens of the United States working their rear ends off, and we’re giving special treatment to someone who isn’t even a citizen of this country? Americans are losing jobs to approximately 1 million white-collar foreign guest-workers alone.
The California and New York state legislatures have allowed professional licensing boards to provide professional licenses to illegals so they can compete for white-collar jobs. Illegal immigrant Cesar Vargas’ lawyers convinced a New York appeals court in June of 2015 to grant him the authority to practice law. A California court made a similar decision in 2014.
Lawyers have also found a way to convert Obama’s 2012 DACA mini-amnesty for roughly 800,000 younger illegals status into permanent residency.
It doesn’t matter how you slice it. It isn’t right– not to the American people or the individuals who come here legally.
