My personal favorites:

Summer Maiden, North Stanly High School, New London: If you do something illegal, you're supposed to serve consequences. Letting illegal immigrants do the same daily agenda as us Americans is like letting rapists and child molesters roam free in our town and parks without punishment. I see where the question would come in to play about the illegal immigrant's children, but the children are also illegal, so they are just as in the wrong. What about the people who have already gone to college and paid the out-of-state tuition? It's not fair for the former immigrants who didn't get a financial break for the present immigrants to receive special treatment. They aren't really any benefits that could come out of this besides giving special treatment to people who don't deserve it. In this situation, the bad outweighs the good by far, all you really can get is angry people, rich illegal immigrants, and one messed up country. No, I do not think that illegal immigrants should get in-state tuition.

Anacelia Garriga, Grandview Middle School, Hickory: I think they shouldn't let people from out of the country go to two year colleges like CVCC. The reason why I said no is that if we go over Iraq and we go to school there it is going to cause a lot of violence, and the same thing here in the US is going too. It is going to cause a lot of violence, and a lot of crimes.

Lacie Wallace, 13, Smith Academy of International Languages, Charlotte: I'm aware that many think immigrants only want to improve, but that's not the case for all immigrants. There are many immigrants who have taken the initiative to become legal; why can't the rest? The immigrants who are too lazy to legalize themselves don't deserve to crowd the spots of the legal immigrants who only want to learn. Illegal's need to step up and do the right thing. No country or legal hardworking person can afford to spoon feed wrong-doers and law breakers.
