text: do you favor that illegal immigrants be allowed to compete for admission to college? in the states  of texas and oklahoma illegal immigrant students are allowed to compete for admission under rules applicable to residents of the state. these two states have led the way in this significantly because they also give these students financial aid. there are about 10 other states such as california and florida that allow admission but deny financial aid. i don't know how you could blame high school students for being here illegally when they were brought here by their parents.  as long as they aren't receiving any affirmation action style preference, i absolutely believe they should be allowed to compete for college admission.  if they go to school instead of doing some manual labor style job, they will add more to our country instead of eventually being over users of welfare programs and emergency rooms and such.
