STATE FINANCIAL AID

| February 26, 2014 5:00 AM

Citizen disagrees with Gov. Inslee

Inslee wants lawmakers to approve a plan that would expand "State Financial Aid" to students who are living in this country "illegally."

First, in case "Inslee doesn't know or doesn't care to know what 'illegal means,'" the following is what a dictionary has to say! Prohibited by law, not legal, unauthorized and unlawful! "Charity" begins at "home" which to all "legal residents" is America or the Good Old U.S.A!

If our governor wants to "help" the "illegals" why not start with our prisons, as they all did something "illegal," but most are "Americans' and a education could make them a Better "American" Citizen.

I would sure like to know what Mr. Inslee had in mind to come up with such an idea when we have a lot of "American' students that could use some "help" to pay for their college education!!

In the last two weeks I have talked to quite a few "Americans" about this subject, of "help" for the illegal students and not "one" of them thought it was a "good" thing to do!! Yes, I am a US Navy Veteran and I am "proud" that I was able to serve my country of America. But I never ever thought we would support "illegal students" over our own "American students!!"

Mr. Governor Jay Inslee, I believe you "owe" to "all" of the "Washington State" citizens as to why you are "supporting the illegals!!"
