While the country is broke and Americans whose forefathers founded this nation and paid into the system for generations are being saddled with massive student debt, illegal immigrants are getting $282,220 scholarships and bragging about it on twitter.
The 13 million illegals number should be taken as a low estimate. As Ann Coulter has noted, the government doesn't even know how many illegals are in its prisons, let alone the entire nation. Coulter has speculated the total number of illegal immigrants in the US could be 20 or 30 million.
Despite Americans being looted to the hilt and giving so much of our money away, we're still demonized as "racist bigots."

Sounds like those kids worked there asses off. If you have 4.0+ the scholarships are going to come with it. What you miss in all of that is the citizens who are also getting the fullrides.
Do we punish the kids for the actions of their parents? Those kids also sound like they are go to become pretty successful for this country.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an American immigration policy that allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country before their 16th birthday and before June 2007 to receive a renewable two-year work permit and exemption from deportation. DACA does confer non-immigrant legal status but does not provide a path to citizenship. It was started by the Obama administration in June 2012.
At the program's start, the Pew Research Center estimated that up to 1.7 million people might be eligible.[1] As of June 2014, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has granted DACA status to about 581,000 people and denied to about 24,000.[2]
In November 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama announced changes to DACA which would expand it to include illegal immigrants who entered the country before 2010, eliminate the requirement that applicants be younger than 31 years old, and lengthen the renewable deferral period to two years. The Pew Research Center estimated that this would increase the number of eligible people by about 330,000.[3]
Due to a federal court order, USCIS will not begin accepting requests for the expansion of DACA on February 18, 2016 as originally planned. The court's temporary injunction, issued February 16, does not affect the existing DACA. Individuals may continue to come forward and request an initial grant of DACA or renewal of DACA under the guidelines established in 2012. [4]
