Comments

Mary Steele writes:

Nobody should attend our higher education institutes that is not a legal citizen or legal guest. We have to be more proactive in getting our own people educated or we will continue to lose the battle against China and other countries that have stronger education programs.

We can spend the money now, or pay a lot more later when those that are under paid will depend on social services to make ends meet. This cycle of poverty often carries from generation to generation.
