on the other hand, costs of giving free higher education to everyone are huge, while the benefits (if there even are any?) aren't clear...

from my understanding, illegals cost Americans 100s of billions of dollars while only contributing 10s of billions back. the red herring is your's. i also can't find who gave him his scholarship dollars but plenty of public dollars can go to private tuition, including scholarships. i also know of the dream act, which gives public tax dollars to illegals to pay for college.
we also don't know what these illegals are going to major in/graduate with. they could be liberal arts majors. moreover, free tuition can be focused. that's the plan, including HIllary's free tuition plan. it's not willy nilly free tuition.
