Ha, these people are insane.

An American should not have to compete against foreigners for places in American schools. American schools were constructed to educate American citizens and those on fair, legal student exchange programs. Unfortunately modern American schools are more interested in equality and diversity than fairness and legality. Thus, even if a (white) American were to 'pull himself up by his bootstraps', and even if he were smarter than every illegal immigrant that had applied to the same schools he did, the odds would still be heavily stacked against him.

In any case, merely existing in the US as an illegal immigrant is criminal behaviour and should be treated as such. Why she wasn't instantly deported when she was found to be illegal is beyond me.
