I find this amusing.  Three years ago Denver Mayor Hickenlooper promised the students at Cole Middle School to help them find money to go to college.  Now, as that class gets ready to graduate, the mayor is keeping his promise by obtaining private funds for the students tuition bills. 

That isn't good enough though for undocumented alien students.  Because they are undocumented - which really means illegal - they must pay out of state tuition rates.  The mayor's program will only pay in state tuition so these "undocumented" students must make up the difference on their own. 

In a nutshell the formula is this: 

Legal residence / Citizenship status = In State Tuition
Non-legal residence / Citizenship status = Out of State Tuition

Now these "undocumented" students who are not legal residents of Colorado or citizens of the United States want financial aid above and beyond that which students that are legal are going to receive.  Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this?  Are people really supposed to give more money to "undocumented" students than legal ones?
