Huntsman Supports Tuition for Children of Illegal Immigrants
While Jon Huntsman is in support of securing the nation’s borders against illegal immigrants, he also stresses that those crossing the border are human beings and deserve to be handled humanely. He is also in support of providing in-state college tuition support to children with alien parents, which is only part of the immigration issue he agrees wholly with another GOP presidential hopeful, Rick Perry.
“I don’t want to punish young kids for the sins of their parents,” said Huntsman, during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer recently.
In the interview he further explains that he wants to fix the system by which the United States grants citizenship to foreigners, assuming they are not criminals. He attests the system has been broken for years and is creating a bi-furcated society, where nearly 12 million aliens are living in the “shadows.”
His solution to helping these people is to pragmatically fix the citizenship process through back-taxes, requiring English as the primary language learned and apply and fees or penalties to those wishing to stay in the United States.
