You can hate it, you can love it, or be asking yourself where you stand right now on the idea of free college education for all.

But regardless of how the actual accounting of such a national policy would ultimately succeed or fail, one thing is proving true for an already socialized education system that favors an imbalance between preference for recruiting foreign students over Americans --immigration is pricing Americans out of an affordable higher education.
