Some South Florida students are walking for change in connection with the nation's immigration laws.

Four students from Miami-Dade College are walking from Miami to Washington, D.C. stopping along the way to talk with community leaders they hope will bring reform to current immigration laws.

Earlier Tuesday, they met with an aid for Florida Governor Charlie Crist in Tallahassee and several other state legislators about their mission.

"There's so much that can be done right here. Like for example giving in state tuition so undocumented students can pay the same rate as everybody else. It's not fair that we've lived here our whole entire lives and we can't pay the in state tuition," says Felipe Matos.

The students are currently undocumented and say even though they've lived in the U-S for most of their lives .. they still don't have a path to take in order to become a U-S citizen.

You idiots. These are not people that swam across the Rio Grande. They are college students that may have expired LEGAL visas to be in this country. By the way, unless you are an native American, shut up. Your family came here as an immigrant too.

I am so sick and tired of a bunch of ILLEGAL invaders of this country coming in and then trying to make the laws work for them. The immigrations laws are a joke in this country and all Mexicans, South Americans, and Cubans know it. THAT is the problem. Disgusting! They should all be deported or either lined up and shot for being invaders.
