Obama slams GOP candidates’ anti-immigrant rhetoric

What advice he would give to his daughter, Malia, about college?

The White Home stated requiring candidates to attend till January slows down the help course of and makes it more durable for potential college students to find out whether or not they can afford to go to school.

Presidential candidates are a standard sight in Iowa because the 2016 marketing campaign intensifies. “I wouldn’t put it previous the president to say one thing about that”.

His reluctance to step into the Democratic nominating contest can be explained by the undecided Vice President Joe Biden, who hasn’t yet said whether he’s running for president.

The president’s trip was pegged to Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s annual back-to-school bus tour.

Obama has not said whom he favors in the race for the Democratic nomination.

“I think it is absolutely realistic for us to have the first two years of community college because it’s in my budget and I know how to pay for it”, Obama said.

Obama continued, pointing out incidents where some college students boycotted conservative speakers on the basis that they were offensive.

Obama sidestepped numerous 2016 campaign questions that arose during his appearance before about 1,400 Iowans at the North High School auditorium. He returned to the state on the eve of the 2012 election for his final rally as a candidate, an emotional event that drew 20,000 supporters. Iowa is just one of seven states the secretary is visiting this week. Among the Democrats, a self-declared socialist senator, Bernie Sanders, is surging against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was campaigning in the eastern part of Iowa on Monday. “I suspect he doesn’t either”, the president said to laughter.

And while he said he wasn’t endorsing a candidate, he did chasten Republicans who he said were fueling an “anti-immigrant sentiment” in the political discourse.

But there are plenty of places Obama could have traveled to to underscore his administration’s efforts in reducing student debt.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio also talked about his own higher education plans in an op-ed in Monday’s Des Moines Register, saying he would reform the college accreditation system and bring down tuition costs by allowing new schools to compete with traditional institutions.

Together with the newly launched College Scorecard – which is redesigned with direct input from students, families, and their advisers – students will have more information to choose the right college than ever before.
