Immigration bill would put some high school graduates on fast track toward legalization

This is a good example of the lying that has been going on about the immigration bill. Every advocate, including the White House, insists that it will take 8-13 years for people to travel the road to citizenship and that they will have to leave the country to apply for a green card.

But these kids will get green cards three years after the date that the bill is enacted--as long as they have two years of college or military service. They will immediately qualify for higher ed assistance. And they wouldnt have to leave the country.

Would be nice if our representatives would at least be honest with us.

You must be kidding. Honest? Not a trait of Washington. And as we watch them crafting and engineered immigrant society...and favoring those that will have the ability to make more money, thus paying more taxes to save Social Security and solve the national debt ??? There is a real pattern emerging as we find out more covert facts of this piece of legislation that was written by Satan.

This illegal stole a position in graduate school from an American, and I would love to see her undergraduate transcript.

If not written by satan, he was a co-signer.

...Mariana ... is illegally in the United States...

What the hell was she doing in high school to begin with?

[Sam Ketcham]

Don't fret, Mariana. You have nothing to fear. You will be hired first - as with college, affirmative action. You are Hispanic, speak Spanish, foreign born. You cannot be discriminated against for those qualities and an employer, eager to prove they are not descriminating, will hire you first.

Later, you will be promoted first because the employer needs to show diversity; those are the same qualities that got you into college in the first place. No need to worry about the native born, English speaking person you displaced. Show them the same disdain you did your fellow countrymen who followed the law and await permission to enter the US. Merit, American culture etc. has been replaced by multiculturalism, political correctness (that means actually wrong) and no one bases anything on ability.

Well, Mariana , you get the idea... and you can always apply for or get scholarships and government grants to cover your education. As taxpayers, we love funding the destruction of our country.

My aunt retired from an ivy league school's admissions job 5 years ago. She told me then how insane the preferences for Hispanics was becoming. She said it is a virtual frenzy now. She has seen non-Hispanic applicants lose spots with substantially higher SAT/MCAT scores and GPAs again and again, often with full scholarships. She herself initiated numerous investigations of admissions fraud (applicants using a false name and claiming Hispanic "ethnicity") as part of her job, and faced substantial pressure and threats for doing so, even though it was part of her job. She was constantly at odds with her co-workers and was disgusted at how racially-driven ivy league admissions had become.

The endless articles defending illegals here who suck our systems dry makes me sick. The MSM is like some weird Orwell story. The government cares more about illegals than us. What the hell is going on? Has the world gone mad?

[stephenjohnbanker]

No doubt. I am the son of 2 college professors, so I can wholeheartedly concur with your post.

Good. Let's keep it that way.

"They didn’t decide to come to America. Their parents did."

Probably the best talking point ever used. Blaming parents who are here illegally to promote a program, while simultaneously giving Amnesty to the offending parents.

You post

we concur...............

There's nothing they can do to change this picture:

Oh, but they are, technically. But it's a matter of the truth vs. the whole truth.

I keep reading junk like this...and the May 1 picture in Los Angeles comes to mind.....

thanks for the laugh, I needed it. You have been great on so many immigration threads. Keep it up. I will start another round of calls in the morning.

They would be put on a fast, three-year path toward getting their permanent resident status and their green cards. While waiting for that, the students would be eligible for federal student loans and could work legally _ options not available to them now.

And the American taxpayer will be stuck with the bill AGAIN!

[sand88]

Thanks for that story. It is further proof that the cancer of socialism and PC have our Republic on it’s knees. The left is pure evil in its relentless obsession to destroy everything that is good about our wonderful Republic.
