It may be fact that statistically the illegal immigrants that come to the US are not high achievers.
But Hispanics in general is a very broad category. Some have heavy Indian blood lines, some have Spanish (as in Spain) blood lines and others like Cuba are a mixture.
My issue with the illegal immigrants is their “culture”. My observation is that most of them do not think that Capitalism can give them opportunity to succeed and that government is their friend. The Mexican Government is totally corrupt politically. (I am reluctant to throw stones at them since we have Obozo) That corruption and an oppressive history of the elitists there are a breeding ground for Leftism. It will be a very hard education process to overcome this.
I spent 14 years in NM in a mine union district that was 51% Hispanic. I saw up close and personal the Leftist element at the local university. I was GOP County Chairman there are several years. Yes, we did have Conservative Hispanic member then (early to mid 1980’s)
If the Harvard crew would bring some substantive objections, like research falsification or sloppy research, inability to replicate his findings, failure to follow scientific methodology, well, that would be one thing.
But these charges of discrimination, ‘insensitivity’—or as they might say: ‘whatever’—are as bogus as their attempts, for example, to carry water for Michael Bellisiles and his fabrication ‘Arming America’ about ten years ago.
They approve or disapprove of any proposition depending upon whether it serves their political agenda. Period.
Hopefully not being too blunt, IMHO these kids and their perfessors can either attempt to do what was done then, or go s*** in their mortar-boards.
