Run the numbers. Most kids of illegal immigrants don’t even finish high school. They aren’t at Wharton, or Harvard Business School.

Well, a large number do not finish high school. You may be right about "most," I'm not sure.

If one in 10,000, or one in 50,000 had straight A’s, it would be a miracle.

I am just as angry about what is going on as you, but isn't that an exaggeration? I don't think 99% of Dreamers are drug runners. I think Dems are counting on GOP members to make similar statements, so that cowardly GOP congresscritters will be so embarrassed they will vote for whatever the Dems want.

Here is what I think. Most illegal aliens are not murderers-rapists (although they are breaking the immigration laws and should not pretend to be innocent of that), but if they voted, most would vote for really evil people. That is one reason why I oppose "immigration reform."

Another question is, would DHS, being de facto extension of the DNC, do diligent qualification/background checks, or even want to?

I don’t think so.

“Here is what I think. Most illegal aliens are not murderers-rapists (although they are breaking the immigration laws and should not pretend to be innocent of that), but if they voted, most would vote for really evil people. That is one reason why I oppose “immigration reform.”

That is why we all oppose it.

” would DHS, being de facto extension of the DNC, do diligent qualification/background checks, or even want to? “

They won’t do ANY background checks.

In this Daily News report LINK it is stated that 59.8% of Hispanics make it to graduation, and 74.9% of Blacks do in the LAUSD.  (2011)

Now this is probably a bit misleading if you are only addressing the children of illegal immigrants.  In the schools with the highest concentration of them, I believe I've heard that less than 50% make it to graduation.  Human Events offers up this report LINK that states only 40% of Hispanic students in the LAUSD graduate.

Reading this you'll note a wide desparity in these two reports, which seemingly invalidate each other. This desparity is created by different ways of determining who is a drop out and who isn't.

One method of determining who is a drop-out, is to evaluate people up to 24 years of age, who did follow through and obtain their graduation certificate.  Another method looks at actual students who start high school and don't finish with the rest of their class.  You see, the Left knows no bounds when it comes to spinning each and every aspect of life.
