OK Luis, lets see if we can make this easy enough for even you to understand. Professors have contracts with universities. Prestigious universities (that means good ones) typically have a clause regulating how the universitys name is used in outside research.
Dr. Lott was a professor at Harvard when he and I were on the same speaking schedule, and I fell to me to introduce him. I couldnt introduce him as Dr. Lott of Harvard because he was speaking about his book, More Guns Less Crime that hadnt been pier reviewed yet. Harvard didnt just dream this up when they hired Dr. Lott.
You may not be able to distinguish between law-abiding immigrants and criminals but most Americans can. Neither of these groups is against all immigrants as you claim. They are against criminals and immigrants who come to be cared for by our welfare system. They are very much in favor of a warm reception for law-abiding, industrious, skilled, immigrants.
We have enough of our own criminals and lazy welfare sponges without importing more. Those of us who pay the taxes that support these drains on society cant dont want any more of them heaped on us. Those of us who are law-abiding, dont want any more criminals in the country.
I dont know why that is too hard for you to understand. Are you one of the criminal employers who is making a living from employing the illegal aliens? Is that why you are such a big supporter of these criminals?

"Professors have contracts with universities. Prestigious universities (that means good ones) typically have a clause regulating how the universitys name is used in outside research." I'll type slowly so that you can keep up.
I can extrapolate information to support my op-ed article (that was what you posted by the way) from published studies, and I am not required to actually get permission from the good Doctor's employer to do so, and that information does not have to actually take a side, but I can use it to support my opinion.
The professor from Rice did not write the article you posted...did he?
Your good Dr. Lott was speaking about his book, which is quite different from me writing an article that uses data from Dr. Lott's book...Harvard could not stop me from doing so.
I am a realist, aware that we need a realistic solution to the problem of 10 million illegal aliens living on our soil, I don't waste my time with useless ideological mental self-eroticism, I believe in the action of DOING.
If we have a problem with these people coming and staying here illegally, while simultaneously realizing that they do in fact benefit the economy, then I say we allow them to come and provide us with the benefits of their labor, then allow them to go home...with the promise that they may come back as long as they come to work.

Ah, would that be "peer reviewed"? Or is Dr. Lott launching a boat?

The last gambit of the head injured in these immigration threads is the charge that another Freeper is an employer of the illegals.
