Harvard (illegal alien) student won’t face deportation

Good for this kid. It shows education is more powerful than fighting about a political issue. Harvard, MIT, YALE, STANFORD, BROWN, CALTECH, etc...ivy league schools will fight for students if those students are far superior than anyone else. Whether he or she is an illegal immigrant or not.

The reality is that people with superior aptitude are graduating faster in China, India, Japan, Isreal than the US. I visited many seminars and talks from IEEE about the issues of acquiring students with high aptitude in academia to maintain US education superiority.

This is why your leaders have no ethics.

Political science majors are morons. They forgot that Education should be above political ideology. It breeds people like some wackos on these forums.

"illegal scum piece of trash" - what a lovely, thoroughly unbiased and rational sentiment

Is that kind of Thing really necessary?

They are what they are. They are your common criminal. Trash who break our laws. I mean that wholeheartedly.

To me this shouldn't be so subjective. Laws were broken, that's that. Does that reasoning work out well for this particular kid? No, it wouldn't. I'm sorry that his parents put him into this situation, but that doesn't make it right.

Who gets to decide who gets to stay and who doesn't? Why should it be so subjective? It seems to me like it should be everyone, or no one.

IMO this kind of thing just gives more people more motivation to come here illegally.

And, wacko, they forgot that the Ivy League is above the law . . .

I think that Harvard should be relocated in Mexico.

I know a lot of illegal aliens. 95% of them, in my estimation, are honest people just trying to make a hard-earned buck and send 70 cents of that buck back to Mexico.

Oh. Well, that makes it alright. End of story.

nope. try again. If they were honest, they'd obey US Immigration laws.

95% is a bit high of a number considering how many should be in jail right now for identity theft, etc. Whether it's ultimately "harmless" or not.

For those people whose identity has been stolen, it can be plenty harmful.

the reality is that it is easier to buy high test scores in those countries. hell, you can even buy diplomas there.

i've said it before. i can buy a doctoral with high honors in classical chinese history and philosophy in luoyang for $200.

my wife used to be a "shooter" in china.

she took tests in english language proficiency for lots of people, and got paid well to do it.

the proctors got paid well to allow the process. it's just business.

i have a close friend that manages pennsylvania's state police IT databases.

he has thrown 3 indian guys out the door in the last year.

every one of them had a degree and resume indicating recent applicable experience.

every one of them was a H1-B.

none of them knew the business.

they were all frauds.

Wouldn't that be a case of moral turpitude?

Conservatives don't care about talent. They care more about the law, right? Screw that guy who had to rush to the emergency room because he ran a stop light.
