I say if they score in the 2% on the SAT and are in the top 5% of their class, give them all free tuition, citizens and illegals alike. I think I would throw in citizenship too.

States don’t confer citizenship.

Why?

Do you always reward criminal actions?

you admit nothing about how demographics and culture that goes along with it controls destiny, NOT political ideology

when demographic balances alter what reflects a “majority” the culture shifts in favor of that demographic and ideological biases embedded in its culture alter the “national” political ideology as well

this is well founded in history

the U.S. has remained whole because everyone got assimilated to the “dominant” culture even as on the margin the culture adopted some things from its immigrants

none of the immigrant demographic groups could ever upset that because none were so overwhelmingly large in comparison to any other immigrant group or the majority

we are already seeing the end to real assimilation in many areas and unless illegals remain considered illegal and the “family chain” priority in immigration is ended, as a priority, it will only get worse

Liu, Tung-Sheng Tung-Sheng Liu, who risked his life to help American pilots in China during WWII, died of pneumonia in Monterey Park at age 92. Born in China, Mr. Liu helped rescue U.S. airmen of the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders who bombed Japanese targets and then crash-landed in China in April 1942.Mr. Liu came to the U.S. in 1946 to study at the University of Minnesota. He was extremely proud to be named an honorary member of the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders.In 1956, Mr. Liu became an aeronautical engineer at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio, helping develop the C5 aircraft. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/latimes/obituary.aspx?pid=127012618#sthash.rpl431HY.dp

_______________________________________________________

I am going to add more to this story. Liu was studying aeronaudical engineering and was fluent in Enlish and Chinese which is why he was so helpful to the Doolittle raiders.

Liu wanted to come to the USA earlier and Doolittle himself tried to get him in, but the immigration law at the time banned everyone from China from immigrating no matter what.

He finally made it with the German Nazi scientists after the war to help develope the USA military aircraft.

And he eventually became the chief engineer of the Galaxy c5A.

Is that good enough reason to let the best and brightest people into the USA.

I am a Chinese 1 percenter.

When I am amongst the lower class of whites, I am treated like yellow pond scum.

When I am with the upper class, I am as an equal contemparary.

The upper class mostly got there by hard work and achievement. We respect talent and hard work. And if there is one “american value” we all agree on it is respect for talent and hard work.

Letting in the top achievers regardless of race will only perpetuate America as a country of talented hard workers.

Still didn’t answer my question.

Do you reward those who break our laws?

Do you reward those who commit misdemeanors?

Do you reward those who commit felonies?

If you do reward them and ignore their past crimes, do you invalidate the laws just for them or do citizens get the same break?

I say we let the talent and hard workers in.

All we have to do is change the immigration laws and do an amnesty, then there will be zero law breaking.

There, now are you happy ?

All nice and legal for you.

Is this in the present tense? If your experience is typical among Asians, then it's possible this is why the overwhelming majority vote for Democrats.

LOL.

Nobody, not even native-born Americans, benefit from government schools to the extent they should be billed for their "education" over and above what they've had taken from them by force.

In a perfect society, the government should be paying parents who were victimized by the public schools' 12-year indoctrination program.

I’m not advocating for the quality of USA public schools but any illegal who has attended them should be billed for the per pupil cost times number of years attended before he/she can become legal.

This is present tense but it rarely happens because 1. I try to avoid these situations as much as possible 2. I hide the fact that I may be a 1 percenter .

On the few occassions when neither strategy is available to me, yes it happens.

But it is very infrequently that I can’t employ strategy 1 or strategy 2 so I actually face very few problems.

That's an eye-opener. Do you think it's a class thing or a race thing?

Not many are aware that the person doing heavy back room arm twisting to bring this despicable pro-illegal alien bill up for a vote is none other than former governor Jeb Bush.

If Jeb or another republi-crat wins the republican nomination in 2016 a lot of conservatives will be sitting that election out at home.

Why send another RINO to Washington to do the job democrats want them to do?
