They follow a principle of "helping the unlawful" and "screwing" the legitimate, lawful poor. How misguided and anal is the "ethnic group" favoritism in that Senator's ethics? Senator Saslaw is an exaple of all that is wrong with the “social” engineers of this nation.

They follow a principle of “helping the unlawful” and “screwing” the legitimate, lawful poor.

How misguided and anal is the “ethnic group” favoritism in that Senator’s ethics?

Anyone have numbers on this? The site below will not answer your direct question (there are no figures available on the number of illegals attending universities (or public/private schools for that matter (it is against the law to ask for immigrant status) but the statistics might provide an indication that not too many Hispanics (legal/illegal that graduate from high school continue their education.) http://www.justicebychoice.org/National%20Latino%20Statistics.pdf NoVA Scout said on 5 Feb 2008 at 9:13 pm:

But my question is whether it's a problem that requires a legislative solution. I suspect not or someone would be able to quantify it. Re your statisic on "Latinos": what's your point? I assume that we don't know the drop-outs' immigration status. I further assume that drop-outs of any ethnic category are not matriculating at UVA or any other state university in Virginia. Anyone else know otherwise? 999: every pink amoeba from Pluto who enrolls at a Virginia university takes a place from one of “our kids” (unless “our kids” are also pink amoebae from Pluto).

Anyone have numbers on this? Probably not a big problem but every one that gets admitted takes a slot from one of our kids. I believe the national average for latino dropouts from school is somewhere over 50% if I am correct. NoVA Scout said on 5 Feb 2008 at 9:13 pm:
