    This will be real easy to solve for

    Are you for or against efforts to stop ALL illegal immigration?

    Simple yes or no will suffice. If you dissemble or obfuscate you only prove you are an open borders Trans Righty

    The biggest beneficiary of AA has been (white) women. Today they make up a majority of students at most schools and a majority of graduates. How much longer do they need advantages?

    I think it is also time to start thinking about public funded Community college as a continuation of Public Schools or Public Education.

    And I do not understand why community college has to be limited to two year associate degree.

    I believe Community College should be publicly funded, and I believe they should offer 4 year degrees, as well.

    And I also believe that Community Colleges should also be upgraded to offer trade school courses and certifications for those who are not seeking degrees.
    You talk about "college education" as if it is all one thing but a degree in poly sci or sociology or african studies is worthless while a degree in physics or engineering is a gold mine. We have to teach STEM only at schools and that means most students should not even be there. THINK

    Blacks have never been oppressed. They are massively inferior mentally and that's why they have always been failures everywhere they exist.

    1. Black-americans come in last in all standardized tests. Asian-americans do fine on all the tests so it's not due to cultural bias in the tests.

    2. Africa is by far the poorest and most backward continent on the planet. All of black africa is now controlled by blacks and has been for decades so it's not due to racism.

    3. No black has ever won a Science Nobel Prize unless you count one in 1979 for the semi-science of economics. They have won many nobels in non-brain fields like Peace and also in Literature so it is not due to racism.

    4. Out of 1552 chess grandmasters in the world, only THREE are black.

    AA for women has to end also.

    I don't support illegal immigration but I don't support the wall and don't support the declaration of emergency. I've seen you twist yourself in knots trying to justify the declaration but we all know damn well if someone like Obama had done something similar you would have (rightfully) screamed your head off. This is a simple case of the ends justify's the means and everything else, including future use of a declaration, be damned.

    Supporting a wall isn't a test of one's conservatism. You just make up sh*t as you go.

    lol.. so you dont support illegal immigration but you won't support measures to stop it

    Congress gave POTUS National Emergency Powers by statute - they ceded their appropriations authority under that declared condition

    I love you old buddy, but one of these days you are gonna have to shit or get off the pot

    A wall and a declaration of emergency isn't going to stop anything. People will still come here. Our immigration system needs to be changed, there are multiple ways to go about it, but we choose not to do anything.

    They won't be coming here illegally hiking across the border, or getting dropped off near the border by the busload.
    They will literally hit a wall.

    I agree with you on immigration reform,and certainly reform would cut down on asylum claims -but no amount of reform will stop criminal illegals . Events like Kate Steinle's murder (multiple deportations and reentry) would stop.

    You are obviously very free to disagree with my position, I don't take it personally. But my position doesn't come from not voting for Trump. If someone else wanted to put a wall up like this I wouldn't support it. Same with the declaration of emergency. It's about what I believe and support which goes far deeper than any politician. It's something ILA doesn't understand.

    Full-time students paying their own way through college are pretty much limited to night shift jobs that normally only pay minimum wages.

    It's certainly not their fault that there are now, and have been, a bunch of Republican assholes in Washington DC that have failed to increase the minimum wage in over 27 years.

    School costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. It changes nothing for a kid to go from $10 to $12 an hour. The issue in the OP is not the minimum wage.

    I think a giant wall can fix education. And if congress doesn't want one, fuck them, I'm king.
