Yep, the solution to this one is very, very simple. Deport non-citizens. How hard is that? The question I have is why did the INS cease to exist in 2003?

Why go back? We need to worry about our infrastructure, not theirs. The amount of money we've blown on this illegal and unprecedented occupation is ridiculous.

Technology will fix this with solar dye cells and the aircar / electric.

Parents wouldn't know what to do if schools didn't take their kids and watch after them while the parents worked. I'm all for standardized testing and homeschooling. Our public education system is a joke.

Racial divide / Get rid of "Affirmative action". All it is is a crutch. (although I can pretty much guarantee that they will get rid of it when the white man becomes a minority)

I tend to agree. Let's call a spade a spade. No hate crimes, equality all around.

This won't even begin to solve this issue. Class divide is much more about skills and intelligence than people want to admit. It goes back to education.
