Lumping illegals in with legal immigrants just another way liberals vilify the right, I have not heard anyone in here talking about all immigrants being a drain, but I could be wrong, it's happened before.

It’s absolutely relevant to the thread. So many of you are outraged over a handful of wealthy parents who felt they had to bribe coaches to get their kids into college.
These wealthy parents basically subsidized the poor kids upbringing, healthcare, education etc... and yet, hundreds of illegal immigrant and affirmative action kids are getting preference in their applications.
Hopefully it sheds some light on why someone would naturally feel like it’s unfair for the wealthy and middle class. The only reason we have to do it is because it benefits society to help these kids get educated and out of poverty so it ends the cycle and they can start contributing positively. The last thing we need is another generation of people we have to financially support. But we can do that with helping them into avg schools. Don’t undermine the integrity of the elite schools by lowering standards.
If you feel like people are trying to keep you poor or oppressing you, it’s false. You have nothing to be bitter about. Nobody wants you to be poor, it benefits no one whatsoever.

Yep. That’s why I had to clarify and hopefully offer some insight. Sadly some people don’t really understand the difference and/or don’t care. Adding to the problem, it’s easy to just lump them all together because they have the same color skin, speak the same language, etc... it’s how racism begins.
If each race addressed their own bad apples, racism would decline dramatically. Racism today stems mostly from a perception/branding issue. Fighting it with hate, accusations, bitterness and anger will only make it worse. Until you change their perception - ie change their hearts, you will never solve the problem and you can’t do that with laws -ie by force. You change hearts by taking responsibility/addressing your own bad apples and yourself, contributing positively to the larger community, and also making yourself approachable/vulnerable by letting people get to know you as well as demonstrating a genuine interest in others. That is how we end racism.

The College Board’s SAT ‘Environmental Context Dashboard’ Does Not Change SAT Scores, But Will Probably Influence Admissions
Alex Nitzberg | May 20, 2019
The College Board’s SAT, an exam taken by many as they strive to gain admittance to college, has attracted significant attention due to news about an “adversity score” to be included in SAT results.
The College Board has pushed back against the use of the term “adversity score.” As seen in the tweet below, the organization uses the phrase “Environmental Context Dashboard.”
This Dashboard includes several categories of information, including, “SAT scores in context,” “Information on the high school,” and “Contextual data on the neighborhood and high school environment,” according to The College Board. The only information tied directly to each individual SAT test taker is their actual SAT score. The neighborhood and high school information is not specific to each individual who took the SAT.
“The SAT score is the only piece of student-specific information admissions officers see in the Dashboard,” the College Board says. The organization explains that, “All students living in the same census tract will have the same neighborhood data and all students attending the same high school will have the same high school data.”
In the Dashboard the “Student’s SAT scores can be seen within the context of the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile of SAT scores from the student’s high school (3-year average),” according to The College Board website. “The neighborhood and high school measures are percentiles between 1 and 100 with a flat distribution, with 1 corresponding to the least disadvantaged and 100 to the most disadvantaged.”
During an interview on Fox News, The College Board’s President and CEO David Coleman said that his organization is not changing students’ SAT scores: “We don’t change the SAT score. It’s not a new score,” he explained, saying the Environmental Context Dashboard is “a general context in which to look at scores.”
He provided the example of a female from a rural school in Mississippi who had earned 400 points more than fellow students at her high school:
“So, if you look at a test score alone, but don’t know she was 400 points higher than all her peers, you might not see how exceptional her achievement was, you might miss her resourcefulness. So only when you look a score in context can you see that despite growing up in a more impoverished neighborhood with less resources she’s done so well.”
The Environmental Context Dashboard has already been rolled out as a pilot with over 50 institutions and The College Board plans to eventually offer it to all colleges:
“In 2018-19 we piloted the Dashboard with more than 50 colleges and universities. This fall we plan to expand to include more than 150 colleges in a research partnership as we continue to shape the tool, and next year we plan to make it broadly available to colleges and universities for free,” The College Board explains.
The Dashboard will likely have an impact on college admissions.
In a tweet that references the 50-school pilot, The College Board said: “Application readers reported that applicants from higher levels of disadvantage were more likely to be admitted when using the Dashboard.”
“The Dashboard enables colleges to witness the strength and resourcefulness of students in a huge swath of America who would otherwise be overlooked, including students in rural areas, students in inner city areas, and military dependents,” another tweet explains.
The College Board also stated in another tweet: “We're proud that results from our pilot show that using the Dashboard makes it more likely that students who demonstrate strength in overcoming challenges are more likely to be admitted to college.”
That's one of the most racist statements I have ever read.

Reading this thread is a trip.....No immigrant thesis to add, just a real American story;
My pop was an illegal who became legal....His 1st born, was a punk ass teenager who had he not been born in the US, would no doubt have been deported.
The illegal, who-became-legal immigrant, 1st US born grandchild now attends the university of subject.
If that illegal did not take the 1st step....the pre-mentioned would not be true. But it is, and he did.
Thank you pops, aka, Mr former illegal.....Thank you for taking the risk w/the law. Then working your ass off to make it right

You should be thanking taxpayers instead. But hey, thanks for proving my point.

Unfortunately your case isn't the norm these days and if it were I doubt we would be discussing it right now.

Btw, good for you, I mean why not if gov isn’t going to do anything to try and stop you? No consequences, right?
Did you miss the "hardworking" part?
It is short sighted to judge that some immigrants will be productive contributing members of US society while others will live off the system. To me the real issue is why illegal immigrates feel entitled to break the law and jump ahead of other deserving people that fill out the proper paperwork and wait for their lottery number to hit. If we allow this free for all, let them cage fight for entrance. Same with the college scandal, these parents think that their kids are more special and more deserving thanks to their money. ( see how I transitioned back to the top...take a hint).

Don't worry, once your kid actually starts paying real taxes and the bar is raised on your grandkids to give preference to the new illegals, you'll start to get it... (assuming they ever develop financial literacy)
