Read this:The Crimson's survey of more than 50 percent of incoming freshmen in Harvard College’s Class of 2021 asked them about their backgrounds and expectations for life on campus. Read Part I of The Crimson's three-part series on the freshman survey:By Graham W. Bishai and Dianne LeeAs Harvard administrators have taken new steps to support first-generation and low-income students, more than 16 percent of freshmen are the first in their families to attend college, according to The Crimson’s annual survey of incoming students.Last spring, Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana rejected a proposal to create a “bridge program” for these students to transition to college. After public outcry, the College announced in March it would hire a “First-Gen Low Income Student Advocate” to advise these students in their transition to life at Harvard.In August, the college also announced it would pilot a new pre-orientation program—not the rejected bridge program, but a similar program to help freshmen “from historically marginalized communities” begin at the College.In the survey, first generation students were much more likely to report a lower family income than students who did not report being first generation. Only 2.2 percent of first generation students reported that their parents earn more than $250,000 per year, while around 41.8 percent of students who had at least one parent attend college reported a family income above $250,000.Around 41 percent of first generation respondents reported coming from a household making $40,000 or less per year, while just 5.9 percent of respondents whose parents went to college came from a family with this income level.Each year, as incoming students prepare to travel to Cambridge to begin their time at the College, The Crimson emails each class member asking them to participate in a survey. The anonymous questionnaire asks them several questions ranging from their SAT score and religious views to their opinions of current campus and political affairs. Of the roughly 1,700-member class, 853 freshmen responded, representing roughly 50 percent of the class. The Crimson did not adjust the survey results for any possible selection bias.This first piece of The Crimson’s three-part look into the Class of 2021 examines the the makeup of the incoming College freshman class, analyzing demographic information including ethnicity, gender, family, and secondary school of respondents, as well as financial aid and admission statistics.DemographicsLike in previous years, the surveyed members of Harvard’s incoming class are largely white, straight, and wealthy. The majority of respondents—53 percent—identified as female, while 46.6 percent identified as male. About 0.4 percent identified as transgender.52.1 percent of surveyed students said they are white, 23.8 percent of respondents identified as Asian, 11.4 percent as Black or African American, 10.2 percent as Hispanic or Latino, 1.7 percent as American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.8 percent as Pacific Islander.82.5 percent percent of respondents said they identify as straight, 5.6 percent said they are gay, and 7.9 percent said they are bisexual. Roughly 3 percent reported that they are questioning their sexual orientation.80 percent of respondents who said they are gay were male, while students who identified as bisexual were more likely to identify as female, with 62 percent of bisexual respondents being female.Mouse over region to see data.Harvard’s class hails from largely from the coasts, with a plurality— 39.4 percent—of students coming from the Northeast. The Southwestern states—Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma—sent fewer students than any other region, with 6.9 percent of respondents hailing from those states. One in eight students comes from outside the United States and its territories.Around 10 percent of surveyed freshmen come from rural areas, an increase from 8.7 percent of survey respondents in the Class of 2020. The majority—61.3 percent—of surveyed freshmen hailed from a suburban area while 28.5 percent came from urban areas.Monetary MattersResults from the survey show a correlation between a freshman’s ethnicity and the amount of money their parents make in a year. White students were almost twice as likely as black respondents to come from families making over $250,000 per year. Among students identifying as white, 42 percent reported coming from families making over $250,000 per year.Among Hispanic and Latino respondents, 24 percent reported coming from families making over $250,000 per year. 22 percent of African American respondents, and 35 percent of Asian students reported this same parental income level.Black and Latino respondents were also more likely than white and Asian respondents to come from a household with an annual parental income of $40,000 or less. 17.6 percent of African American respondents reported a parental combined yearly income of $40,000 or less, while this income level accounted for 13.5 percent of Latino or Hispanic respondents, 9.2 percent of White identifying respondents, and 7.8 percent of Asian identifying respondents.Roughly 17 percent—about one in six students—come from families who make $500,000 or more, while about 12 percent come from families making less than $40,000 per year.Students with one or more parent who attended Harvard College reported higher parental income levels on average than non-legacy students. 17.5 percent of respondents—more than one in six—reported having one or both parents who attended Harvard College.Nine percent of students who reported having no relatives who attended Harvard came from households making upwards of $500,000 per year, whereas 46 percent of legacy students reported this household income.According to the College, the cost of attending Harvard in the 2017-18 academic year is $65,609, including tuition, room, and board. Although the sticker price of attending the College may be high, more than half of the Class members responding to the survey receive some sort of financial aid from the College. In recent years, the College has initiated a three-year pilot “start-up” grant program, which awards additional financial resources to students in the Class of 2020, 2021, and 2022 who come from low-income families. Students whose parents make a combined annual income of less than $65,000 attend the College for free.The majority of surveyed students, 55.45 percent, reported receiving some form of financial aid from the College. Roughly 66 percent of surveyed freshmen who said they attended public school reported receiving financial aid, compared to 35.5 percent of respondents from private schools.Almost all first generation students were beneficiaries of the College’s financial aid program, with 95 percent saying they received financial aid.High School HighlightsThis spring, the College admitted 5.2 percent of applicants, or 2,056 students of nearly 40,000 applicants, into the Class of 2021. The acceptance rate was marginally lower than that of the Class of 2020, continuing the College’s downward trend in admissions numbers in recent years.17 percent of surveyed students reported seeking college application advice from a private admissions counselor from outside of their high schools. Of that number, 32 percent reported that their parents made more than $500,000 in a year, while 11 percent said their parents make less than $40,000.60.3 percent of respondents went to a non-charter public school, 35.7 percent went to a private school, and 3.2 percent went to a charter school. Less than 1 percent of surveyed students said that they had been homeschooled.Legacy students were more likely to have graduated from a private school than a public school.58.7 percent of surveyed legacy students attended a private school, whereas 40 percent came from public school.Respondents reported an average GPA on an unweighted 4.0 scale of 3.94.66 percent of students reported attending a secondary school that ranked members of their class. Of that number, 73 percent were ranked in the top 2 percent of their class. 59 percent of students who had at least one parent attend Harvard and whose schools ranked, reported being in the top 2 percent of their class.A majority of surveyed freshmen—53.5 percent—were accepted early to Harvard. 39.3 percent of first-generation students and 69 percent of legacy students were accepted into Harvard’s early admissions program.And funny enough, they went ahead and described their trad’l adversary’s class backgrounds:Meet the YaliesBy Caroline S. Engelmayer and William L. WangThough they’ll be rooting for different teams at The Game, the freshman classes at Harvard and Yale look remarkably similar demographically, according to surveys distributed to the Ivy League rivals’ Classes of 2021.The Crimson and the Yale Daily News, the New Haven school’s student newspaper, polled the incoming freshman classes of their respective universities in August on a variety of topics. The YDN received responses from 1,143 students, a response rate of 72 percent. The Crimson received responses from 853 freshmen, representing roughly 50 percent of the class. Neither The Crimson nor the YDN adjusted for selection bias.Both freshmen classes count a similar—and disproportionately high—proportion of families making over $250,000 per year, the 97th income percentile in the United States. Over a third of the freshmen respondents at both schools reported family incomes above $250,000. 17.1 percent of surveyed students at Harvard and 14.7 percent at Yale reported family incomes over $500,000.The two schools reported markedly similar racial and ethnic composition. 52.1 percent of surveyed students at Harvard identified as white, compared to 49.7 percent at Yale. Of the Yale respondents, 25 percent identified as Asian, 8.9 percent as black, and 11.3 percent as Hispanic or Latino, roughly similar to Harvard.Still, over half of freshman respondents at both schools said they receive financial aid: 55.5 percent of Harvard’s class of 2021 and 52.3 percent of their New Haven counterparts.Both freshman classes are majority female, with women comprising 53.1 percent of Harvard’s respondents and 53.6 percent of Yale’s. Transgender students comprise 0.4 percent and 0.2 percent of the Harvard and Yale respondents, respectively.More Harvard freshmen respondents identified themselves as straight than did at Yale—82.5 percent versus 77.4 percent. Seven percent of Yale freshmen and 5.6 percent of Harvard freshman respondents identified themselves as gay, while 7.9 percent of Harvardians and 8.6 percent of Yalies said they were bisexual.The majority of respondents in both classes come from the Northeast—39.4 percent from Harvard and 36.6 percent from Yale. Roughly 12 percent of Harvard respondents were from outside the United States compared to about 18 percent of Yale respondents.Harvard freshmen have more previous connections to the University than their Yale counterparts: While 71 percent of Yale respondents said they did not know of any relatives who had attended their university, only 58.8 percent of Harvard respondents responded similarly.—Staff writer Caroline S.

Possibly study and pull out all the details that might line your path towards Harvard-dom or Yale-dom years later.You can do the same with all the other Ivy League schools: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, or the University of Pennsylvania.However, maybe you’re not looking to just get into an Ivy League. You could look into other top universities that I’ve identified over the years.Others listed beyond the Ivy League include:BerkeleyCalTechCambridge - a bit oldMITOxford - a bit oldStanfordAs you become more intimate with the profile of a potential candidate at any of these top universities, you can then find a way to “fit the mold.”The other option is to read some of the top admissions consultants blogs or websites like one I know is #1 in Korea & potentially responsible for the country that may send more kids to the top universities than any other nation per capita. The Universities themselves also have blogs like:HarvardMITNYUGeorgia TechUniv of VirginiaVanderbiltUSC Undergraduate Admission BlogAnd here’s a smattering of some consultants’ blogs: Compass Education Group or Blog | Revolution Prep or College Admissions Blog & News | Top Tier Admissions, Blog | College Counselors, College Admissions Counseling | Collegewise or CollegePrep 360’s BlogLastly, some other websites that like to track it like Thought Co or essays on the topic like this one might help too.Here’s some specific advice from the top peer to peer college consulting company today AdmitSee for the Personal Statement which has significant weight with the top tier programs:WHAT DO YOU CALL YOUR PARENTS?The terms “father” and “mother” appeared more frequently in successful Harvard essays, while the term “mom” and “dad” appeared more frequently in successful Stanford essays.HARVARD LIKES DOWNER ESSAYSAdmitSee found that negative words tended to show up more on essays accepted to Harvard than essays accepted to Stanford. For example, Shyu says that “cancer,” “difficult,” “hard,” and “tough” appeared more frequently on Harvard essays, while “happy,” “passion,” “better,” and “improve” appeared more frequently in Stanford essays.Students who take risks with the content and the structure of their college essays tend to be more successful across the board.This also had to do with the content of the essays. At Harvard, admitted students tended to write about challenges they had overcome in their life or academic career, while Stanford tended to prefer creative personal stories, or essays about family background or issues that the student cares about. “Extrapolating from this qualitative data, it seems like Stanford is more interested in the student’s personality, while Harvard appears to be more interested in the student’s track record of accomplishment,” Shyu says.With further linguistic analysis, AdmitSee found that the most common words on Harvard essays were “experience,” “society,” “world,” “success,” “opportunity.” At Stanford, they were “research,” “community,” “knowledge,” “future” and “skill.”WHAT THE OTHER IVIES CARE ABOUTIt turns out, Brown favors essays about volunteer and public interest work, while these topics rank low among successful Yale essays. In addition to Harvard, successful Princeton essays often tackle experiences with failure. Meanwhile, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania tend to accept students who write about their career aspirations. Essays about diversity—race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation—tend to be more popular at Stanford, Yale, and Brown.Based on the AdmitSee’s data, Dartmouth and Columbia don’t appear to have strong biases toward particular essay topics. This means that essays on many subjects were seen favorably by the admissions departments at those schools. However, Shyu says that writing about a moment that changed the student’s life showed up frequently in essays of successful applicants to those schools.

This “cowboy” is one of the biggest Myths in American history.The term “Cowboy” is neatly described as a : farm hand, or ranch hand, or, Buckaroo, cattle/horse rustler, or, farm laborer, or, Drifter, or, Cow Poke, or Cow boy, etc.The Common Laborer’s of their time, UN-educated, Poor, and Drifting from one farm or ranch job to another. Most could not read or write, and some were in bad health, mostly due to physical injuries from horses and cattle. There was no laundry mats, no doctors or dentists, no proper toilet paper / outhouses, and no western-ware stores for clothes and boots. They wore the same dirty, UN-washed, heavily-stained clothes for months, or even years … would sometimes take a “bath” when they crossed a river, or, pond. Use your Imagination …The ones who failed as Cow boy, ranch hand, or, Buckaroo, would most likely become a home-less, Saloon Rat.THIS Truth-based Profile has never been presented by Hollywood … Otherwise, they would Lose Box-office Revenue, instead, they Marketed the Hell out of an Over-Romanticized, Money-making Myth.Disclaimer - With Northern New Mexico as one of my home state area’s, while growing on farms and ranches, have always been a fan of certain epic Western movies. But, the truth is that it was always dependent on the Actor’s performance (male & female), the Director’s, Producers, and Cinematographers … that could translate and transform a Western-based Book (like Lonesome Dove 1, as an example) into a spectacular iconic film, And, especially when it was shot with John Wayne in Monument Valley, Utah.Basic criteria to be hired as a Cow Boy included any of the following, but is not all-inclusive :Be ready to take and carry out orders from the farmer’s or rancher’s assigned Foreman, and/or, themselves.Be Physical fit for hard labor, and ready to bunk down anywhere on the ground.Accept any/all Working Conditions, AND, often they were Poorly Paid.Repeat - Be able to work for long hours, day and/or, night, under any type of weather conditions.Be experienced enough to work with BOTH Cattle and HorsesHave your own Horse and tack.Accept that Work comes first, so may not get fed, and/or, Poor Food rations is more likely a reality.Again, accept Poor Pay, or Under-Paid, or Cheated out of pay.MOST could NOT afford a Rifle, much LESS a Brand New, Shiny, 1880 Colt .45 caliber, single-action, Peacemaker revolver, or, a 1873 Colt Single Action Army Revolver, or a 1870 Smith & Wesson Model 3 Revolver.Ammo and daily maintenance - cowboys had enough on their hands to have any extra time in a day, to clean their $$$ revolver.Most farmers , ranchers and sometimes the town Sheriff would issue Rifle’s or Side-arms to their “HIRED Hand’s”, But, only when absolutely necessary.Outlaw’s, Gambler’s, Cattle/Horse Thieves, and other types of Criminals - they could AFFORD the best Side-arms and Rifles.The Indian’s, versus, the Cow boys Myth - in Reality, the majority of the battles were the specific Tribe’s or Band’s, fighting the US Cavalry (who were at the behest of the WH, Congress, and the Newspaper’s). After the Transcontinental Railway, was completed on May 10th, 1869, from the East Coast to the Pacific, the Northern & Southern Plains Indian Tribe’s, and band’s, had suffered a Warrior/fighter rate of attrition; therefore, were out in smaller and smaller numbers. At this late stage, if or when there were any fighting engagement’s, between the Indian’s protecting their remaining lands, or, out on raids, they were also facing the multitudes of new Settler’s Promised Land acquisitions, Indian bounty hunters, Cow boys, Gold Prospector’s, Buffalo hunter’s, new rancher’s, etc., in addition to the US Cavalry.So, when you hear American’s in 2020, boast about “How Their Great-Great-Great Grand-pappy Fought The Injun’s, or, Savages” … there may be a tiny kernel of truth, or, is UN-proven, as by this time the Northern & Southern Plains Indian Tribe’s, and Band’s, were both Out-gunned and Out-Numbered … But, take a scenario of One-on-One Fighting against any of the following Badasses : Mescalero Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, or Cheyenne … NFW, dude.By 2020, the total number of REAL Cowboys has dwindled significantly almost to Extinction. The Rest of the “Cowboys” that you see or run into … are ALL enjoying the Modern Conveniences of Full-Packaged Ford, Chevy & Ram Pickup trucks, while seeking the amorous Affections, Comforts, and Charms of the Rodeo Queen’s, but only By Invitation Only, Buster.In 2020, the MOST amazing Rodeo Bull Riding Champions are NOT Anglo-Americans … They are 🇧🇷 Brazilians … so it’s coming full circle.The Old West Cow boy’s 1860’s simple vocabulary (not all-inclusive) - coffee boiler, tack, boots, beans, horse/s, mule, greenbacks, Indians, chaps, grub, leaky mouth, hat, California widow, bunk house, high-falutin’, bandana, slickers, hobbled up, poke (as in ask for a poke), bread, Stetson (1865), Blacksmith, guttersnipe, in cahoots, Lasso/rope, gallop, pork& beans, saloon rat, lariat, backdoor trots, Bronco, prairie coal, barkin’ irons, paintin’ your nose, vest, bushwhacker, hair in the butter, stoved-up, Wagon train, payday, w/hores, nibbler, greasy belly, crawl his hump, seven by nine, spittoon ...Wild West Factoid #1 - Just before the start of the 1861 Civil War, all the territory West of the Mississippi … was occupied by Indian’s, Displaced Indian’s (pissed off), and outlaws. Read about Judge Parker, located at Fort Smith, Arkansas.Wild West Factoid #2 - More US Marshall’s died between 1850 thru 1880, than over the next 130 years.…☛ HOW and WHO started the Cow Boy Myth?The now famous Hollywood, emerging film-maker, John Ford, 🎥 after a few failures with trying to find the Right Genre for the Right Audience and Time … introduced a new lanky young actor by the name of ‘John Wayne’ … the rest is History and Myth.List of John Ford’s Biggest 🎞 Hit’s - Poll: John Ford's Most Spellbinding Westerns - IMDb - IMDbThus, the “Cowboy Culture” was born and emerged as a Hollywood Industry’s M&M (money maker) genre. Plus other spin-offs, made for TV programming later.Don’t watch too many Holy-Shiat-wood movies , instead Watch Bollywood cow boy movies, they are Funny as hell!.REMEMBER … Hollywood produces and market’s their Movies for ENTERTAINMENT + PROFIT.REMEMBER 2 - Movies, in general, are a Fantasy, a “Make-Believe” celluloid/digital/CGI Escape World, and whose characters are Played by “Actor’s”, because that’s what they get PAID FOR … to ACT.Cow Boy movies - some OLDER Versions have been quite Popular over time, that they were “Re-make Version’s” … like : Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, and, 3:10 To Yuma (2007) with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, who are two of my Top 25 English & Australian Actors List.But, Yuma … Really? AND, just when I thought Bruce Wayne was finally leaving NYC for an UN-known destination … HERE comes 007 Daniel Craig with “Cowboys and Alien’s” … WTF!In REALITY - cowboys were NOT intelligent, clean-shaven, hygienic, well-dressed Buckaroo’s, who were wearing Nocona or Tony Lama Boots, with a Colt or Remington side-arm appointment, waeringa favorite “Trained” Stetson, and an “expert marksman’s” Wild West, Meme-Type … that could Charm the VS lingerie off a Texas lady, living in a house of ill-repute … on a end-of-the-month Friday Pay-day.N-O.Old Western Recommendation on Amazon PRIME - most American’s have never seen this Burt Lancaster’s Western Classic … “Valdez Is Coming” (1971), AND, Silverado is worth keeping on your favorite Western’s list.AND, Yes, I’ve been to Tombstone, Arizona.…My 45-70 Sharps Rife … Are you kidding me … “From My Cold Dead Hands, MoFo”!.… Tombstone, Arizona - Hollywood Version of … Tall Hat … No Cattle.… Real Cow boys and Cook in an Open Range setting - Not Hollywood version … Boys it’s Bean’s and Bacon, again tonight, and guess what we are having tomorrow?… Valdez Is Coming.… 3:10 To Yuma.

I wrote this answer for a post on the Elephants in the Room but it’s pretty applicable here. It’s basically a Conservative perspective on Illegal Immigration.A Conservative on ImmigrationAs an outspoken right winger, who is also an immigrant, one question that I get often is “how are you a conservative when you’re an immigrant? That’s odd-aren’t they against immigration?” Frankly, in order to hold such a view, one has to subscribe to an odd sort of Identity Politics: that immigrants are on the left and that right wing parties are against immigration.There are a handful of principles that define immigration in my mind.First of all, as Stephen Harper puts it in Right Here, Right Now, immigration is essentially a “privilege, not a right”. No one has a “right” to intrude inside a sovereign country without prior approval. Note that a sizeable majority of conservatives in the Western world have nothing against legal immigration, merely illegal immigration as well as a different set of legislative mechanisms to regulate it. Sadly, it become difficult to have such discussions when any opposition to illegal immigration is branded as “racism” or “xenophobia”.The first major issue that I see with the current situation regarding immigration is economic. Historically, it’s intriguing to see that hardly 50 years ago, heck, even 20 years ago, many amongst the Left were the ones leading the charge against unrestricted illegal immigration (the trade unions come to mind). For example, California’s Democratic Governor Jerry Brown in the 1970’s was strongly against letting in the famed Vietnamese boat people stating “There’s something a little strange saying let's bring in 500,000 more people when we can’t take care of the 1,000,000 Californian’s out of a job”. Brown wasn’t the only Democrat to do so. Former Vice President and now potential Democratic Presidential frontrunner Joe Biden proposed legislation to curb such immigration. President Bill Clinton in his 1995 State of the Union Address made some comments that one could hardly imagine coming from a present day Democrat! He said and I quote:“All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens...We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrongand ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.”Odd isn’t it? If I hadn’t mentioned that it was Clinton, one could almost imagine Trump reading it! Enough about past Democratic views- let’s discuss the actual economic effects of illegal immigration. Anyone with even the most rudimentary understanding of economics could probably tell you that illegal immigration is bad economically-simple supply and demand. According to Paul Krugman (Nobel Prize winning economist, registered Democrat and former Hillary Clinton supporter) a large group of unskilled workers willing to work for low wages entering a country is obviously going to depress wages for American workers. Many claim that American workers wouldn’t take up the jobs that illegal aliens occupy even if they could; a rather elitist view of the average working person. A comparison that I found interesting is that between Canada and the US. While we in Canada have a (relatively) secure border and a somewhat controversial points system that helps determine one’s entry, the US has a much larger border with a radically different country (Mexico) and very different “less choosy” immigration system.The next major point of contention when it comes to illegal immigration is that of crime. On the campaign trail Donald Trump often claimed that illegal immigrants are responsible for all crime in America. Liberals claim that illegal immigrants commit less crime than other citizens. The truth lies somewhere in between-but not where you might think.The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that by 2014, illegal immigrants were responsible for over 13 percent of all American crime. The FBI says that a total of 115,717 murders occured in the US from 2003 through 2009. The General Accounting Office states that illegal immigrants committed 25,064 of these murders. 92 illegal immigrants imprisoned for every 100,000 illegals as compared to 74 citizens and legal non-citizen immigrants in California. In Arizona, this is 69 illegals imprisoned for every 100,000, as compared to 54 citizens and legal non-citizen immigrants. Surprisingly, its worse in the state of New York, where 169 illegal immigrants, are imprisoned for crimes per 100,000, compared to only 48 citizens and legal non-citizen immigrants. The fact of the matter is this: while illegal immigrants don’t commit as many crimes as citizens (in total), they commit far more proportionately as propen by the above statistics.There are dozens of other arguments to be made about the issues of illegal immigration; from the argument that illegal immigrants are able to utilize Government services while not fully paying taxes, to the position that it is unjust to turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants when it puts legal immigrants in a worse of position.I’d like to end, however, with some remarks on a recent news story that has been stirring up controversy. Recently, the Supreme Court announced that it would review a decision relating to the 2020 census focusing around a question which would state “Is this person a citizen of the United States of America”. A furor was ignited when a large number of states sued the administration, accusing the move of purposely depressing the participation of minorities and immigrants in the census. Conservatives take a different stance; population’s determined by the census determines the number of seats each state is given in the House of Representatives in Congress, directly affecting the Electoral College which elects the President. Counting the large amount of illegal immigrants in these states (California for example) will lead to a higher number of electoral votes being given to them. I find such a decision absurd! Why count non-citizens (especially if they are present illegally) to have such influence on an election in which citizens are voting? This isn’t some secret; star Democrat Stacey Abrams who narrowly lost an election in Georgia stated this, on record in an interview:Interviewer: So, in some cases, you would be supportive of non-citizens voting?STACEY ABRAMS: I wouldn’t be — I wouldn’t oppose it.At the end of the day, almost all on both sides agree that legal immigration was necessary in our past, is necessary today, and will continue to be in the future. However, I think it’s time for us to acknowledge that illegal immigration is not beneficial and is, as the name states rather clearly, illegal.References:Right Here Right Now by Stephen Harperhttps://www.npr.org/2019/02/19/6...https://www.c-span.org/video/?62...http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/presid...https://www.politico.com/magazin...https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.co...https://www.theatlantic.com/maga...https://www.quora.com/q/war-elephant/Democrats-are-finding-the-silver-lining-of-illegal-immigration-More-House-seatshttps://www.gao.gov/new.items/d1...https://thehill.com/blogs/pundit...https://www.npr.org/2019/02/15/6...https://www.breitbart.com/politi...
