Every State which has recently passed legislation on illegal immigrants has seen a serious dip in their State GDP. You remove economic actors who are producing funds, and expending funds, you damage the economy. It's why slashing Medicare and Military budgets does not help initially but actually harms the National GDP. We have paid for these children to be educated in the U.S., if they are capable of adding to our workforce in a meaningful way we would be throwing money away by deporting them!

When we were doing the amendments, my intro to American Government prof suggested that since the 13th amendment doesn't abolish slavery as punishment for a crime, we should enslave all illegal immigrants. 3/4 of the class laughed as if he was joking, but the other fourth was like "Wait, could we actually do that...?" sigh.
This is one of the issues that I honestly don't know much about, so I'm excited to read the responses in this thread and will get to googling.

I feel like that even if the law has the right intentions (I thought a couple of GOP members even expressed support, which says a lot), that Obama is currently so polarizing that people are going to be like OMG I HATE BECAUSE THAT COMMIE OBAMA PRODUCED IT.
People are so uneducated about the issues and candidates that it's really getting to be quite disturbing.

Bump as many of us celebrate Independence Day (the adoption of the Declaration of Independence).
MSN asks " could you get US citizenship?"
I failed with 50%. I second guessed myself on a few of the answers. Oh well, U.S. History was always my least favorite course for reasons that I will not get into.

Wait, really?
50%?
I made an 85%.
And I believe I said it, but I applaud Obama's decision on this one. I think its pandering, but so has most of the things he's done in the last three months or so.

I got two wrong, number of amendments (I chose 23, it was 27), and which one was not among the original states, I just mis-clicked on that one.
But I always liked U.S. History.

I took the quiz but the site wouldn't give me the results. They seemed pretty easy (plus they are all things I learned in middle school U.S. history) so I'm pretty sure I did well. The ones I was iffy about were the the amendments (I chose 27) and which one was not among the original (I chose Vermont).
