You want me to be outraged because only 400,000 per year are deported. I think the backlog in the courts is pretty long.

What percent of the 50 million illegal drug users are convicted each year?...

Immigration reform is about changing the law. Changing the law is not the same as breaking the law.

The triangle inequality principle guarantees a longer path.

I've known lots of people who break drug laws, who violate traffic laws, who fail to pay sales tax on internet purchases, who drink alcohol underage, who serve alcohol to the underaged, who inflate...

Yes, the motor voter law should be enforced.

Arizona's unconstitutional law did not institute proof of eligibility to vote. Drivers Licenses do not prove citizenship.

I think the Court would strike that down too. Even Long John Clarence Thomas would vote to chuck that.

I call bull****. Many non-citizens have drivers licenses. It's not proving citizenship.

Even Scalia can't turn a blind eye to Republican strategies to disenfranchise voters.

Two shoes.

Last night I watched El Infierno on Netflix streaming. Loved it!

It's a dark comedy with Kill Bill violence and a hot **** scene*.

I must admit that, as a middle cl**** white male, I once benefitted from no-**** affirmative action.

Following OU grad school, I applied for a teaching position in Norman. Both the principal...

In the admissions to selective colleges, students of Asian descent get the shaft. If the criteria were solely based on GPA, SAT/ACT scores, AP and Honors course performance, they would have a much...

For example at the Univ of California campuses the criteria are:

The 14 factors are:

Academic grade point average in all completed "a-g" courses [college-prep courses], including additional...

California's university systems removed race/ethnicity as an admissions factor back in the 1990s. Admission is based on a list of 14 or so criteria.

An important question is, Who determines the...

Perhaps as more ethnic/national heritage intermarriages and multi-ethnic/nationality offspring are born we move in that direction.

Yes, that's the way the law is now. green card does not require knowledge of English but citizenship does. And getting a green card has never obligated the person to become a citizen. Some do,...

Following a student visa for graduate school, they can work for a year or 18 months under an F-visa and/or they might obtain a J-visa to work for two years - depending on their home country. These...

Student visas are non-immigrant visas. They don't become eligible for green cards after 10 years. That is why you find some Chinese students, for example, who disappear into Chinatown or other...

Follow the money.

Good to see you're on board, Phil!

the number, compared to 1986 is much greater. Seasonal workers used to routinely go home. But the tighter border kept them in the U.S. and led to many to bring family members to the U.S. The $3000...

The gov't isn't giving them the jobs. The private sector is.

What do you mean nothing?

They increased the number of border patrol agents from 3000 to 21,000. They built 700 miles of new fencing. They instituted several technological inhibitors such as...

jimmer hasn't done much with a bad team, but he might do well on a good one. But with Martin on the roster, I don't know what jimmer adds to OKC.

I think Stern is retiring. Sacramento actually had an arena plan in place last year, with city council approval, but the Maloofs backed out. They needed to sell the team at top profit.

The Maloofs got top dollar by using Seattle. There is no way the team would have sold at that price if they had simply negotiated with a Sacramento group of buyers.

The consolation prize for...

Btw, EU issued a warning it's not safe to travel to Oklahoma.

good explanation what is going on:

I have a colleague at work from China who wanted to major in physics but the gov't decided she should be a math major instead.

When I went to New York a couple of years ago, I checked out Donut Plant. Bobby Flay challenged them to a donut throwdown and lost.

Well, it's not like they're going to use all the Oklahoma taxpayers' money and then move to Texas.

The next movie I'll see is Before Midnight. I can hardly wait.

I guess the more interesting game is returning those items the next day for refund.

I read recently that for residents about 41% of the cost is paid by tuition and fees, 42% paid by the taxpayers, and the rest paid by other revenue generated by OU. So I'm talking about what is...

Well in-state tuition to OU is about 60% off the sticker price. If you can get a Ferrari at 60% off, it's probably a good investment.

Yes, I agree with you -- if they don't want to go away to college then they shouldn't. Only if they really want it.

Of course it's more valuable at Harvard or Yale. If you take freshmen level courses at Harvard or Yale, you have over a 90% chance of graduating from Harvard or Yale.

If you take those courses...

This seems to be a popular notion. There may be good reasons for going to a JUCO such as (1) the student didn't have a solid college preparation in high school and needs to develop academically...

I don't know how it would be a shot in the foot. If we sit on it a while it's not going away.

BTW, California is coming back baby!!!!
