Re: Athena Kerry’s Blog:
ABA Promoting Illegal Law School Quotas?
Kerry makes a good point but doesn't go far enough.
The real travesty is immigrants, legal and illegal,
and their offspring being eligible for affirmative
action.
The concept of affirmative action was intended to
redress past discrimination and slavery against
Blacks and American Indians. They were the original
and only
affirmative action beneficiaries.
It
should have been left like that.
A
week ago, Blacks were railing against
UCLA admission standards because there are so few
blacks that can get in. Only 2 percent of this fall’s
incoming freshman class is Black. [A
Startling Statistic at UCLA Rebecca Trounson,
Los Angeles Times, June 3, 2006]
Many more Hispanics than Blacks enter UCLA and it’s a
safe bet most
got in via affirmative action. Why should the son of
two
Mexicans who just got here 20 years ago be eligible
for affirmative action and be admitted while
my children are denied?
If
the
G. W. Bush/Senate immigration bill gets passed then
we'll have millions more Hispanics who can cut ahead of
my children and me at work and university admissions.
This is infuriating especially since most Hispanics in
the U.S. arrived here after 1950.
Johnson owned and operated a limousine and taxi business
in a large northeastern city for many years. He notes
that immigrants, legal and illegal, are magnetically
attracted to cash businesses where they can cheat on
their taxes.
