Thread: Dream Act Would Pass If Immigrants looked like Norwegians

World education rankings: which country does best at reading, maths and science?

By the previous Chart,

Norway is nr 9 and Mexico is dead last.



BTW Norwegian students on a whole, do better than United States students, so in effect they would help improve U S schools.

Mexico... Dead last In all categories.... These are the best and the brightest ("dreamers and friends") according to Obama,Durbin,Pelosi,and the DemoRATS et al....

I think if we got all the illegal aliens out of here including those from the country of "dead last" and have our scores actually reflect the scores of American Students, we'd see quite an exceptional improvement.

According to the education rankings is the reason why this country no longer takes people from countries like Mexico. They are not doing jobs Americans won't do if you look at how immigration determines who can stay here. Years ago there were quotas for greencards from various countries. Now we have a points system which determines who can come and eductaion and career do weigh heavily on it. The only acception is the greenacrd lottery.

The South American countries on that one are even lower than Mexico. We have a large percentage of illegals in Florida that have overstayed visas from those countries. They too do not score high enough on the points system just as the Mexicans and thus become illegals unless they are able to marry someone here in order to obtain a greencard.

Well, if he's from Mexico, he could look like a Northern or Southern European or a Native American. Does that help

Take it one step forward and look at the 100 Top Universities. None of the countries we have alot of illegals from even made the list! The Dream Act would have brought us down.

The highest one from 100-200 is Brazil at 150 and the highest Mexican University is tied at 151 as is Argentina.
