Immigration and Education --> An important issue that is often ignored...

Who gets amnesty?

Do the American people want to give amnesty only to people who know secret techniques for successfully evading immigration law for a number of years?

What prevents the US government from creating and publishing educational materials that would teach evasion of US immigration law?

Should this important knowledge be available only to the privileged few or should it be available in libraries and bookstores throughout the world?

Look at this:

President Bush's decision to rejoin the organization (i.e. to rejoin UNESCO) recognizes that significant changes have occurred. UNESCO's recent work has promoted core values such as press freedom and education for all.

Which is it: education for all or education just for people who have privileged access to unpublished information?

1. Huh?

What prevents the US government from creating and publishing educational materials that would teach evasion of US immigration law?

Let me understand this correctly?

You are asking if the US government should publish material to teach people to break the law?

O.K. just checking :shrug:

2. If people are not caught breaking immigration law, then they eventually

become legal immigrants. The question is: can the US government help level the playing field for everyone who wants to take that path to becoming a legal immigrant?

Right now, if someone goes to the INS and says "I am in the US illegally", what happens? Should the US government encourage or discourage reporting of violations of the law?

So I wouldn't be surprised if the govement did this either.
