#4 Amen, john. Even if it's only 50, it's breathtakingly foolish. I'm all for widespread "hostility" between a Wahhabist "society" and the Last Bastion of Individual Freedom. Makes perfect sense. Just as taking them down and out of the World Game makes perfect sense.

I worked with these guys - and there is another rather large program that you probably don't hear about, perhaps it's even larger than this "student" BS. Aramco sends lots of "chosen" (read: Mucho Wasta) employees to the US and UK for 1 year work assignments, supposedly to "season" them with a little "international" experience, at various oil companies - who are always more than willing to take on these drones cuz nothing says sucking up to the Saudis better. If they are seriously well-connected, they have wives which they get to take. It is expected, and probably encouraged, that they crank out at least one child during the gig - which means it gets to be an instant US citizen.

If anyone here didn't think the Immigration bill debate regards automatic US citizenship wasn't important, think again. That was at least as important as any other part of the wrangling over the long run - and the Tranzi-symps knew it. The same shit happens with other hostile states, such as China, which send many thousands of their citizens here to "study". Adding it up and letting it percolate a bit and it's easy to see where this leads. It should make everyone here very very nervous and committed to overturning this moronic policy.

#6 Franks, haven't you figured out which side the academics are on? Hint: it's the same side as the MSM.
