Stacey Campfield, the man who is to the state legislature what Greg Lambert is to the county commission, proposes that the state colleges and universities should screen out undocumented immigrants.

Not that anyone has ever really said its a big problem, mind you....

Apparently none of these

Apparently none of these nativists, like Campfield, have bothered reading the news. Here is the latest article that skilled immigrant workers are actually leaving the US and not coming back.

As the debate over H-1B workers and skilled immigrants intensifies, we are losing sight of one important fact: The U.S. is no longer the only land of opportunity. If we don't want the immigrants who have fueled our innovation and economic growth, they now have options elsewhere. Immigrants are returning home in greater numbers. And new research shows they are returning to enjoy a better quality of life, better career prospects, and the comfort of being close to family and friends.

Poor Stacey

If isn't the Gay Education Classes in Knox County that are corrupting our youth, it must be all the illegal immigrant undergraduates that are using up UT's state funding. I have taught 2000 students in my UT career and not one was an illegal immigrant. Stacey needs paper tigers to keep the wingnuts happy, the truth is too scary to confront.
