Give Thanks for Immigrants
by noteworthy at 4:20 pm EST, Nov 26, 2004

Enjoy this holiday message from Rupert Murdoch.

Our modern public school systems simply are not producing the talent the American economy needs to compete in the future. And it often seems that it is our immigrants who are holding the whole thing up.

60% of the top science students, and 65% of the top math students, are children of immigrants. More than half of engineers -- and 45% of math and computer scientists -- with PhDs now working in the US are foreign born.

Asian Marines, Arab Marines, Latino Marines, all united in the mission of protecting the rest of us.

Then he goes on to praise the President for his immigration policies, while ignoring the president's failure to do anything to American education to change these figures and prepare America for the future.

Anyway, nice link.
