I think his point is that there is much more to be being an American than a few pieces of paper and the luck of squirting out of your Mom's vagina in the right place.

Just like knowing the subject matter in school doesn't mean you have a degree.
Paperwork is required.
The truth is it is near impossible to prove after the fact. Most inbound from the south know to get to the hosp to birth, just for that reason.

If I read correctly, this is a school restriction, not the state?

No, it is all state universities in Georgia. They have to all comply with the state law. It doesn't stop kids going k-12, just to college.

All of the universities in the state lobbied against the law as well as the aforementioned farmers earlier in the thread because massive amounts of the states crops went unpicked this past season and will next season as well.

Let's see...if confronted with the prospect of losing a free ride to a major university due to a lack of "documentation" that proves that I was born in the U.S. and am a citizen, what do I do? Do I raise hell and find a way to get the necessary documentation because dammit, "I'm a citizen and this is crap"!? Or do I decommit citing "personal reasons" and start considering schools with no policy on illegals?

Think about it. The family is not helping itself by lying about his status.

It wasn't his grades, it was the new immigration law. He could go to another SEC school with no problems. It is the states effort to drive out illegal immigrants that caused this.

Probably couldn't go to bama or auburn. They've got a crazy law like that that's hurting their agriculture too.

Idiocy. So we're supposed to be able to absorb all of the world's poor transients? Yeah, that's feasible.

The Statue of Liberty...ever heard of it? Look up the inscription on it...

If they come in legally, I have no problem with immigration...rich, poor or otherwise.

If his parents are illegal, that's one issue.

If the kid was born on U.S. soil, he should be allowed the same rights whether it was in his parent's house or a hospital. Denying a child a dream who grew up an American is an absolute abomination of a policy. He didn't pick where he was born - he took the cards he was dealt and parlayed them into a D1 scholarship offer to his dream school. He did nothing wrong, let him play.

And if they don't, come to UT! :)

Well said. It's not right to hold kids responsible for the actions of their parents.

Umm Native Americans aren't from this continent either. They just happened to be the first ones to migrate over here. But it doesn't matter cause some people have been brainwashed into thinking that everyone is an illegal immigrant and that's all there is to it.

Carry on with your ignorance (just some of you, there are plenty of well informed people out there)

Those that think it is OK for illegal immigration must not mind that they have to use illegal ID's, SS #'s, Driver's licenses, etc. to find legal work and live here. When you side with that you are siding against those immigrants that chose to do it right as well as fellow citizens. So I would suggest that those folk need to be the ones that have their ID's stolen and taxed extra so they can fully support their undocumented friends. As to their children being born here, that loophole will be closed soon. Parents being illegally here should not give rights to a child that had no choice where they were born.

The first people to inhabit a land are not there illegally - dumb argument. Not by any legal, ethical, or moral definition. Spoken by a guy with Cherokee blood in him as well.

For what it's worth there is no problem with inmates choosing to work the farms as the link suggested. Either that or staying cooped up in a cesspool day after day? Easy decision.

The law is the law even in Georgia. Comply, go somewhere else, or do nothing.

Umm where are your well informed ideas coming from?? The last time I checked ,the native Americans (key word being NATIVE ) were the first recorded inhabitants of the americas. Wonder where they got the title "native americans" maybe its been a mistake all this time and Columbus was referring to the "naive Americans for which are yet to come " maybe brush up on your history before you start slinging crap all around the room.

He is saying that because they came from Asia. They didn't spring up out of the ground in North America.

Most people don't have the option to come here and live legally. If you don't have close family here or some type of specialized skill/degree that is in high demand, you're out of luck. Also, many people who do come here the legal route wind up losing status through no fault of their own. I work with a lot of battered women whose immigration status is tied to that of their husband. They have 2 options: stay with their spouse and get abused, or leave and become "illegal." That's not the stereotype that most people have in their heads, but it is a lot more common than you think.

Remember that families have mixed immigration status. Laws like the ones in AL, GA, AZ, etc. rip them apart.

If you owned a farm would you be excited about hiring 50 convicted felons?

Or if you are a legal resident woking on farm and your boss tells you that he is replacing the illegals with convicted felons?

They tried it and it did not work. Farmers did not want them and they were not serious about working. Feel free to apply.
