    Dinesh D'Souza's list of the 10 great things about America.
    Prof. at Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

    2-- America offers more opportunity and social mobility than any other country, including the countries of Europe. America is the only country that has created a population of "self-made tycoons." Only in America could Pierre Omidyar, whose parents are Iranian and who grew up in Paris, have started a company like eBay. Only in America could Vinod Khosla, the son of an Indian army officer, become a leading venture capitalist, the shaper of the technology industry, and a billionaire to boot. Admittedly tycoons are not typical, but no country has created a better ladder than America for people to ascend from modest circumstances to success.

    Heck, if America weren't so great, why would:
    1) people be so jealous of us;
    2) Be trying to sneak in here in any way that they can?

    America, be proud!

    I think you should let good people in, but send not good one out. Then USa only be good country. Send out people not work, watch Jerry Springer, make babies.

    Hoover Institute
    "
    The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace is a libertarian public policy think tank and library founded by Herbert Hoover at Stanford University, his alma mater. Some of its fellows have connections to or position in the Bush administration. The Institution was founded in 1919 and over time has amassed a huge archive of documentation related to President Hoover, World War I, and World War II, specifically focusing on the perceived root causes of these wars from a particular point of view.

    The Hoover Institution is especially influential in the American neoconservative and libertarian movements. Since 2001, Hoover has published Policy Review.

    I'm reminded of something someone said in another topic (Political Debate)
    The issue here is "America offers more opportunity and social mobility than any other country".[​IMG]
