Today's Letter: An California High School Student Reports From
The Front
Line
From: Michael Holz msholz@sbcglobal.net
Just thought that people would be interested in hearing one
from the front
lines. As a high school student, I can see first-hand that one
thing the
massive Hispanic immigration is doing to California is that the
standards
once used to judge "success" and "achievement" are gradually
being erased,
and then re-written at a much lower level.
For example, to gain admission to some of the highly-selective
campuses in
the UC system such as Berkeley, Santa Barbara, or San Diego, it
is no longer
good enough to have high test scores, good grades, and
extracurricular
involvement.
Now, you need to have overcome some sort of hardship.
Whether it be that you are a "person of color" or that your
family illegally
moved here from some seething Third World country, you need a
hardship to
put down on paper.
All of the sudden, because I'm white and from a stable home,
all the
advantages that my parents have worked so hard to give me have
been erased -
because I've had "an easy time."
I saw a prime example last year. Two friends applied to the
same UC campus.
One was the school president, had a high GPA and equally high
test scores,
tons of honors classes.and happened to be a white male.
My other friend lacked any of the above. He was seen as having
only a
slight chance of admission. But he was of Mexican descent, with
parents who
didn't speak English that well.
As you may have guessed, my white friend was denied. My Mexican
friend was
not only admitted, but admitted as a Regent Scholar or some
other sort of
title.
He is now attending the UC school of his choice - and barely
getting by.
There are thousands of stories like this across California.

Doug Says: In respect to your problem with prejudicial college
admissions, since Universities are not Government Agencies they
can do just about what they want in respect to admission
policies. Nevertheless, the US Supreme Court recently ruled
that race and other factors can be used as part of the
determining factor for college admission.
However, should a college or university deny a majority of
qualified white males so as to provide diversification, it is up
to the white male population of California to form an association
for the express purpose of boycotting any school that takes such
"determining factors" to an extreme. Keep in mind however, that
your friend, the former class president, will be able to enter
College in several alternative schools, but your friend of
Mexican dissent probably had only one chance to get into
University, and that one chance was because the University used
race and hardship as a determining factor for admissions.
I know it seems like reverse discrimination to you, but think
about it: Your white male friend has a choice of dozens of
schools, and he was denied by only one. Whereas your Latino
friend only had a single opportunity to enter college. In the
end both of your friends will end up with a degree, but if the
university did not consider hardship and race as "determining
factors" for admission, then only your white male friend would
have obtained a degree.
My recommendation is California should grant state amnesty for
any illegals presently working in the State...under the following
conditions:
1. At least one member of the family must be gainfully employed,
and prove it.
2. Once a family qualifies for State Amnesty then state services
can be provided, for as long as at least one member of the family
stays gainfully employed.
3. Identification will be issued to any family that qualifies
for amnesty.
4. This "State Amnesty" process will immediately identify the
employers of these illegals, and as long as such employers employ
State Amnesty workers such employers will be required to pay a
special tax to the State of California to help defray the costs
of state services.
