Lazy Americans

In the last couple of years, I've had the privilege of working with a lot of college students in various career mentoring programs, and one thing has always stood out at me.
Probably about two thirds or more of the applications for NYSSA's SEMI Program come from either immigrants to this country or children of immigrants. Now, I know that's generally not reflective of the general NYC college student population, so, a disproportionately large percentage of the foreign students are taking advantage of this great opportunity.
I asked one student about this and he told me that education and opportunity is the only reason that he was here--it was the only reason his whole family came here in the first place.
What's really obvious to me is that a lot of the native born students here are simply going to get steamrolled by competition like that... and as well they should be.
So maybe instead of closing the borders, we should be trying to figure out how we can get the people that are here as motivated as the people trying to come here.

Comments from people regarding this article.
I think the problem is, students are being spoonfed too much both at home and in schools. Everything is dumbed down early on from school material to forms of entertainment to the arms, and children get so used to being bored and not caring, not trying to overcome a challenge, that they grow up extremely unmotivated.

Yep, how we can get the people that are here as motivated as the people trying to come here? Excellent question!

cause iran wants to make nuclear power ( or maybe nuclear weapons ) you wont them to do that ? so why ? you have nuclear weapons too right ?
saddam was bad as you all think , so whats yer business ? he invaded kuwait again whats your business ? who told you to invade iraq what do you want from iraq ? who told you that you can do anything you want ? or its just cause you have the same minds like hitler ? you love your self ? you think you are the best ? if you think that you are the best nobody told you no . so why your doing that ? where is your freedom that you always talk about ? why all you people are not that educated ? is there any christians here ? if yes jesus told us about love not hate ?
and the big question is why you put yourself everywhere no body told you to do that !

From what I understand GW didnt do so great in HS. So how did he get into yale with a C average? And doesnt this seem unfair to those who actually had the grades?

We'd be a lot better off without them. We'd get stem cell research, gay marriage, and help for the poor! We should make like our fathers, the English, and just dump them all in Australia.

A neighbor has placed 400 head of buffalo on a 160 acre pivot. A four wire fence does not seem adequate to contain them. Our laws do not reflect protection for neighbors, other livestock or motorists on a nearby highway. Do other states legislate containment requirements? If so, what?
