Probably will work for public institutions. Private colleges will come up with 'consent agreements' surrendering your rights (much like the 'I accept' box you click on for software updates) and granting the administration immunities. There will still be sheeple who'll attend such paper mills cause they have a certain (undeserved) credibility attached to their names, till they wear it out.
[IBD] House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... and Honduras first lady Ana Garcia de Hernandez are making separate tours of the south Texas border, where most of the 52,000 unaccompanied undocumented Democrat children have crossed this year.
But while the political debate has focused on U.S. immigration enforcement, a key economic factor has been lost in the clamor. Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, which are supplying three-quarters of the latest cross-border flood, are bucking a trend in Latin America toward stronger local economies based on sound reforms and security.
Those three Central American countries are dependent on their diaspora to prop up their own woeful economies. Immigrants send back billions of dollars to their families. Remittances have risen to 16.5% of El Salvador's GDP, 15.7% of Honduras' and 10% of Guatemala's, according to World Bank data. Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Bolivia rely on remittances for 4.1% to 9.7% of GDP.
But the figure drops precipitously for every other country in Latin America. Mexico, with the largest immigrant population in the U.S. with as many as 13 million people, now relies on remittances for just 2% of GDP.

#2 Mexico expels illegals. They just don't care if its to the south or the north. As long as you keep moving, pay the Mexican coyotes, and look the other way same many of your fellow travelers are yanked for slavery, Mexican government personnel are only concerned about getting their cut of the take. Why to you think the drug trade 'exploded' in Mexico? The export business was already there, they just added hyper money to the process.

Well, you certainly can't move 50,000 kids across Mexico without a lot of government corruption. Unless, of course, our president made a deal with Mexico that Congress doesn't know about. At least, the House doesn't.

The House Minority Leader is suffering from a serious mental disorder. A country cannot continue to exist if it is swamped with hordes of illegal immigrants(otherwise known as near-future Democratic voters).
[TheGuardian] Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is to defy public opinion and announce a dramatic shift in the country's defence policy that would make it easier for its troops to fight in overseas conflicts.
Abe's cabinet is expected to adopt a resolution on Tuesday that would end Japan's long-standing ban on exercising collective self-defence, or coming to the aid of an ally under attack even if Japan itself is not threatened.
Japan's postwar constitution prohibits the use of force to settle international disputes — a restriction Abe and his supporters say inhibits the country's ability to protect itself and its allies, despite growing fears over North Korea's nuclear programme and China's aggressive territorial claims in the region.
Abe's decision to introduce legislation that would reinterpret the pacifist clause in the constitution, which has prevented Japanese forces from fighting overseas since the end of the second world war, came after opinion polls indicated he would struggle to win enough support in parliament and among voters for outright constitutional reform.
The change to be approved on Tuesday would require a simple majority in both houses; his ruling Liberal Democratic party [LDP] has a comfortable majority in the lower house and controls the upper house with the support of a junior coalition partner. Changing the wording of the constitution, however, would require a two-thirds majority in both houses and a simple majority in a nationwide referendum.

If he succeeds, I expect Japan will have the material to construct a nuclear weapon three days later. They won't assemble them -- yet -- but the parts will be manufactured and stored somewhere underground. They'll be assembled within hours, once the time comes that Japan needs them.
I still say we need to sell Japan a couple of used US aircraft carriers. That would put a crimp in China's expansionist policies. It would also require someone not quite as much a wimp as the current occupant of the White House.
The world is NOT a "safe place". The only guarantee of individual freedom is enough strength to guarantee it. This is a lesson the Europeans, especially, need to learn. I think Japan has gotten the message.

IMO there will be a military conflict between China + Japan, as ... ..
> Both China + Japan see themselves as Asia's #1.
> China particularly fears a rearmed Japan, espec as armed wid Nuclear Weapons.
> As we see in the SCS + IOR, China is working hard to acquire Superpower/US-style "strategic access" for the PLA at + beyond the "First Island Chain". CHINA WELL-RECOGNIZES THAT TO DO THE SAME IN NE ASIA WILL MEAN DE FACTO MIL CONFRONTATION + WAR.
Pragmatically, it is to China's advantage to unilaterally or preemptively strike before Japan, etal. acquire NucWeaps, + before US-led GMD-TMD is permanently entrenched in East Asia.
* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > [Global Times] PLA COULD DEFEAT JSDF IN ANY MILITARY CONFLICT - JAPANESE MEDIAS.
For the reasons I have stated or described above -JAPAN HAS NEITHER THE FIGHTING MANPOWER, AIRPOWER, NOR ESPEC THE NUKES THAT CHINA DOES.
Perhaps most importantly, China covertly may have Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama on SSSSHHHHHH ....CCCCCCCCCC ITS SIDE???
* GLOBAL NATION PH > WHAT "JAPAN'S "COLLECTIVE SELF-DEFENSE" MEANS TO THE PHILIPPINES?
Japan mil intervention in the SCS, NOT just US.
* SAME [repost] > WEST PHILIPPINE SEA CHINA'S BEST SHIELD AGZ US, PAPER SAYS.
* PHIL STAR > EDITORIAL: [PAF] NO LONGER ALL AIR, NO FORCE.
* BIGNEWSNETWORK > [GMA News] FA-50'S [SoKor = 2015?] WILL MAKE PH AIR DEFENCE EFFECTIVE, AQUINO SAYS.
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA'S DF-41 ICBM CAN WIPE OUT THREE [US] CITIES IN ATTACK.
China's just sayin'.
* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > CHINA SHOULD NOT ABANDON THE RYUKYUS! CHINA'S NEW "10-DASH-LINE" VERTICAL MAP DOES NOT INDICATE ITS SOVEREIGNTY OVER OKINAWA + ARCHIPELAGO.
[Iran Press TV] US car giant General Motors has recalled up to 8.4 million more vehicles to fix an ignition switch glitch that prevents airbags from inflating.
On Monday afternoon, the embattled company announced six new recalls that involve 7.6 million vehicles in North America and 800,000 more overseas.
The recalls consist of mainly older midsize cars dating back to 1997, bringing GM's total number of recalls this year to over 29 million.

The way this is going I assume the problem is much worse than just the airbags. Any chance it locks the steering column?
#2
3dc, my mother got a recall letter yesterday. It warned that the car could suddenly slip from power to manual steering, In this case, turning the engine off and on again might fix the problem as a short term fix. There are as yet no parts to effect repairs, but when there are she will be contacted.
My mother is eighty-eight. This is not something she is equipped to deal with, especially in the midst of moving into an independent living apartment far from her previous home.

I own a Toyota, my Grandson owned (Note past tense) A Chevy Truck (Now a Toyota) After the Chevy tuck couldn't keep axles in it, The Toyota has no problems. (Take that Chevy)
GM was bailed out, A big mistake, It should have been Cleaned out.

Just remember, the "new" GM had to be legally isolated from the "old" GM because mass defects are a thing of the past, there's no reason old owners legal claims could go forward.
In investment news, GMAC finance credit bonds are selling at junk bond prices (high risk), and betting is Saturn, Buick, Opel, and a few other shouldn't bother planning new models.

[Iran Press TV] Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says Kiev will not extend the 10-day ceasefire with pro-Russia protesters in eastern Ukraine.
President Poroshenko made the statement on his website on Tuesday.
"We will attack and free our lands. The decision not to continue the ceasefire is our answer to terrorists, Death Eaters and marauders," he said.
Poroshenko declared a seven-day ceasefire with pro-Russia protesters on June 20 and later extended it to 10 days.
Before the ceasefire's expiration, Ukraine's president discussed the situation with Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... , German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... , and French President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... during a four-way phone call.

[Pak Daily Times] Ukraine looked primed to extend a shaky truce in the conflict-hit east of the country after frantic talks involving the leaders of Russia, La Belle France and Germany as a ceasefire deadline neared.

The deadline for the current truce runs out at 1900 GMT on Monday but violence has rumbled on regardless with no end in sight to months of fighting that has claimed some 450 lives.
