    Not to be a /. /snob, but this story was on the boingboing.net and wired.com websites for a while before slashdot picked it up.

    Slashdot should just set up an RSS feed from boingboing and rebroadcast it in the Slashdot template.

    respek!

    Their technical knowledge isn't lacking but their common sense definitely is. And even a criminal can be a genius in his/her field.

    Right on... Any illegal should go back right over the board. They are not disadvantage students they are ILLEGAL students. I read something that California's Health Care System is falling apart because of treating Illegals. Why don't they treat them and then arrest them for breaking the law. Thne send them back over the border.

    Better yet, lets deal harshly with the goverment of Mexico that is producing a guide on how to bypass the border patrol in COMIC book form so illegals that can't read know how to make it to America. President Bush needs to get tough on immigration and no more pardons for ILLEGALS
