2/3 of College Students Sign Petition to Deport Americans for Illegal Aliens

Petition signing is a business. Every day men and women with clipboards troll the streets around campus areas working for contractors who are outsourced by non-profits like Greenpeace to get people to sign on to a petition for the whales, the children or clean energy.

It’s not really about the petition. It’s about collecting information for a mailing list. Campus areas are targeted because if you have a stupid cause, you’re more likely to get signatures there.

It’s an experiment that has been tested for decades with all sorts of stupid petitions. A significant number of college students will sign absolutely horrible things as long as they’re phrased in loosely progressive terms.

This from Campus Reform is another reminder of that.

Students at George Washington University (GWU) willingly signed a petition supporting the deportation of one American citizen in exchange for one illegal immigrant.

“Please sign our petition for President Obama to deport one American citizen, in exchange for one undocumented immigrant,” read the petition. “Everyone must be allowed a shot at the ‘American Dream.’ Americans should not be greedy. Let us right the wrongs of our past and make another’s dreams come true.”

“It makes sense,” one student told Campus Reform. “Like, I’ve noticed that there is a lot of like hatred against undocumented immigrants and it’s not necessarily their fault.”

What’s the secret here? The same one used by Obama.

Younger liberals in particular are unable to process negative consequences from a progressive policy. You can tell them that this Green Energy plan will kill all children under 6 and they’ll talk about how they’re for it because the environment smells too much.

This is how Obama operates.

    Penn and Teller’s show, “Bullsh*t!”, featured a similar, silly petition drive with the goal of banning that nasty chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. It was funny watching all the faux intellectual, ‘environmentally aware’ morons pen their signature to a document that essentially called for elimination of water from the world.

    • ricardomontalban

      …or the one where the Man Show sent a group out to get signatures on a petition to “end womens’ suffrage”. Those who made comments while signing were priceless. Ignorant self-righteousness to the highest degree.

      “Hey, I signed something today that made me feel like a good person, so I can be a d-bag-nozzle for the rest of the week”.

      Mouthbreathers, it doesn’t work that way.

      The show is named appropriately. Its content proves it.

    • Bamaguje

      Damn America’s failing public schools.
      Poll responders may not know dihydrogen monoxide is water.

    • Tim N

      Haha I actually signed one of those once.
      I knew full well what it was, I just got such a hoot out of it that I just had to add my signature.

  • PI by Nature

    Did you bother to check the names on the petition to ensure that there aren’t gag names on it? I would intentionally put a gag name on the petition to ruin it.

    Time to end subsidies for higher education … let’s give everyone a college degree at birth. They only know less after four years at a college.

    • Anonymous

      Fortunately, the College of Engineering and Technology I graduated from had people with more sense.

  • JR Kipling

    That Obama wants 100% of the college age to attend college reveals what it is all about. Leftist indoctrination. The real figure based on ability and genuine intellectual power is about 4% of the population. The rest of those attending are there to play sports, meet girls, waste time, or pursue anti intellectual degrees like Sociology Speech and Communication Studies, Black Studies, Queer Studies, Women Studies… Get rid of the free ride and the garbage and you return to the figure it has always been…about 4% of the population

  • EileenRight

    This is how Obama was elected twice.

      How else could he have won? A Third World nation will vote for Third World leaders.

      So Gruber was right?

      • jfmoris110

        He was right about the democrats.

  • nomoretraitors

    This idea may have some merit. We can start exchanging all the libtards in this country for illegals

      Hopefully from China and SE Asia, the races that have proven to have higher base line IQ’s than blacks, whites, Mexicans, etc.
      That would definitely be win, win !!

    College education isn’t the main problem. These petition signers had their capacity for critical thinking excised in K thru 6.
    Current scientific knowledge seems to be that the human brain isn’t fully developed until about 21 years of age. Now, if we could somehow turn that into legislation, we could move the eligibility for voting back to where it used to be–21. Actually, since the minimum age for running for congress is 25, logically, that should be the minimum age for voting for congressmen. But, hey–Forget it. Everyone knows that facts and logic are bigoted and racist.

      True. This nonsense has trickled down to Pre-School.

    • Anonymous

      If logic, facts, critical thinking, maturity, and intelligence are bigoted and racist, I would consider that words of praise.

    • Bamaguje

      Methink the problem is the pervasive culture of political correctness.
      This cowers ordinary folks who are then unwilling to question any seemingly sound mainstream idea.

  • MichaelVWilson

    These students should file suit against the universities for a refund of all their fees and tuition because obviously they haven’t learned anything like, you know, reading and THINKING. Sheesh!

    • Anonymous

      They didn’t learn it in grade school or high school either.

  • glpage

    Well, if we could make sure that one person to be deported was a progressive this might not be a bad idea.

  • Anonymous

    We shouldn’t blame higher education. These kids learned all this nonsense as far back as Kindergarten.

    • Bamaguje

      Lamestream media also shares a huge part of the blame.

    • firedup49

      More like brainwashed since kindergarten

    And to think these are tomorrow’s adults and future leaders.

    • lyndaaquarius

      that 2/3 s of them never thought to ask “who will decide who gets deported?” is terrifying. The president and faculty at GWU need to see this.Parents of these students need to make a huge ruckus. People struggle to pay a lot of $$$$ to have their children abused like this.

    • Raymond_in_DC

      GW University is barely a mile from the White House, maybe two miles from the Capitol. And many of those students *expect* to be our future leaders. Heaven help us.

  • Jeff Ludwig

    It’s all very frighening. I really fear for our children and grandchildren. How can one not have a doomsday scenario in mind when one reads articles like this?

  • Hard Little Machine

    Obama is more likely considering internal exile of Americans to the Montana Gulag

  • tagalog

    Start with the people who reply affirmatively to the poll. The gene pool needs that.

  • Dave Francis

    Seriously, I think a majority of students a smoking dope?

    • jfhdsiu

      Do you mean “are” smoking dope? One can never be sure until one asks. Although the “are” IS implied, when one speaks of doing drugs one must consider such things as they may be a relevant indication in themselves……… I doubt that they are smoking marijuana… More likely it’s a dangerous drug of some sort. I was never up on that very well……

  • Dan Knight

    LOL …

  • knowshistory

    trade one American for each invader? excellent idea, if the one deported is a liberal, a muslim, a welfare parasite or a congresscritter. I suspect it is we working americans that they wish to deport, however.

  • knowshistory

    do we have a communist in the white house? I dunno. we do have a racist muslim in the white house. does it really matter if he is a communist as well?

    Until we get the radical left-wing out of our institutions of higher learning…and lower learning for that matter…the youth in this country will continue to be indoctrinated with radical nonsense! Is it any wonder we can’t find enough qualified employees in this country when they are wasting their time on ridiculous subject matter. You don’t see this in India, which helps explain why they are taking over the workforce in this country.

  • jfhdsiu

    It’s simple really. MOST college students are either idiots, imbeciles, morons or maniacs. Yes… That about covers the whole thing front to back, inside out, top to bottom, side to side, through and through………..

    I wonder what the reaction would be if the petition read “Please sign our petition for President Obama to deport one American citizen, ‘YOU’, in exchange for one undocumented immigrant”?

    I think that’s an ‘even’ exchange but I’ll settle for just ‘them being deported’ and they don’t have to pay me back in lying, cheating, thieving, child abusing, child molesting, child abandoning, raping, MURDERING, disease ridden illegal alien invaders. One idiot, imbecile, moron or maniac is pretty much like all the others anyway.

  • ohio granny

    Obama would have to keep some whites here as slaves to grow food, run the factories and other kinds of manual labor. Couldn’t have “his” people doing menial type labor now could he?

  • tim

    My boss used to call our clients (a major U.S. corporation) “well educated idiots.” Just because you attended Harvard or wherever does not intelligent make you. It does strike me as fairly remarkable that conservatism hangs on if not flourishes despite the leftist indoctrination U.S. students face from kindergarten through post doc.

  • jenk

    I’m going to cut these kids some slack. If someone came at you with a camera, microphone, and petition saying something about “making dreams come true” you’re ability to process what is happening would be significantly diminished. Their reaction was just to go with the flow to avoid looking stupid. It’s similar to being at a party and fake laughing when someone says something to you that you didn’t quite hear.
