...halls want tighter restrictions on immigration. Congressional Republicans are worried that in a mid-term election, where voter turnout is usually much lower than for a presidential year, keeping core Republican supporters motivated is key. And according to recent poll results from the Pew Research Center, 19% of Republicans cite immigration as the country's biggest problem, while only 9% of independents and 6% of Democrats rank it so highly. Supporting Bush's proposal for guest workers and citizenship for illegal immigrants, if you're a House Republican, may be a way to lose votes among Republicans (who could...
...photographed and fingerprinted upon entering that country. The Bush Administration has taken much heat for supposedly violating civil liberties or committing acts of racial-profiling in the name of homeland security.

...While many who advocate disciplinary action against Viswanathan cite “behavior unbecoming of a Harvard student” as grounds for her dismissal, such a claim reeks of elitism. Though Harvard touts itself as an “ivory tower,” the undefined notion of behavior befitting of a Harvard student imposes a higher expectation of conduct (simply because of the Harvard name) without making clear what actions can knock us off that high ground. While we hope that Ad Board limits its scope solely to those actions that pertain to our lives as Harvard students...
