Simpson argues, "People across the land feel frustrated about the immigration situation. Unless we reform legislation, the American dream will turn into the American nightmare."

Also, recall that in terms of sheer numbers, Black students are under-represented at Harvard. While we are approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population, we are only eight percent of the students at Harvard. Is it any wonder then, that...
