I don't know but leadership is a top down thing and our leaders seem to be put under a lot of pressure.

It's a mock petition. So some people probably weren't taking it seriously. I don't know, I'm not part of that generation and I have more patriotism in a single scrote hair than the combined sum of that entire campus.

Half-jokingly, I'd say I know a few rotten citizens I'd trade for a couple of non-citizens I know.

Half of them don't even know what they're signing. Hell I've seen women sign an anti suffrage petition. I think that was from Jimmy Kimmel. Danger comes from the ignorant masses.

ok, sure but it's a one-way trip. If you're willing to give up your citizenship. You permanently lose upon deportation

My thought is that most people don't place a whole lot of value on something they perceive as having been given for free and college students tend to have a lot more empathy for people who come here in hope of a better life (even if they came illegally) than your average American because they themselves are (for the most part) also making sacrifices in the hope that those sacrifices will result in a better life for themselves.

I believe the solution is to better educate them on the sacrifices that were made so that they could be US citizens today. As for people coming here in search of better life, I think we owe them a better immigration system than the one we have today. A system without quotas or decades long legal immigration delays. We also need to crack down on the 10's of thousands of businesses who create the demand for illegal labor.
