Editorial: America’s Dream Team missing key players
Last Saturday, Pulitzer-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman wrote a commentary that we got excited about. It was titled, “America’s Real Dream Team,” and it detailed a swanky, black-tie event that Friedman attended in Washington, D.C. The event was the 2010 Intel Science Talent Search, which honors the top math and science high school students in America.

Presently, well over 15 million U.S.-born citizens and legal immigrants, including open border advocates, have lost their jobs.
