How about deportation? Fuck whether you were born here or not, if you manage to complete the 6th grade, and remain that ignorant, you have to leave.

I'll bet that most illegals here know more about the USA than some of its "citizens"...

Still, this is a matter of ignorance, not a matter of stupidity (believe it or not), and education is the only real solution...it's just a shame that we're giving tax breaks to millionaires, and corporations, and cutting education.

No child left behind? Looks like they left 1 in 4 behind...that's just unacceptable.

Or we need to find out where the 1000 people that were polled came from. Poll 1000 college kids and I'm quite sure the ratio will change.

Why? I'm not sure at all. Ever see any of Jay Leno's "Jay Walking" segments on campus?

Some couldn't name the VP. The CURRENT one.

Dude it's a TV show...I'm sure he hand selected 20 out of the 200 or so he interviewed to make his point.
