IQ is a significant part of the problem. I'm willing to accept that some kids got fucked over by a shitty environment or were limited by the system, but the sad truth is that most of these kids who are "behind" simply don't have the intelligence to advance beyond a certain point, and that point is often far below the capabilities of what a high school diploma proports to certify. These kids shouldn't be in college at all. They should be in a vocational program that will teach them skills that don't require book smarts but will make them employable and allow them to earn a decent wage. Allowing an infinite supply of cheap labor to flood across the Rio Grande prevents these people from making a living, and corporate America's addiction to cheap labor plays no small part in ensuring that they favor open borders.
