I think that would be possible. Why is one way of accomplishing it better than another?

That is an excellent question. I would guess it is due to the fanatical Christian Right and their war against science. However there are lots of possible reasons.
I gather from your posts that you feel it is due to immigrants? If so, might I suggest comparing geographical areas where education has suffered over the last 50 years with the influx into those areas of immigrants. See if there is any correlation.

Hmmm, good point I do have to live in it. I don't feel that the things you mention have happened soley, if at all, because of immigration. I especially don't understand your mentioning overcrowding at universities. First, do you feel there is overcrowding at universities? I haven't heard of this. Second, are you saying that these poorly educated immigrants are going to college? If so, that seems to be a good thing as they can then contribute more to our society.
As for the how 10-20 million more immigrants are going to help me??? Well, at the very least they are going to pay into our SS system and help it last a bit longer
