Context clues
Oh noes! Illegal immigrants are coming!
UC Davis law and Asian American studies professor Bill Hing said arguments about undocumented students taking opportunities away from native-born students are irrelevant.
"All of those questions are distractions," he said. "There's just no empirical data that the category of students that (fall under the DREAM Act) have any negative impact on society." Irrelevant to what? Distractions from what? The Center for Immigration Studies may argue that the issue is the damage done to the economy by illegal immigrants, but for most people, they just don't much care for folks breaking the law and then whining about how hard it is to be a lawbreaker or asking for subsidies. Those discussions, then, are not distractions or irrelevant. I wonder if the Daily Cal is just completely ignorant of this view. If so, they may want to consider improving newsroom diversity.
