Environmentalists, pro-green energy businesses, anti-green energy interests, climate skeptics, and neoconservatives have already organized backers to articulate points of view.

The FeedAPi module is a nice little workhorse module that can create nodes out of item from an RSS or Atom feed.  Couple it with the Views module, you have a very low effort aggregation solution.  But since FeedAPI creates a node for each item, Views will link to the node on your own site

So really, the better indicator of how well the children of immigrants will do is not their race/ethnicity/skin color, but the education level achieved by their parents.  Is this different than for other groups?  Why is this even a news story?  Oh wait, its NOT.
