What's wrong with a 'fake' diploma anyway? A 'fake' diploma is STILL a diploma....and the person who bought it MAY be a nicer person, and a lot more fun to be around, that the selfish, hard-working jerk who earned a 'legitimate' diploma.
There are no 'fake humans'....

True. And can we blame someone posing as a surgeon for what he's doing? After all he is just trying to feed his family, improve his life. Getting a legal degree is too hard, too restrictive, everyone doesn't get one. The line is too long, and tuition costs are too high. Is it the illegal graduate's fault that getting a degree legally is too difficult?

Montgomery, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Any names will be sent to the agencies where they work for possible administrative action, he said.

Or you can come to South Florida get an HONORARY degree from any University and that counts as a real degree lol.
A friend used to work for school board here .
She told me about a woman who was/is big brass in school board .

A position that required a PHD she was hired due to her friendship with another brass in school board which is fine if she qualified however -

She didn't have a PHD as needed so she was given an honorary PHD and hired .
Its a good thing she wasnt applying for a city medical position as she may have been given an honorary medical degree lol.
Its funny but sad .

People call this a Banana republic but I prefer to call it the most corrupt place in North America.
