Guys in my high school used to tip off Immigration Services when they were beat out for valedictorian by non-caucasians all the time, it was no big deal.

Being Armenian, this guy is actually caucasian; Armenia is in the Caucasus.
Why don't we take some random high school dropout from Fresno, deport him to Armenia and keep this guy.?
