DREAM Act, immigration not mentioned in teen's suicide notes
San Antonio Express-News ^ | December 2, 2011 | Lynn Brezosky

MISSION — The recent suicide of an illegal immigrant fanned the flames of a controversial measure to legalize certain students who were sneaked into the country as children, prompting, among other things, a Friday morning ceremony in Los Angeles and a proclamation on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

But in the 11 pages of suicide notes that Hidalgo County investigators released to the family of Joaquin Luna on Friday, there is not a single mention of immigration or of the failed Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, as was mistakenly reported by various news outlets.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño said he could not release the notes, which an investigator found in a Bible, until the investigation confirmed that the case was indeed a suicide.

This kid had some very deep inner problems aside from the dream act. The family does not appear to want to take any responsibility and wants to shift the blame over to the dream act. As he states here, teenagers face bad things and temptations and that he didn't want to succumb. He was a mixed up & confused teen.

The MSM do not make “mistakes”. They wear their agenda proudly for all to see and without pretense or being “fair” or “balanced”. They are the willing propagandists of the Left. Whereas Goebbels had to initially coerce the German media, the American media falls all over themselves to suggest ways to help the Left. The MSM “Fourth Estate” is the current repository of evil in the land.
