Mama! And just when I wanted to sleep peacefully tonight! ;)
I always feel for the children (from very young to college aged) of illegal aliens; it is never their fault. Right? It really puts us in a difficult position when it comes to the aliens with school-aged children.
But we have so many folks here who are legal citizens who were either born here or who legally immigrated here, and some of them -- too many -- are in dire straights with school-aged children also -- trying to make ends meet while their very taxes help the illegals rather than their own families. Their own children cannot easily go to college! There really has to be a better way.
Border watch group claims to sneak fake WMD into US

TUCSON - A border watch group claims it successfully sneaked into the United States carrying a fake weapon of mass destruction.
American Border Patrol spokesman Glenn Spencer told the Arizona Daily Star the test was intended to show how easy it would be for terrorists to sneak deadly weapons across the border.
Mike King, a former Army sniper who was assigned to Fort Huachuca as a National Guardsman after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said he's hoping the demonstration will help convince government leaders that the country's southern border is a national security risk.
"I mean, you have people with backpacks, bottles of water and zero training coming across. I just wanted to show how easy this is for somebody with training to come into this country," said King, who now works as a technical director for the border-watch group.
Two members of the group carried a suitcase in a backpack into Arizona west of Naco Monday night.
One American Border Patrol member said the two men crossed a border fence that separates the United States from Mexico, then headed to a house in Sierra Vista without detection.
The Border Patrol had no immediate comment on the claim by the Sierra Vista-based group.
The Mexican government is checking a videotape and may enter a formal complaint with the United States government.
"If the incident can be confirmed," said Miguel Escobar, Mexico's consul in Douglas, "a formal letter of protest will be submitted to the U.S. government."
