Well-put. The government is not deporting Mexican children anytime soon; those kids are here to stay, and that's the reality we have to deal with. Attempts to integrate them into American society are a good thing.
I worked at a Texas Youth Maximum Security lock-up for a couple of horrible years. We pay $99,000 per kid, per year to keep these scum away from the rest of us. If they others can keep clean and go to college, it’s a bargain. If the Feds did their job, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
The ones who benefit by the exception to the non-resident tuition are already integrated enough to graduate and be accepted to college.
A couple of friends and I have been talking about this for years: what sort of affect does dumping them out of our schools, where they thought they were at least equal to and the same as Americans, and, the day after graduation, we tell them they are criminals?
We didn’t create this mess and the best thing for everyone is to stop the adults long before their kids become integrated at all.
But we would have to live with the consequences of a bitter, angry population that is driven underground or toward crime. The choice to do good or bad with their circumstances would be theirs, their being here as adults is a crime, and crime is a crime.
However, I’ve seen the effects on people living as illegals. They are prime victims of “alcades” and “abogados” offering false hopes of amnesty. Unscrupulous employers and landlords take advantage of them. They are the unemployed, uneducated and uninsured that the left loves to hit us with.
18 year olds are not children - they are adult foreign nationals who need to repatriate and follow the rules. Get it? IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
