Good morning. I'm listening to Fox and Friends. They're all upset about the California high school student who is being deported. His parents came to this country illegally several years ago, plugged into the system and the son is graduating as valedictorian. He's received several scholarship offers to major universities. But his family has been discovered and now are having to leave. How sad!

Cry me a river! They stole from US their son's education. They are ILLEGAL! Time and geography do not change that. The kid could come back legally on a student visa. Furthermore, why shouldn't such a smart kid plug into the Mexican system and work to improve THAT country?

Correction: he’s Armenian, not Mexican. It doesn’t matter, my points are the same. I am speaking as someone of Armenian descent. He should be here LEGALLY!

People, there's a lot of this going on, imho. Deportation, I mean. Ever so subtly, for the most part. OR, the loss of jobs due to the economy is sending them home. Probably both.

I truly have a heart for many of these folks, and so many have just taken advantage of the "system" our government has set up for them. But what I WANT is exactly what you said - I would like them to go home with the skills they have acquired here and make Mexico a better country. Their citizens really need to get into the technology age.

No Jemian, his parents came here legally and have since exhausted their legal attempts to acquire asylum status since they cannot show enough proof that their lives will be in danger id returned to their own country.

It's a little different then having parents walk across the border when you are 2 and growing up here to be finally deported because you never had legal status in the first place. Just my humble opinion. He also has been a stellar scholar and a good person.

Good morning everyone!
