An interesting point. A good friend of mine had lymphoma, we (our town) raised over a million bucks for his treatment knowing that it was probably a hopeless cause. I guess we just had to give it our all for him. In retrospect, that money would surely have benefited those suffering from malaria, herpes, gonorrhea, or any other treatable illness. We were very illogical...but one of ours needed treatment, and you stick up for your own within the community (that is how we saw it anyways). Your point is valid. That money would have been better spent, since my sweet natured friend died despite our efforts, but we had to do what we could despite the knowledge that it probably would not make a difference.

Sometimes the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many. This is so the many may retain their humanity. They should be allowed to stay until the end of the school year and be sent back to their country of origin. Maybe they can convey this lesson to their fellow countrymen. If we continue to allow our laws to flaunted then there will eventually be no law except that of the jungle.
