You won't know whether to bust out in hysterics or throw your lawnmower into your windshield . .

=========================================

TRINITY - The class schedule for 17-year-old Josue Oswaldo Ramirez-Mejia looked a lot like those of his classmates at Mitchell High School: American history, language arts, economics and government, personal fitness. Since Aug. 26, he had been just another student in this bustling, overcrowded Pasco County school.

But on Tuesday, Ramirez-Mejia's lost wallet betrayed his secret.

He was 27, not 17.

The woman who registered him was his sister and not, as school officials were told, his mother. His school transcript was a forgery.

So was his birth certificate. He was a Guatemala-born illegal immigrant who authorities say broke the law to get into Mitchell.

"Three times a week, Josue and his brother attended La Luz del Mundo, a Spanish-speaking church in Holiday, their pastor said when he stopped by the house Wednesday afternoon."

La Luz del Mundo is a cult!

La Luz del Mundo

Paul Cardin, Executive Director of the Centers for Apologetics Research in San Juan Capistrano, CA, chaired a session that opened with a presentation by Jorge Erdele, Ph.D., Director of the Research Center of the Mexican Christian Institute and Editor of the Latin American Journal for the Academic Study of Religions) on La Luz Del Mundo, a “transnational” group based in Mexico, with many members in the United States. Dr. Erdele indicated the ways in which La Luz, which has significant political influence and therefore protection in Mexico, exemplifies cultic processes, and detailed how sexual abuse is theologically justified and institutionalized among the leadership cadre. Ph.D. candidate Marcos Marin, formerly Professor of Anthropology of Religion and Ethnicity at the Unversidad La Habana, in Cuba, discussed his research, including cultic aspects of the Palo Monte religion, which has migrated to Florida.

I once asked one of our asst. principals how illegal aliens could be entered in our school since I had to produce so much documentation every time we moved and had to get our kids in a new school.
He just smiled and said something like, "We can't turn them away."
I think legal American citizens should just start refusing to provide any documentation.

BTW I also had a student who told me she had already graduated from HS in Mehico and she was going to school in the US while living with a relative, to improve her English because she wanted to go to college in Mehico and get a business degree. She spoke fair English, but she was in several programs at taxpayers expense to help her keep up with her school work. I don't know for certain if she was here legally or not, but I suspect not.

Many schools in California are now occupied by a majority of non-English speakers. Anyone who says this is not an invasion is crazy.

From your paragraph on La Luz del Mundo.

I think that the rationale for a 27 year old hanging around a bunch of 16 year olds might just, just might, have some roots in this statement.

" I think that the rationale for a 27 year old hanging around a bunch of 16 year olds might just, just might, have some roots in this statement."

Made me wonder too when I saw he was involved with them.

Reminds me of the old redneck joke..."My dad walked me to school every day...we were both in the fourth grade".

"There are just all kinds of things that could have been available."

Such as deportation?

Lay this little criminal scenario on the oligarchy's new chief supreme, and you'll get 'no comment'.

America has been tied, screwed, and sold out in the the name of the seven cardinal sins. But who gives a good damn.

Our once God fearing politicians who now only acknowledge Him as part and parcel of their cover-up diversions, are rapidly tearing down any and all reference to He who gave Americans their precious liberties.

Little wonder America is going to hell in a hand-basket.

Little wonder Congress is the enemy within.

We need to make it easier for the average citizen to run for office and stop electing these politically connected empty suits. A government is supposed to represent its people but right now we have nothing that even comes close to that description.

I couldn't agree more.

Our ForeFathers never intended for these CongressCritters to all be (a) lawyers and (b) in lifetime positions.

Hah, I live in Pasco county. Just last week I typed some comments about the nudist colony located in this county (which, BTW, hardly anyone here knows about....it's low key and is never in the news). Pasco county news is colorful and makes the national news a lot. It's really kinda fun to live here, LOL.

At the far end of the county from me is Trinity, an entity that is called a "CDP", census designated place. CDP's are communities that lack separate municipal government, but otherwise resemble incorporated places such as villages and cities. Trinity is not legally incorporated in Florida. Population is approx 4000 with approx 1500 families. Ninety-six per cent white, under one per cent black, a sprinkling of Asians and 2.83 % Hispanic or Latino. Hardly any percentage at all of people living below the poverty line.

The founder of the quite lovely community is Dr. James Gills, who established a world-renowned eye clinic near where I live. He did my cataract surgery.

Dr. Gills is a self-described born-again, a former marathon runner, a philanthropist and an author of inspirational books.

He is also a major landowner in west central Florida.

The founding of Trinity was a vision of Dr. Gills. It's a community where most of the streets have biblical names. The residents are not necessarily "biblical" or "non-biblical" as far as I know. I don't live that close.

I think I'll become an FR field correspondent reporting live from Pasco county where anything weird can happen and usually does.

Great beaches, here, though.

Leni, I lived in Trinity, in the Foxwood subdivision, until about 2 months ago. the CDP you mentioned is a pain-in-the-butt! The Post Office has the zip code 34655 as Trinity, but my legal mailing address was New Port Richey. Anytime I called any customer service number and gave them my address or zip they immedaitly thought I was a fraud. MY bank, BofA, said they could not put my city as New Port Richey on my checks. Etc,etc,etc.

Yes, I agree the beaches are the BEST in the world. A little known beach "Howard Park" can't be beat as a family beach. However, being a Texan, I had a real problem dealing with all the New Yorkers. So, here I amback in Texas.

Which is why New Port Richey is commonly known as New York Richey, LOL.
