I don't like the idea of a nearly 30 year old man playing teenager with real teens.
This guy must be young-looking to pass for a 17 year old...
So they're trying to gin up sympathy for an illegal alien car thief?
Now that we know he is in the country illegally, has forged documents and misrepresented himself, I assume that he will be IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED!
Yeh...sure.
Athorities report that his reading glasses and subscription to "Modern Maturity" tipped investigators off. The suspect was also reported to ramble to students about how "back in my day, I had to walk 20 miles to school in seven feet of snow."
I didn't even have to look to know this cxme from the St Petersberg Times.
Of course they came down on the side of the "poor immigrant".
Their major headline yesterday was, "Many more asking, What can I cut out?" (Of your budget, being the economy is so bad)- another example of their editorializing on the front page.
I've seen them use this tactic several times, if Bush can be given a backwards smack from it.
and jhust how exactly was he enrolled in school with no paperwork? I just enrolled my daughters in a new school and had to produce birth certificates, residence proof, prior school records... you name it.
should I have saved myself a lot of time and legwork and just told them "No habla english"
he is still here, cause our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS STUCK ON STUPID!!!!!!
Because the current leadership(?) in our government lacks the courage to enforce our laws, secure our borders, and put Americans first.
There must be three or four women teachers at the school thinking "Damn, I could have boinked him legally."
His sister should've signed him up for little league baseball. He could've been the next Danny Almonte.

=========================================
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.
Maybe he was a Jump Street detective.
"There are just all kinds of things that could have been available."
Such as deportation?
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.
