NBC 4 ^ | 3/28/06

why should the students bother with school? They will just go on the welfare rolls and not HAVE to study or work.

.... what's it's worth now.

About 600,000 pesos.

We already have temporary work visa's. And NAFTA visa's. The issue is that some people do not bother to apply for them, or the quota is filled.

oh, the Section 8s

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upsidedown at Montebello High.

Area high school students raise the Mexican flag at the Montebello High School flag pole as they marched to the school to urge those students to also walk and protest against proposition HR 4437 on March 27, 2006, at the Montebello school. Students walked from El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera to Pioneer High School in Whittier, then on to Whittier High School, to Montebello High School and then to downtown Los Angeles.

It's POURING RAIN all day. Somebody up there likes us.

I don't know what's happening in the streets, haven't followed it today. Going out now. If I come across it, I'll deal with it.

Wrong Ass-clown - you are a PHONY immigrant -shoving others aside so you can butt in line -

Officers of the Los Angeles Police Department ticket a group of students for truancy in Harbor City, California March 28, 2006, after the students did not return to school following earlier demonstrations in Carson, California. The students were voicing their opposition to congressional bill HR 4437, a bill designed to strengthen the enforcement of immigration law.

All right! The first picture in that series just sent my blood pressure through the roof!!!!!!

[La Enchiladita]

What happened? Is the principal a Mexican supremacist too?

Students from Pico Rivera's El Rancho High School, Pioneer High School and Whittier High School and a few from Los Nietos Middle School in Whittier, urge Montebello High School students to leave the school and protest against proposition HR 4437 on March 27, 2006, at the Montebello school. Students walked from El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera to Pioneer High School in Whittier, then on to Whittier High School, to Montebello High School and then to downtown Los Angeles.

Students from Marshall High School, Blair High, and Pasadena High School and Muir High School walked to the Pasadena Unified School District Headquarters in protest to denounce a federal legislative proposal that would criminalize illegal immigration and require building a 700-mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Culver City providing mutual aid at one of their schools. Students being told to get on busses back to campus or they are getting booked. School district has already lost millions in lost education funds and overtime for officers

We have the inmates running the asylum, from both the students and the illegal aliens. Wouldn't be surprised to see the NEA behind all of this high school activism - who in high school could care less whether a head of lettuce costs $1.00 or $3.00? This immigration reform debate is all about economics, pure and simple. Large business behind the need for SLAVE WAGE CLASS since they have now successfully broken most of the unions and sent so many American jobs offshore. Race has not one thing to do with this issue. NOT ONE.

Has the school board identified the teachers who are urging the kids along in these walkouts yet? Some curricula propose that walking out is the appropriate political response for almost every situation, and teach kids how to do it.

SCG and I have been on the phone all day with the Montebello, Pico Pivera, and Whittier school districts. The Pico Rivera District Super is "not available" and his secretary with a heavy Spanish accent did not care a whit. Both Whittier and Montebello expressed their outrage and said that the problem is this: Many of the kids parents okayed them walking out. Both Montebello and Whittier are planning to issue truancy marks anyway.

Thanks Karl. And I'm guessing the likelihood of them paying those tickets is slim to none. Tickets. Unbelievable.

[Bella_Bru]

I am certain the illegal alien apologists on FR must be proud of these students.
