Being busboys and dishwashers
How strange. When I was in high school in the late 70s those very jobs provided me with spending money, and I'm not Mexican. Neither were any of the dozens of other high schoolers who worked the same jobs alongside me. As best I can tell, none of us ever thought ourselves "demeaned", "exploited", or thought that clearing away and washing dishes was a job that was beneath us.
So what changed?
What changed is that lawnmowers can only be run by illegals; were it not for mowing lawns in the neighborhood, I would never have been able to afford my college textbooks. Can't bus tables, because one has to speak fluent Spanish to speak to the rest of the kitchen staff. Make beds in a motel? Oh, no, there's an illegal there doing the job.
These aren't jobs that Americans won't do, these are jobs that have been stolen from our children.

The parents okayed the walkout?!
What do they have to say about it!
The little thugs have been making you work hard today! My sympathy.
What about Montebello City Council...?
I feel Villaraigosa's behavior last Saturday had a lot to do with this. A lot. It was irresponsible for him to get up and advocate for all the imaginary grievances of these people.
The Governor would have to approve an extension of the school year. AND that won't happen because it would have to be statewide.
I have to shut down for a bit; thunder and lightening!! (RARE in OR!)
Ask for the board, or the principal of the school to meet with the public about this matter. Not a regularly scheduled meeting but a meeting just on this topic. Invite your police chief or sheriff to come and talk about the number of arrests, what the arrests were for, and how much it cost them to supervise these kids.
They cannot refuse to meet with the public, especially if parents are in the group. The police and sheriff CAD reports are public record, some arrest reports may be redacted, but CITIZENS of the United States have a right to this information.
You may be shocked at the true behavior of some of the students, if you get the sheriff or police to come and talk to your group.
The minute you put the administration on the hot seat, the heads of the enablers will roll. Do it. It works.
The police had better start arresting the enablers/revolutionaries. They have to know that when tshtf, they're the number one target of the anarchists.
Yes they must. And patriotic Americans better start caring about the "education" their tax dollars are providing to these budding insurgents.
Even better if they were hard working and following the laws IN their home country.
Just what Mexico needs....an influx of hard working law abiding Mexican citizens.
So what changed?..... Society changed
How many kids do you know now a days that have dishwashing jobs after school? or mow lawns and cut trees for extra money? I know the kids that bag groceries at my local supermarkets are so slow I end up bagging my items myself.
I remember a school in the Bay area that had a fire during Christmas break years ago. The school delayed opening for three days and it was tacked on to the end of the year. The school district made those decisions for that one school.

Thank you for the link. This is disgusting. I noticed yesterday they were chanting "Mexico! Mexico! Mexico!". Why, if they want to be citizens, weren't they chanting, "USA! USA! USA!"?
Marisa Venegas and four other students at Valencia High school were arrested after they staged a pro-immigrant demonstration through the streets of Placentia this morning. Some of the students were arrested for trespassing and others for rowdy behavior, according to Liliana Venegas, an aunt of a student.
Just before noon, about 40 protesters walked onto the San Diego (405) Freeway at Victory Boulevard, forcing the California Highway Patrol to shut down northbound lanes of the freeway. CHP officers escorted the students back to a school campus, and no arrests were made, LAPD Sgt. Dave Cueto said.
About 5,300 students walked out from middle schools and high schools citywide, despite lockdowns enforced by the district, LAUSD spokeswoman Susan Cox said. The crowd was much smaller than Monday's massive 26,000-student walkout.
I immediately saw my mistake and corrected it in post #44. I'm so wound up on this topic that my eyes weren't seeing correctly....
