I’m sorry, it’s late, but I don’t understand why you posted that to me. I think the guy is a mercenary (and a hypocrite) since he thinks its fine for illegals to come over here, but he’s willing to out them to the school district for money.

The Vietnam War veteran and labor activist is an outspoken advocate of amnesty for illegal immigrants and fills water jugs in the desert for Mexicans who trek across the border illegally.

Comment:

I have several friends (Hispanic) who work at the Border Patrol and a couple of them think that some type of conditional amnesty for illegals is something they have mixed feelings about.

Yet they go to work everyday and make arrests of illegals coming across the border.

Just this last week they were involved in a major drug bust and found a van full of Chinese (17) illegals.

I do not or would not call them mercenaries for doing what they are sworn under the law to uphold and that is protecting the border.

I also do not think they are hypocrites for working for the Border Patrol.

This man mentioned in the article who I happen to have seen down at the border crossing is doing a job for the school.

These children crossing the border to attend school live in Mexicali and their Mexican citizen parents pay no taxes in this school district or county.

It matters not if they are anchor babies or illegals, the fact is that their United States school education is not paid for in any form or manner.

When I enrolled my children in this school district I had to show two forms of identification that I actually lived here, condo lease and utility bill.

The problem I have with what you wrote is with the attitude and tone of your comment stated in the prior post classifying him as mercenary.

For me that speaks volumes as to why getting a consensus tough strong handle on illegal immigration is an almost impossible job.

Clearing up the illegal mess is not going to be an easy job and would be best left to those who do not have a queasy stomach about upholding the laws currently on the books.

I would have thought that you folks over there in Florida would have some of the same kinds of problems with illegal immigrants, drugs, prostitution and thievery.
