An 18-year-old is dead after he reportedly took his own life outside Mission Friday night.

Family of Joaquin Luna told Action 4 News the teen left behind suicide letters explaining he took his own life, because he was an illegal immigrant and would never be able to attend college because of it.

Family said Friday night the teen dressed up in a suit and tie, kissed them, then went into the restroom and shot himself in the head.

Here in Texas they are entitled to, essentially, a free ride through college (if Illegal).

Bob, Bob, Bob...there you go spouting off the malicious lies once again. There is no free ride through college in Texas for illegals. Where do you get your information...from the KKK?

Answer this for me if you can. What do you do with the 18 year old Mexican that has lived the past 17 years of their life in the USA, educated in the USA, has no family connection in Mexico, cannot relate to Mexican culture and in most cases cannot even speak the language?

One additional question: Are you a native Texan?

As you shove him southward across the border, tell him it's his parent's fault.

I don’t understand your point. You emphasize that someone has lived here illegally for 17 years and should be what? Granted automatic citizenship? What about ten years? What about four? How about sixty two minutes? At what point does being illegal become legal based on time? By the way, Freepers who don’t approve of illegal immigrants are not members of the KKK. That was a low shot and you know it.

It seems as though you quit being human as well. What you said was evil and PATHETIC!

A tight border with enforced security measures and a stream-lined immigration and naturalization policy will take care of this. Anyone who could feel all smiles when some family's teen has killed themselves is VILE!

You need to own up to massive foot in the mouth or BAD joke because SURELY you can't mean that!?

A: That person doesn’t exist, except in your dreams. If that kid’s parents are illegals, he is more than connected to Mexico. He likely lives in a Hispanic neighborhood, knows LOTS of other Illegals, and, if anything, is not well-integrated into US culture. That’s simply how it works out when you have 10s of millions of illegals.

B: If he did exist, he would be more than fluent in Spanish. He should go to college there, and as a plus, their colleges are probably less anti-American than the ones here in the US. With that education he will do just fine in life. He can (legally) apply for a green card when he graduates.

Americans by the thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) go overseas EVERY YEAR to study. It’s really not a big deal.

Why is protecting our borders so difficult for some people?

Whoops, I read right past that. I’m so used to people conceding the argument (i.e., calling me a Nazi or KKK type) that I don’t even notice it anymore. I try to find something in their posts that’s a bit less childish.

Baloney! The kid just did the only thing he could do to atone for the shame of being a habitual and on going criminal.

Suicide among the young is usually a means of harming others. I’m guessing there were plenty of other issues at play.

By referring to a fellow freeper as a member of the Klan is just plain wrong. Don’t we get that crap enough from the libtards? We’re pro life so we’re anti woman? We’re pro LEGAL immigration so we hate Mexicans etc... Let’s not forget the old “you hate black people, Jews, Asians,and poor people”. To refer to a fellow Freeper as being part of a group that castrated black men, blew up churches with children inside of them, hung blacks, or simply lit a cross to intimidate a Jew/Catholic/Black/Asian/etc... on a Saturday night for fun is below the belt. If I wanted to hear crap like that, I would go on a DU site.

Illegal immigrants now have their own Matthew Shepard.

That this happened in Texas, the most accommodating State concerning college for illegals, is ridiculous.

That's not on honest, hardworking, taxpaying Americans.
That's on his illegal parents.

Not our problem.
He/she has stolen too much from us already.

Every dollar's worth of schooling, housing, medical, food stamps, etc. taken was one less dollar honest citizens had to care for their own kids.

His father and mother stole an ID and took a job from a citizen.

Send him back to his native country.

It could be a deterrent to future illegals if they know their kids will be sent back when they are apprehended.
