Count me among those having a hard time embracing the rewarding of those breaking our laws with the right to vote.
When George W. Bush was 13, his family acquired a nanny:
“She was standing on the doorstep, alone in the rain. She looked tired and scared. A few days earlier, Paula Rendon had said goodbye to her family in Mexico and boarded a bus bound for Houston. She arrived with no money and no friends. All she had was an address, 5525 Briar Drive, and the names of her new employers, George and Barbara Bush.”[Decision Points, By George W. Bush]
Dubya goes on:
“I was thirteen years old when I opened the door that evening in 1959. Before long, Paula became like a second mother to my younger brothers and sister and me. She worked hard, taking care of our family in Texas and her own in Mexico. Eventually she bought a home and moved her family to Houston.”
But you have to realize that it is “for the children.”
The kids are not responsible for being here illegally, so give them citizenship, free education, medical care, etc.
Sort of like the kids of a bank robber. Not their fault he stole the money so we should let them keep the money because after all, they have become accustomed to living in a nice big house with the pool and the nice cars.
Madoff (sp).... His son knew, but probably the grand kids had no idea, so they certainly should keep the money.
Kids of illegals the same. The fact that their present improvement in life style is the result of illegal activity maybe with a little bit of drug running, human trade, etc., shouldn’t force them to be expelled.
We no longer are a country of laws, but of “feelings.”
Of course, that translates into no longer a nation of laws, but of men.
Exactly what our founders feared the most.
