looks like another puff piece attempting to educate as to the great contribution of illegals... looking through Westwood's archive I see that they have written just as many articles on the negative aspects of illegal immigrant invasion as they have positive puff pieces - NOT!

It was an American crowd, cheering for what looked like a quintessentially American spectacle. Would the crowd have cheered as loudly if they knew the full story of the teenager holding the American flag? Pablo didn't think so

All you have to do is read one line like that and you know where the article is going.

More liberal drivel.

Illegal. He should have no problem getting into a Mexican University.

Yeah it would be a real shame if he took the place of Chinese student in an American college.

It's all nice and grand to hear about how wonderful Pablo is. The fact remains: he is illegal.

I have no sympathy for lawbreakers, particularly when American children are denied due to the "lack of funds" that are being spent on those who shouldn't even be here.

His status notwithstanding, this man appears to be everything that anyone would want in U.S. citizen.

I wonder if Mexico would swap him for Sean Penn. (think of the tax revenue)

Why doesn't he go back to his home country and help elevate it so that so many illegals don't feel they need to come here?

The Mexican gov't uses the US as a dumping ground for their poor, so they don't have to take care of them.

The difference: The Chinese student is either born here or fully paid.

Some people just can't focus on the fact that millions of Pablos are soaking our tax system at the rate of $8000 plus per year for a free education. Pablo belongs in Mexico, not the United States. Perhaps his parents were Mexican citizens and Pablo was born here. I don't really care.

I'm not going to read some bull sh-- article that is intended to make me want to legalize between ten and twenty million invaders from Mexico, that are sucking the lifeblood out of my state and nation.

If Mexican citizens want to come here, they should go through the legal steps to do it LEGALLY. And they should not be given preferential treatment over the citizens of any other foreign nation. If they are here illegaly, they, their offspring, their moms and pops, their grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins nieces and nephews should go the hell home.

Anyone care to figure the cost of educating seven million children per year. It's $56 billion dollars. Now, do you want to talk about healthcare for these citizens of the nation to our south?

They also return home with expertise on things like nuclear physics, microbiology, and orbital mathematics.

He's ILLEGAL. If the author wants someone to blame, look to the parents. They chose to enter the country illegally and drag along their kids.

Illegal is against the law...as every other crime that the law applies to. Do you think our laws should have exceptions? Who do you think should be excepted? He has choices and the best one for us is for him to go to school in Mexico or somewhere else. Get out of our country...
