About a hundred students demonstrated outside their Tucson high school, then marched five miles downtown to protest against the removal to Mexico of a classmate and his family.
School officials searched the backpack of a 17-year-old Catalina High School freshman who was incoherent last week, and say they found suspected marijuana and called police.
When the boy's parents arrived, police asked to see their drivers' licenses.
The parents acknowledged living in the United States illegally with their two sons, including a sixth-grader.
Police notified the Border Patrol, who took the parents and the sons into custody. The mother and boys were voluntarily returned to Mexico and the father was held for deportation proceedings.

“I think you underestimate the power of friendship and causes at such an age.
If it had happened to one of my friends back when I was in high school, we’d had the entire student body of 1200 strong marching. The Franciscans teachers would have given it their blessing. That was back in the early sixties.”
Maybe I do. I went to school back in the 50’s and 60’s and they would have kicked us out of school for that sort of thing.

A 17 year old incoherent *freshman* was deported? This is a huge loss for our great land.

It’s a fairly large school in the center of Tucson. Inner city School?
Most likely highly Hispanic with goodly dusting of illegal Hispanics.

Does there exist any community of Franciscans that doesn’t have some whack jobs among them?

Meanwhile...daddy stays here....gets a court date for deportation hearings...is released on his own recognizance...goes back to work and sends money back to Mexico...where it helps THEIR economy instead of ours.

So, finally you acknowledge that the money you pay your illegals (you said $30/hr, IIRC) is not beneficial to our economy but theirs. What brought on this shocking moment of honesty?
