OK, now I'm mad. To quote Larry the Cable Guy, I'm madder than a skinhead watching The Jeffersons.
A couple of days ago in Tucson, Arizona, police were called to a local high school because a student was caught with marijuana in his back pack. (story here) The school notified police, who in turn called his parents. The parents showed up and the police determined that they and the pot-head and two other kids were all in America illegally. So they called Border patrol, who scooped them all up and dropped them off in Mexico where they belong. (They actually held the father for formal deportation because he'd been busted several times before illegally entering our country. Talk about a complete lack of respect for our laws.)
OK, this made me happy.
But then today comes this story, where now, Tuscon Police department and the schools are apologizing and promising not to summon Border patrol to schools any more. Why? because a bunch of kids--all with hispanic surnames, according to the newspaper story--led a protest march where they chanted in spanish and demanded "Migra" (spanish for "Immigration officers") out of "their" schools.
First of all, those aren't their schools. They belong to the taxpaying American citizens. That means the grown-ups who have jobs. Not the kids who are there to be educated, and definitely not the kids who are here illegally. And we know that many of them are, because the kids themselves complain that they don't feel "safe" going to school with the possibility of Border Patrol or ICE showing up. Obviously, the only ones with any reason to feel unsafe are those who are here illegally and I don't want them feeling safe. I don't want them here at all! Go home, and you'll be perfectly safe back in your own countries!
But that aside, I have nothing but contempt for the American public officials who caved in, and caved not to US taxpayers but to a bunch of illegal alien kids. Here. In OUR country.
Or isn't it ours any more?
