Teen Columnist: The key word in 'illegal immigrants' is 'illegal'

The Workmans, Bennetts and Cioffis traveled months at sea to gain freedom properly.

For 400 years, my family's blood has been shed on the battlefields of the Revolution, the Civil War, WWI, WWII and Vietnam. My uncles and grandfathers before me fought savagely against foes, and together they and their brothers in arms fulfilled their duty to God and country.

This should be reiterated:

James Ziglar was in Tim's hometown announcing that official U.S. policy would be to ignore the word "illegal" in "illegal immigration."
"No one likes the idea that people came into the country illegally, "Ziglar said during a joint press conference with Mexican officials at the Tucson Border Patrol station, "but it's not practical or reasonable to think that you're going to be able to round them all up and send them home."

Nice catch.

Why is it a ninth grader can figure it out, but not the President?

[TomGuy]

Evidence is still mounting that B Clinton significantly sold us out to China.
Evidence is mounting that GW Bush is significantly selling us out to Mexico.

The Presidential Oath of Office

The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You can fool all those bed-wetting politicians in Washington with the "need for tolerance" but you can't fool kids. They haven't been politicized yet.

I remember in High School, as part of the liberal hypertolerance movement, we were forced to take a class called "Afro-Asian Cultures". We were fed some gruel about "African Kings" and "peaceful, progressive Islam".

The teacher was utterly convinced but us kids knew better, as far as we were concerned, they were all goat molestors.

[Matt Young]

Are we allowed to criticze our liberal president on this forum?

[Harrison Bergeron]

I'm sure that the usual suspects are feverishly trying to come up with a way to call the kid a "Bush Hater" ® without disagreeing with his thesis. They'll be with us in a moment.

I'm still getting over the shock of reading Ziglar's quote.

Dang... Well if we get their entire generation thinking like Americans, we might just save our country yet.

[Miss Marple]

It ISN'T practical to round up and deport all the illegal aliens. We don't have enough manpower or money to do it. I am not in shock...that seems to me to be an obvious statement of fact.

Glad to see ninth graders getting involved in governmental issues. I am sure you were happy to find an article that validated your position.

So you agree with the quote? Huh?

""No one likes the idea that people came into the country illegally, "Ziglar said during a joint press conference with Mexican officials at the Tucson Border Patrol station, "but it's not practical or reasonable to think that you're going to be able to round them all up and send them home.""

I have had a daydream that goes like this... The Feds make an announcement saying, "On this (date) in three months ahead, all men and women between the ages of 18 & 45, will be required to register with a local draft board. This will be required of citizens and non-citizens alike.

For three months there would be loud discussion and signs of preparation for the coming event. Of course it would never be implimented.

For 3 months it would be interesting to see what the numbers of illegals would bail out of this country if they thought they might get drafted. It might make a good dent in a start to a roundup.

This is just a musing so, don't start any pro/con arguments. I just laugh at the mental image of thousands of illegals heading south at the thought of getting drafted. ;0)

[lavaroise]

I pushed it for now in my unconscious, expecting them to tell us that we should be rounded up for sake of Mexicans.

You're too funny. The statistical reality of illegal immigration into this country is enough validation. lol.

Great Read.

I am 13 and write a column for WND. Many ridicule the notion to allow
the involvement of young people in politics.

I don't know about you, but I believe it must be done in order save this
country. Young people must wake up, smell the coffee, and see reality
before public education brain washes them into liberals.
