Several Ennis High School seniors have been barred from their school prom tonight for protesting Thursday against proposed federal immigration legislation. School officials suspended 120 to 130 students from classes Friday and barred them from school events this weekend, including sporting events and the prom. The students attend Ennis High School, Ennis Junior High and the Sixth Grade Center. "We got suspended, and we're not allowed to go to prom for standing up for something that we believe is right," said senior Araceli Garcia, 18.

This thing is going to eventually involve violence. Whoever started this, the organizations involved, need to be imprisoned just for starters.

Ennis used to have a funky little Cajun restaurant called "Chez Willie's". Alligator and prawns and all kinds of great stuff. I think it's still there, but named something else now. Worth the stop.

[kenth]

Yep, and once again, these leftist groups are using kids to do their bidding.

We got suspended, and we're not allowed to go to prom for standing up for something that we believe is right," said senior Araceli Garcia, 18.
If real Americans get their way, Mr. Gracia will wish the only thing he missed was the prom. Don't let the door ...

[freeangel]

Tough toenails! Ain't consequences a pain in the butt?

[Carolinamom]

Well, boys and girls. School officiais also believe in standing up for what is right......obeying the rules. You were warned, and actions DO have consequences...part of your EDUCATION.

[McGavin999]

Actions have consequences.

"We got suspended, and we're not allowed to go to prom for standing up for something that we believe is right," said senior Araceli Garcia, 18

nah....you got suspended for skipping school

[ncountylee]

Yup...This thing is going to eventually involve violence.

Hope we are wrong but have my range time scheduled for later this morning.

You poor thing!! That is so not fair!!! This country sucks!!! You should go to Mexico and live, that'll show 'em you won't take that kind of crap!!

[syncked]

Awww. Don't fret so yung'uns-As we speak, I'm sure ACLU lawyers are on the plane headed your way.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

I was thinking the same thing. Some drastic action needs to be taken. Trying now to think of how to organize to get something done about all of this and get loyal support to do it -- not undercover, liberal left-wing authorities who are trying to hand the country over to Mexico. Have to go after the leadership of organizations promoting this. If you cut the head off of the snake, you kill the body. Where are all of the people with some backbone?

We need to organize, take off from our jobs for a few days and go to Arizona to mount a MASSIVE protest against the illegal arrest of that young man who burned the intruding Mexican flag. And, the numbers need to be overwhelming. Rush Limbaugh could help with this if he would.

[P-40]

we're not allowed to go to prom for standing up for something that we believe is right

I don't think he understands that he was suspended for cutting class. Not going to prom is part of the punishment. He could have spent the day at a quilting bee and gotten the same treatment. Protest in valuable *after school* time next time.

At some point most likely it will..... The civil rights and Vietnam era protest had some violence and many youth involved.

[Comanche]

"Chez Willie" is long gone. Ran out of town for blowing the whistle on the Czech halls. They did'nt require the pain in the ass cards. Now they do. 100 years of tradition gone.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah, I'll be holding my breath waiting for the student protest today. LOL

[HitmanLV]

I think part of the inherent nobility in doing 'something you beleive in' is to absorb the consequences of it, on route to the social change you want to see realized.

Increasingly, our culture insists on enjoying benefits with no interest in bearing the burderns. Odd.

[John Filson]

It's time for American kids to counter-protest.

[SaveTheChief]

A massive protest like the one you and I both envision simply won't happen. Most good people work and have families to support. They are responsible to their jobs and their communities and don't have the time to go across the country to stand around and wave signs and flags.

Even if this were possible and people decided to answer the call for their country, how many conservative Americans would it take to be noticed by the government and the media and convince the world that we're serious? A hundred thousand? Five hundred thousand? A million?

That's the primary difference between us and them.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I am not sure why there aren't more protests against all this Illegal Aliens protesting stuff. Is it because most Americans are not so directly affected? Or are they afraid to demonstrate?


One dirty bomb killing tens of thousands (and that bomb crossed the southern border) and the borders will be shut down in 24 hours with shoot to kill orders. I hate to think it will take this to turn this Illegals mess around. You would think that 25% of our prison population made up of Illegals who have committed serious crimes would be enough.

Guess not.

[txflake]

I've been looking around for boycott plans here on FR and can't find any. I will be happy to eschew all produce for a month - mexican products, too - we need to Send Vincente And His Ex-pats A Message.

[cripplecreek]

I like to ask...

How many Americans have been killed on our soil in the last 3 years? Now, how many Americans have been killed by illegal aliens in that same time frame?

[cripplecreek]

How many Americans have been killed on our soil in the last 3 years?

I meant to ask "How many Americans have been killed on our soil BY TERRORISTS in the last 3 years?

"Our primary responsibility is to serve, educate and protect those who have been entrusted in our care, and there must be consequences for those who break the rules," Mr. Hyde said.

That is a lesson that needs to be learned!

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Let's boycott Mexican wine. All humor aside, I can't really think of anything from Mexico that I can't do without. Pinatas, cheap pottery, low quality silver jewelery, cabrito. Nope. Can't think of a thing.

[Burkean]

They got suspended and barred from the prom for being truant, not for standing up for what they believe.

They should have staged their protest AFTER school or on the weekend. Then they would see more clearly that their rights are not being violated.

[ol' hoghead]

you got suspended for skipping school

You wouldn't expect the 'little angels' to protest on their own time, would you? :^) /sarcasm off

[txflake]

I know. If I did Mexican dope, I'd boycott it, but I don't.

Their beer is over-rated and certainly over-priced.. what the heck can I boycott? Got to be more than lettuce.

[sgtbono2002]

"We got suspended, and we're not allowed to go to prom for standing up for something that we believe is right,"

Well you found out you were wrong.

Called Jose's Taco Loco now?

[oh8eleven]

My guess is that it will take nothing less than the American Revolution Pt II. We're in a truly serious situation when our elected officials, both Dims & Reps, support foreigners over American citizens. If it takes blood in the streets, so be it.

< Protest in valuable *after school* time next time. >

"...but....but....after school we won't get as big a crowd..."

90% of the protesters are just enjoying being out of school. Give them the option of the protest or home on the phone or going to the mall, what do you think they will choose?

[who knows what evil?]

Now, how many Americans have been killed by illegal aliens in that same time frame?

I have often wondered that myself. It seems like I see an article on a near-daily basis about Americans being killed by illegals driving drunk/irresponsibly on our highways. I'm not even counting the murders and rapes...

[CheyennePress]

Czech halls?

[Ladysmith]

LOL!!

[Supernatural]

A tsunami of dissension against the illegals and the tactics of the left is building.

Things are going to come to a head well before election time.

Should make our duly elected representatives start to sweat.

As they have sown, so shall they reap.

"That's messed up because we been stressing over prom for like practically a whole year," Lesly said.

Like, um, that messed up Lesly gal should have been stressing more over English class.

[Moose4]

Gee. They could always have their own prom on the 5th of May.

[Vasilli22]

Tourism and tequila?

[mtbopfuyn]

The students marched peacefully for about two hours, covering several miles, he said. "They were well-behaved and posed no problem except that they were in the street," Mr. Howerton said.

So, arrest them and have their parents post bail to get them out. Let that follow them on their future college and job applications.

Oh, and where is it written (other than in dummie races) that 6th graders can vote?

[CyberAnt]

This is a great lesson for the "children" to learn. It's okay to stand up for what you believe in .. but you don't pee on other authority to accomplish it.

The 60's are over - get over it!

[mtbopfuyn]

Gee. They could always have their own prom on the 5th of May.

I'm partial to April 21st.

[SUSSA]

Good for Ennis. They should also call the
INS about anyone they think is an illegal alien.

[goodnesswins]

Dos Equis?

[cgbg]

Te Amo cigars--but that would not be much of a sacrifice. :-)

[Moose4]

Is that San Jacinto Day?

}:-)4

[Chode]

HA ha...
and the RATS take another one in the...

[SMM48]

Gee. They could always have their own prom on the 5th of May.

And, speaking of May 5th, when was the last time anyone saw the 4th of July being celebrated in Mexico City?

[SMM48]

I've been looking around for boycott plans here on FR and can't find any. I will be happy to eschew all produce for a month - mexican products, too - we need to Send Vincente And His Ex-pats A Message.

Not sure if this is just Arizona or all over the country but Illegal Organizers here are calling for a work stoppage on April 10th. They have publicly told businesses to cooperate or they will publicize their names. I think it would be nice if everyone stopped using illegal labor for one week. At least don't hire anyone from the Home Depot parking lot for one week.
