BTW, there’s a poll on the page of the newspaper and only 4 people have voted on it.
That's not very many.

We need to let the reporter see how this country’s citizens feel about the issue by voting on that poll.
If there's a comparison of voters vs # times article viewed then I would say this country’s citizens have shown the reporter how they feel by not voting.
It's not even worth their time to take the poll.

Here in AZ we (regular people) just refer to them as ILLEGALS. Period. The media calls them undocumented...but they don’t count.

They didn’t mean to stay forever but plans change. What a crock! This poor girl’s parents stayed in the US either knowing full well the problems she would encounter or more likely because of all the talk of amnesty that was going around a few years ago. They figured they would get amnesty and everything would be hunky dory. Now they are in the “S@#t” as Gordon Ramsey would say.

Undocumented immigrant. Is that anything like an illegal alien?

I am rabidly opposed to amnesty and have spent literally hours of time emailing and calling legislators to oppose it. If the DREAM ACT would do nothing more than let 68,000 kids stay here permanently and go to college or join the military I would probably be OK with it but as we all know that is not the case. This backdoor amnesty bill was going to allow people up to 30 years old to be included and then let them apply to bring their whole famdamily in from Mexico. So in reality it would have been about 2 million people.

Its not the fault of the kids but it is the fault of the parents who came here illegally and choices have consquences. These kids don’t have the right to take scholarships that legitimate US kids could be getting. Sorry I’m just not buying this emotional blackmail scheme by the uber lefties.

custody follows the parents.

They ARE illegal and subject to deportation, so she could go with them upon deportation.

Besides how do ILLEGAL ALIENS afford such expensive class trips?

for every illegal alien in a school, some legal resident or citizen is deprived of opportunites.
