We had a young fellow work for us one summer. (I guess that makes me part of the problem.) He already had a green card by then. One day, at lunch, he was telling us about going to school in Mexico. He was at school one day when there was an eclipse of the sun. He said the teacher poked a hole in the roof so the kids could watch the sunlight, and the shadow of the moon, on the floor of the classroom. My wife asked him... "Your teacher poked a hole in the roof?" He said "Yes. It was a tin roof. Like your shed." He didn't think anything of it. He came to the US with his older brother who had a work permit. He finished school in Texas. He's got kids of his own now. And a job. He pays taxes. It really doesn't bother that he went to school in this country, even if he wasn't legal at the time.

The liberals have twisted the question around. It shouldn't be a question as to whether or not they should be allowed to attend school. It should be a question as to whether or not they should be allowed to stay in this country. If they are here illegally, then going to school shouldn't even be an option. But like you say, we are not serious about enforcing the law. I don't know if it is because we want a cheap supply of labor of if it is just politics. Probably both.

Good grief. I must have been tired last night when I wrote that. According to the Hutchinson News I'm supposed to be a seething, paranoid, Nazi racist. Because I voted for Morris. I must be getting soft.

I'd better get out today and kick some poor people out of the hospital. Steal some senior citizen's social security checks. Exploit some women. Participate in some unusual religious rituals. All those things we conservative love to do.

Yeah, that makes sense to me.

I am sure I would have voted for Morris as a conservative, regardless of this issue. But I agree with you that it's been framed wrong. How's a newspaper gonna scare people away from voting conservative without an issue adjustment here and there? They really have to do it ya know.
