>What are the alternatives — let them continue to live in the shadows or deport them? Not even the most aggressively anti-immigration groups are calling for the latter<
YES...deport them.
And if the younguns want to complain about being taken away from “the only life they’ve known” (etc. etc. barf) then they need to take it up with their parents who made a DELIBERATE decision to turn their children into lawbreakers. That’s more to the point than protesting in the street and demanding discount college tuituion.
And when do we see a repayment from these “poor young illegals” for the free medical care and education they have received from American citizens while they were “living in the shadows?”
And, of course, the education has to be in Spanish with an emphasis on the glorious history of Spain and Latin America. Think I’m exaggerating? Every Texas community of any size has at least one High School where you will not hear a word of English spoken in the classrooms or the hallways, and any English spoken is heavily accented...students and teachers and administrators. They all sound like they came over the border about 1 year ago. Viva Bilingual!!
I am so sick of the apologists for THESE LAW BREAKERS...parents and children and grandparents and the whole lot.
Show me your papers or get out!!
