Students Protest Deportation of Pot Smoking Illegal Alien
Thursday, November 8th, 2007You know, if you’re in the country illegally you should probably make sure your kid isn’t taking dope to school:
TUCSON, Ariz. — About a hundred students demonstrated outside a Tucson high school Tuesday, then marched five miles downtown to protest the arrest and removal to Mexico of a classmate and his family.
….
School officials searched the backpack of a 17-year-old freshman who was incoherent, and when they found a substance that looked like marijuana, called police — standard procedure.
“Police were called in because there was marijuana found in a student’s backpack,” Lander said. “Administrators have the right to go through a backpack when the situation warrants, and the student was acting strangely, was incoherent. He wasn’t able to talk and make complete sentences,” she said.
Police called the boy’s parents and asked them to come to the school. When they arrived, police asked to see their drivers’ licenses.
The parents acknowledged living in the United States illegally with their two sons, including a sixth-grader, for a half-dozen years.
Police in turn notified the Border Patrol, who took all four people into custody.
Usually when we hear about a school administrator taking action against a student these days, the administrator is failing to apply common sense to some zero-tolerance policy. This time, its an administrator who has done exactly the right thing, and his students are protesting him anyway.
Immigration advocates think that allowing Border Patrol Agents onto school grounds will keep illegal aliens from sending their kids to school.
Jennifer Allen, director of the Border Action Network, said allowing immigration agents into schools could create more mistrust and fear in the immigrant community.
Let’s see: Border Patrol Agents enter school grounds, so illegal aliens keep their kids out of schools they’re not paying for, resulting in no tax dollars being spent educating people who shouldn’t be here. Exactly what is the problem here?
What these border activists don’t realize is that there should be fear in the illegal alien community. These people have broken the law to enter this country, and they continue to break the law by staying here. These people should be scared to death that at any minute the Border Patrol is going to find them and have them deported. Maybe if illegal aliens were more fearful of being deported, they would either immigrate legally or stay out of the country altogether. Either of these choices is preferable to what they are doing now.
