Michelle Malkin has the story that I imagined was happening this morning as I was watching news reruns. The students that walked out of schools in CA to "protest" and disrupt traffic have not only not been punished, but actually rewarded.
Letters were sent out, both in English and Spanish, to inform parents that the police would be taking care of the lawbreakers, including providing them with rides back to the school after they blocked traffic on an interstate. The police instead should have arrested them. Do you think I could get away with walking on an interstate and blocking traffic if I wanted to protest something?
The students instead should be suspended from school. Those who did NOT participate should be rewarded by having school days without disruption from those who are lawbreakers. The federal government should suspend all funding of those school districts -- why am *I* being forced to pay for students to walk on an interstate highway?
The students should be warned that if they disrupt the school day again that they will be suspended. The police should have had paddy wagons out, picking up the "kids." Do you think for a minute they would have kept going if there were a couple arrests and shots fired?
No, I don't care about the escalation. It's too late -- it's already escalted. We have now shown the "kids" in CA that if you don't want to go to school because the Congress might actually make your parents responsible for their own actions, that not only is it okay, we will protect you while you do it.
I'm not sure there's any hope left for this country.
Shame on them for following such terrible examples as Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi, and Henry David thoreau. A free, democratic country is no place for peaceful protest and civil disobedience.
Yes, that's right, I remember now -- Martin Luther King Jr. protested so that people would be forced at gunpoint to give him money via taxes. And Ghandi, isn't he the one that blocked traffic in downtown New York so that he could force everyone else to speak Indian for him?
Moron. There's NO comparison. Those people wanted peace and fairness. These people want free handouts, free education, free housing, free food, and anything else we can give them to reward them for breaking the law.
If you are not a U.S. citizen by birth, or did not acquire U.S. citizenship automatically after birth, you may still be eligible to become a citizen through the normal naturalization process. People who are 18 years and older use the "Application for Naturalization" (Form N-400) to become naturalized. Persons who acquired citizenship from parent(s) while under 18 years of age, use the "Application for a Certificate of Citizenship" (Form N-600) to document their naturalization . Adopted children who acquired citizenship from parent(s) use the "Application for a Certificate of Citizenship on Behalf of an Adopted Child", (Form N-643) to document their naturalization.
What a crock of shit that was.
The message sent to these students and the message these students are sending are one and the same: lawlessness gets rewarded.
We're in big, big trouble. Our society is unraveling.
After watching the evening news and talking to my best friend in Texas--she was in a car accident with illegals yesterday (their fault, no insurance, her vehicle totaled; this just a few months after she buried her mother, whom she caregave for some 15 years)--I'm in a dark mood tonight.
And I've sustained permanent personal injury from my accident last spring, when an immigrant rear-ended me.
Ship 'em out of here! I've had enough.
I'm just waiting for the violence to increase. It will, it's only a matter of time. I'm actually surprised that the students in CA didn't get run over. Then again, I guess most of the drivers were illegals, too.
