Education officials say scores of immigrant families have withdrawn their children from classes or kept them home this week, afraid that sending the kids to school would draw attention from authorities.

They aren't going to call ICE or anything so what's the problem?

I quit watching Border Patrol on NatGeo because someone always had to add in about how "they felt kind of sorry for them....they were just looking for a better life...."

Exactly! But, of course, as criminals, they are always fearful of law enforcement. They think if their children are identified as being illegal, ICE will drag them from their homes in the middle of the night. Clearly, if ICE won’t even arrest repeat drunk drivers, why on earth would they bother them?

Sounds just like those who scream racial profiling in the enforcement of our immigration laws. There is no basis for it whatsover and even in some remote cases where this may happen legal Hispanics have nothing to fear.

There is only so much of the pie to go around and if we give it all away we won't have any for ourselves. When we're broke and destitute who will come to our aid? If we can't help ourselves we can't help anyone else either.

It's time to close the Southern border and take care of America and straighten out this immigration mess the politicians got us into. First order of business is to vote out all politicians and start fresh with some new ones.
