According to several reports, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency of the Border Patrol, voluntarily pulled out after a petition drive gathered several hundred signatures and objections were raised by the president of the Associated Students of UC Irvine. Both asserted that the Border Patrol's participation was insensitive to the school's hundreds of undocumented students. "We cannot expect undocumented students to not be unhappy or frustrated, that's only natural," said Parshan Khosravi, head of the student group.

Just when I think things can't get anymore ridiculous, they do. Border patrol is a decent, respectable way to make a living and these illegal students are curtailing the career options of thousands of American students. Perhaps UC-Irvine would like to give back the money they receive from the federal government? They're mostly hurting Hispanic students, since Border Patrol is in need of bilingual Spanish speakers.
Those are your words not mine. I stated quite clearly that we should secure the borders. I did not state the reason. But here it is: each country has the right to regulate who comes in and out of its country. Period. If I try to walk in and out countries I deem desirable I would be stopped and forced to go through whatever processes of that nation. That many do not think we have the same right is ludicrous.
Nothing worse than law enforcement hanging out were criminals are also hanging out. It makes the criminals nervous and uncomfortable. This makes it so hard for criminals to enjoy themselves fully.
Shoplifters hate store security. Speeders hate speed traps and you know drunk drivers hate those check points.
I guess the answer is to do away with law enforcement so that the absolute minority in this country, (That minority being those who ignore our laws) don't have to feel infringed upon.
I'm nineteen and I am very concerned at how politically correct my generation has come. I know this is California where everyone's a winner but being in the Border Patrol shouldn't be insensitive at all as they do protect our border from external threats not just Hispanics as UC Irvine thinks.
UC Irvine is the school that voted to ban the display of the American Flag.
