I really don't want to fan the flames of the Mexican immigration question, but this story sort of got my attention.
I don't want to see any harm come to a single Mexican student, and if crossing the border to temporarily avoid harm in their own school, then I'm o.k. with it. However, this situation is turning more and more into a permanent solution, and I have a problem with Mexican nationals sending their children to U.S. schools for free (I didn't read any statement about charges for attending a U.S. school) on a permanent basis.
It is becoming more abundantly clear each day that the government of Mexico is either unable or unwilling to accomodate
the safety needs of their citizens and we, as a nation, are becoming the beneficiary of their problems. This problem is only going to get worse as the violence rages unchecked along the Mexican-U.S. border.
BTW--I am not anti-Hispanic. I do not discriminate against Hispanics and I like and admire Hispanic U.S. citizens and persons who are in this country legally and are willing to own up to their share of responsibility and try to maintain the same standards that we ask of any citizen.
