The sins of parents are visited upon their children.  Such is the nature of things.   

Can your friends speak and write English at a high school level?  Do they have clean records?   Those are the things I would require for illegal immigrants to stay here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ss,

i recently read your  blog in which i was browiseing through to find information on step to become a citizen. im a 19 mexican american high school graduated. the reason of my search is becuase i have many friends who came to this country illgeally at a very young age. accepting the american life they grew up in the american society. some which have forgotten their spanish language and graduated with honor roll.  i understand the whole situation about the imigrantion probelm beause eventhough im a natural born citizen i have the face of cactus. i sometimes find it hard to see many of my friends who are very intellegent high school graduate with honor roll lived here since the age of three be denied a job, college aplication and can&#039;t even do the simplest things an average american can do. such as drive a vehical since they cant apply for a licenses or open a bank account finace for a car get an apartment etc. as i move on with my life and join the military go to college and open so many door of opportunity my friends are stuck in a situatuion they never asked for. i always tell go apply for a visa or a gren card show them records that u have been here for so long, but the fear of being deported is always their. the fear of them being deported to a country they have no clue about because all they know is america. imagine someone being deported who spoke english are their life in mexico, how would they find work and establish themselvesm, they would feel aleinaited. my question to you is how is the american government going to treat these types of people? and what are the steps on naturalizing these types of people and if there is already a process what is it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My understanding is that adult ed teachers are paid hourly.

I wasn&#039;t suggesting YOU think schools just serve illegals.  I was paraphrasing &quot;those things people say.&quot;

Mr. F. is a legal citizen engaging in civil disobedience.  I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s the right thing to do, but it has been done in this country for a looooooong time.

I could go on and on about the policy in PWC and how it has thwarted attempts at assimilation, but frankly, I&#039;m tired of the whole discussion.  If you want the longer version along with the full scope of who is scaring whom away, see antibvbl.net.  It&#039;s nothing personal.  I&#039;m just worn out.]]></description>
