OK -- Enuff-z-Enuff!!!

Unbelieveable!!! I was caught behind some of these pint sized advocates for illegal aliens (er, ah) undocumented workers on the SW Freeway earlier this week. It's a given that many of these kids were just looking for a reason to ditch school, though school was the one place where they needed to be.

Case in point: they marched on CITY HALL -- a place that has literally nothing to do with immigration policy -- instead of the FEDERAL COURTHOUSE. They would know this if they were in their CIVICS CLASS AT SCHOOL instead of playing Marco Polo in the City Hall reflecting pool.


Here's one of the gems from yesterday's Houston Comical outlining the mentality of these "protestors":

"There's no other way to be heard ... It's not the best way or the right way, but it's our way," Reagan freshman Jose Lopez, 14, said of the effort.

Well, thank you Cicero, for your laser sharp command of civics!!!

Let me get this straight -- you're going to prove what an asset you are to American Society by violating its laws, assaulting its values, and then pretending like it's your only method of recourse.

Let me school you -- YOU ARE NOT ROSA PARKS!!! Our history is replete with acts of civil disobedience that are revered. This is not one of them. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s was designed to make a place for black Americans at the table of American society. Much needed and well deserved. But these stunts are about what you can take off the table for yourselves, without the responsibility of giving back to society.

Bottom line -- we are a coountry of laws, beginning with the basic law of citizenship. Do not demand a voice in a country that you are not legally entitled to be in.

And my mesage to all of the folks out protesting this week is:

Isn't your time better spent in school learning to legally use our system of government to bilk huge entitlements for yourself courtesy of the US taxpayer. That is, after all, the AMERICAN way!

One of the most interesting things that I noticed this past weekend during news coverage was the prevalence of American flags in the protesting crowds. This was in stark contrast to the ‘plethora’ of Mexican flags seen among the mass of humanity from the week before. It looks like the organizers are paying attention to poll results, editorial pages and talk radio – they recognize that most of America doesn’t appreciate the image of folks here illegally, demanding rights of citizenship and all benefits thereof (presumably without the commensurate obligations), yet refusing to divest their loyalty to the home nation.

Puts a new spin on that ‘wrapping yourself in the flag’ axiom that the left trots out, now doesn’t it?
