This morning I woke up a few minutes later than usual, I guess because it is nearing the end of the work week and I always seem to have less energy, even though I have been making an attempt to go to bed earlier.  Gone are the days that I would stay up until 2 or 3 AM and still get up for work at 5:30.   I guess my age is starting to catch me.

Anyway I got up and took a nice warm shower and then got my coffee and opened up Trillian and Skype so I could spend the time before work with my beloved Laila. 

Anyway that is when I heard something that was very disturbing on the news and I heard it emphasized a little more in the car on the way to work.  It seems that the Junior High and High School students in Oceanside have created such a ruckus, that they have shut down the junior, middle, and high schools for the rest of the week.  I have not heard of that happening in the city limits here yet, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen here too, as the word gets out that Oceanside has closed the schools.  After all, these kids all love an excuse to miss school, and even though they do not have a clue about what they are protesting about. 

It seems to me someone is putting these kids up to this and I do not think it would be their parents especially if the parents are illegal, as I would think they would want to stay out of the spotlight.  I am wondering if there may be a few folks out there in our schools encouraging these kids to do this for some reason.  After all I saw a picture of a Mexican Flag, flying over an upside down American Flag at one of the local schools.  Since the lanyards are locked after the flag is raised someone in authority had to be involved, and I want to know whom.  The taxpayers of this state pay teacher's wages and if there is someone out there being paid by me, that allow things like this to happen at our schools to the Flag of the United States of America, then I want that person terminated immediately.  I also want to see any teachers that may be encouraging this civil disobedience terminated too, as they are there to teach our children, not encourage defiance of authority.

Actually I think all the attention these folks have raised will actually hurt their own cause.  If I were one of the people inconvenienced by these kids blocking the roads and highways I would be a little angry.  And you know whom I would take it out on?  My elected officials, that's who.

Congress had better get this one right, and I will watch voting records very carefully.  I will not allow any of these people to tell me they are tough on immigration, unless I see them vote for those tougher laws.  I will not accept an amnesty program of any type and I think anyone who suggests it, should be voted out of office.

Reagan had his great amnesty program complete with tough laws to keep this problem from happening again.  See where that has managed to get us?  We have more illegal's here now than ever before.  We don't need any new laws; we need enforcement of the old ones.  I would have extremely stiff fines for anyone caught hiring or caring for illegal aliens.  I would have mobile boarder patrol and immigration enforcement offices at all the Home Depot's and Lowe's.  I would have an agent stationed at each emergency room. 

There is no need for a fence.  I say put the National Guard on the border.  Have them follow the same rules of engagement that the Mexican military has on its southern border.  When they have these protests I would like to see the border patrol and military show up and have them detained.  As illegal immigrants you have no rights or privileges granted to you by the Constitution of the United States.  At these rallies people need to show a valid ID or be immediately arrested and deported.  I want our government to treat these people the same way an American would be treated should he be caught being in Mexico illegally.

I see a lot of Mexican Flags at these rallies.  If you are so proud of Mexico and so disappointed with the United States then why are you here?  Why is it better to sneak in rather to apply for legal entry?  If you say it takes too long guess why, genius?  It is because of all the illegal's that are here now, which will cut down on legal immigrants.

You say that you are here to just raise your family and you hurt no one.  Wrong again, as I have a recent experience that demonstrates it. 

My son was at work a couple of weeks ago when someone driving a white pickup truck with Baja Mexico plates hit his car and caused a bunch of damages.  Of course this fine upstanding example of the type of good citizens, that are just trying to take care of their families and make money, stopped and swapped insurance information, drivers license information and checked to see if my son was ok.  Nope, or course not, the guy sped off as fast as he could, leaving me to pay my insurance deductable, watching my insurance rate rise, and having to watch my son lose time at work as he didn't have a car to make his deliveries in.

This is not the first time this has happened to me either.  It happened back in about 1986 when the then wife was run off the road by a group of these people.  In that one there were injuries to the wife and both kids. 

I want to see life imprisonment for identity theft as the illegal alien using someone else's Social Security Number is messing up someone's credit and tax status.  This has to stop and a really stiff sentence would do it.

What is with banks giving home loans to illegals?  That practice will definitely have to stop.  There are so many people that have a hard time qualifying for a home loan that are legal citizens of this country and here we have banks giving loans to people who are not citizens, who may flee the country instead of paying back the loan.

There are many questions I have concerning illegals, such as why do they seem to have more rights than citizens.  If they commit a crime they are deported only to sneak back in at a later date.  They pay cheaper tuition than out of state residents for our colleges. They don't have to register their car, get insurance or even learn to drive, though they know what to do in case of an accident, run to the border.

Frankly, I have had it and I want to see something done and amnesty of any type is not acceptable.  Anyone here when the law is signed should be rounded up, shipped home, and go to the bottom of the immigration list. 

Demonstrate your patriotism in your own country, not on my streets.  Learn English, but do not demand for me to speak your language.  Stop stealing Social Security Numbers, bringing your gang members, your drug dealers, and your thieves here.  Yes, immigrants founded our country, but they were legal, not lawbreakers like the ones coming here now.
