Each year many of our young people go through the rite of passage known as GRADUATION! We have parties, excursions, and wish them all the best of luck. Many go on to college. Many into full fledged illegal alien status and all the problems that come with it. The reason this is occurring is that regardless (there is no such word as irregardless, by the way) of the legal status of the parents, many migrants never apply for color of law for their children and our education system never requires it. Many come to this country illegally while infants, survive the odds and end up in our school system. They grow up here. This is all they know. Their graduation is a big dump job into society where they are left to fend for themselves. Some go to public rallies supporting illegals and carry signs, by golly. Some get gang raped so they can get welfare benefits, otherwise known as siesta checks. Some of our esteemed County level Social Services never investigate teen pregnancy because many are from incest and they don't want to open a can of worms. This is my suggestion. As part of Welfare Reform and Immigration Reform, how about making it Federal Law that failure to apply for color of law for the children of immigrants is to be guilty of child abuse by their parents and prosecutable. Any child in the school system needs to present forms for application of color of law, or documentation of being under color of law. Children graduating without this will be considered abused by the parents or legal guardian and those individuals will be persued for enforcement and punishment if found guilty. Well, many immigrants are too poor. They would have years to comply, and many earn $4000 to $5000 a month and use BancoMex to wire it to Mexico, while collecting welfare benefits, food stamps, and medicaid. Many receive huge income tax refunds because they claim all their relatives living in Mexico as dependents. If they do not invest in their children, the US Govt needs to start dinging their paychecks and IRS refunds. And while we're at it, taxing illegal paychecks for the cost of their illegal children in our school system isn't such a bad idea. They want rights? Show them this one, the right to pay taxes.
