Following up on my previous post, I just heard a caller to Laura Ingraham's show make this point:  Once the illegal immigrants are given permanent resident status or citizenship, they are going to want better jobs.  They will be (even if only for practical purposes) Americans; therefore they will no longer want to do those jobs-that-Americans-won’t-do.  

Who is going to do those jobs then?

This caller, by the way, is a naturalized U.S. citizen who immigrated from Senegal.

In other news and speaking again of  flags:

By the laws of the state in which I live, every person has the right to display the US flag, to include wearing the flag on his person.  This state recognizes that this first amendment right extends to students at school.  Two public schools have taken it upon themselves to prohibit students from doing so.  Despite the fact that they have been informed that they are breaking the law, these two schools are digging in.  (Did I neglect to mention that the schools are breaking the laws?)  Students are being sent home for even wearing clothing in the colors red, white and blue.  There will more than likely be court action necessary to “motivate” the schools to obey the law.

But, when you think about it.  If Mexicans and other South Americans don’t have to obey our immigration laws, why should we expect anyone—even, or perhaps, especially, citizens—to obey any law?  Lawlessness begets lawlessness.
