Undocumented American Going to College



Undocumented American Going to College
A Letter to the Editor of the Orange County Register

The other night I listened to Senator Reid’s dirge lamenting the failure to pass the immigration bill. He mentioned an acquaintance that was unable to go to college because her parents were undocumented Americans. I was shocked. This is America and it is fundamental that we don’t discriminate because of one’s parentage. Surely this must be very common since this was so prominent in his speech. We must get to the root of this travesty! Please, Mr. Reid, identify this presumably American citizen and the officials who have so blatantly discriminated against her, along with the thousands of others in the same situation so we can banish the evil doers to Gitmo, or Bismark, or Searchlight! Or am I missing something here? Perhaps she is undocumented just like her parents, and the discrimination has nothing to do with her parentage after all.

And if I hear one more word about the illegals being in the shadows, I'm gonna scream. They're all out in the sun: in the strawberry fields, picking grapes, mowing and blowing all white man's front yards, in the Depot's parking lots, you name it. But in the shadows, hah! The people saying they are in the shadows are the ones in the dark!

Next article, what happens when the undocumented Americans get old and can't push the maid cart any more, or can't pick lettuce, or wash our cars?
