i read the Linda Greenhouse piece. Thank you, Medusa. i kinda like the idea of everyone who wants to protest the law wearing a button that says, "i may be illegal."
Do you think people are going to expect police to stop folks randomly? If that starts, there are going to be some violent encounters -- and for what?
That was interesting -- in the article -- about how little stood between this country educating students who aren't citizens and not. So many of my students are not citizens. One of my seniors who isn't a citizen is going to graduate with a diploma this JUne. This is a Special Ed kid -- from Richmond. His brother got senselessly murdered earlier in the year. Not the easiest life. AND he has a learning disability. And guess what? He's graduating. AND he will become an auto mechanic. We should be grateful that he's here. How many of us could have lived his life and done all the has done so far even?
