Poor Jose!

Poor Jose Guerra! Jose is a senior at the University of Texas at Brownsville and president of the student government association. He's also an illegal alien.

Poor Jose! He had to try sneaking into the U.S. twice before he made it successfully across the border at age 15.

Poor Jose! He can't become a U.S. citizen because he lied when he tried to cross the border the first time.

Poor Jose! He says, "I don't see why they would educate people here in the United States and spend like thousands and thousands of dollars and then just send them back." Like, I don't think poor Jose got enough education if he's like a college senior and still peppers his speech with like. But I have to agree with poor Jose on one point. Why are we spending thousands and thousands of dollars educating illegals?

Juliet Garcia is the University President. She said, "The plight of these bright, young students that are prepared to become productive contributors to our society has become a human tragedy." Give me a break! Human tragedy? I don't think so. The Holocaust was a human tragedy. The Bataan Death March was a human tragedy. 9/11 was a human tragedy. I could name a lot of others, but you get my drift. Hmmmm . . . Garcia. Maybe we better check poor Juliet's papers.
