Looking out the window
Earlier today, I called my uncle to give him the latest information about Star and her situation. As we were talking, he told me that the school at which my aunt works as a counsellor has gone into lockdown mode. According to him, some of the students were threatening to start a riot.
As I was coming back from Popeye’s with my lunch, I noticed a news copter hovering near Aldine High – the school at which my aunt works. Naturally, I remembered what my uncle had said, and I was becoming concerned for the safety of my aunt.
Fortunately, it didn’t turn out to be a riot. It looks as though illegals immigrants and their sympathizers have staged a massive walk-out of Houston schools to protest the inhumane way illegals are treated here in Texas. And, by “inhumane,” I really mean free education, free food, free medical care, and free passes to commit murder and other violent crimes.
Students Skip School To Protest Immigration Plan
Hundreds of northwest Houston high school students walked out of class Monday to protest in the streets over efforts in Congress to crack down on illegal immigrants, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Students at Eisenhower High School started their protest march at their school, located at 7922 Antoine, and planned to end it at Interstate 45.
The House passed measures that would make being an undocumented immigrant a felony and erect a 700-mile fence along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border.
Many of the students said immigration reform hits close to home and they believe that it would be unfair.
“This is a country of immigrants. How are you just going to make a law and tell them to leave? You can’t just do that,” a student said.
“We’re the hardest working people in the country and they’re trying to take us away,” another student said.
Lawmakers said the stricter regulations are necessary to improving homeland security and economic strength.
The students said the decision to walk out of school was made Monday morning.
Students at four Dallas-area schools also walked out of class in protest.
The Senate takes up the issue Tuesday.
