Some 'indocumentados' are not very helpful

(My new American Thinker post)
As a supporter of a limited but humane solution for young people who were brought here as kids, I find this story appalling:    

"Dozens of undocumented students at Wake Technical Community College are pushing for changes to a policy that requires them to pay out-of-state tuition.    The students are forced to pay the out-of-state fees, which are nearly four times the cost of in-state tuition, even if they graduated from a North Carolina high school and have been living in the state for some time."

This is sick:   

""I think it's discriminatory because they give us the opportunity already to be able to study here. We work really hard," said undocumented student....."

Let me say this:

These young persons should thank God that they are illegally in the US.  God only knows what the Mexican authorities would to do them if they were Central Americans marching in Mexico.  

These young people deserve nothing.  They are already here.  They are enjoying the benefits of the US.  Frankly, shut up and stop complaining.  Nobody owes you anything!  You should be grateful that this nation is willing to consider some legalization of your illegal status.

I am naturalized citizen and my 3 sons were born here.  They would have to pay out of state tuition if they selected a school out of Texas. That's the way it is!

The immigration reform debate is already very difficult.  I support granting young people some pathway to legalization. 

However, it's not easy when people demand stuff from this country.   There are millions of Americans unemployed and underemployed. Thousands have quit looking or can only find part-time work.  Do you think that they want to hear garbage like this from someone who is not legally in the country?

As I've said before, it's time for some people in the Hispanic community to grow up and accept some reality.  Asking for stuff or marching with Mexican flags loses people like me who are trying to help you!

A book about Cuba that you should read


We love books about Cuba, specially those who look back at Castro's betrayal of the Cuban people.  

 Victor Andres Triay's book is the story of the Leon family and how they struggled with the communist takeover and repression.  Another theme is the separation of family members and how communism put thousands of Cubans to death and prison.

 Victor's new book is "The struggle begins":



"Havana, Cuba, 1960. The euphoria following the nation’s successful Revolution the previous year has waned among large sectors of the population. Cuba’s new leader, Fidel Castro, after having promised to restore democracy to the troubled island, is forcibly dragging the country down the road to Communist dictatorship. As a dark Stalinist cloud begins to envelop the country, democratic forces launch an anti-government insurgency with the hope of saving Cuba from the totalitarian darkness that threatens her. The Unbroken Circle series is the story of the fictional León family, whose peaceful, middle class existence is swept suddenly into a tempest of warfare, betrayal, and separation during the early years of the Cuban Revolution. In Book I, The Struggle Begins, Goyo León, a devoted teacher and family man, is recruited into the anti-Castro underground after his father is killed at the hands of Castro’s henchmen. Unbeknownst to Goyo, his young cousins Roberto and Emilio have also secretly joined the anti-Communist resistance through acquaintances at the University of Havana. With the three cousins becoming more deeply involved in the pro-democracy struggle every day, tensions rise as the stakes for their homeland reach an all-time high. Told with the heart-pounding suspense of a Cold War saga and the poignancy of a family drama, The Struggle Begins sets the stage for The Unbroken Circle series with electrifying power."

 Victor was born in the US and has written books about "The Bay of Pigs" & "Pedro Pan".    Here are the books:
