Los Angeles Students Walk Out in Immigration Reform Protests
Los Angeles Students Walk Out in Immigration Reform Protests
March 27th, 2006 @ 5:06 pm

Across Los Angeles today, students from LAUSD high schools walked out in protest of the immigration reform that “proposed criminal penalties for residents found to be in this country illegally.” Students from “as many as 21 campuses took part in the protest,” with approximately 20,000 students or more participating.



My daughter who attends an LAUSD San Fernanado Valley high school called me this morning at about 9:00 am, to tell me she was walking out. She joined with other students from her school who marched down sidewalks and streets with police escort to the Van Nuys Courthouse area where some 1000 students from atleast 6 or 7 San Fernando Valley high schools rallied for 3 - 4 hours.

1. Isn't being here illegally um, illegal?
What's wrong with criminal penalties for criminal activity?

2. What's wrong with human rights and compassion?
It's okay to eat the fruit and veggies the pick isn't it, while they work slave type labor for the big agri-business. Enjoy your salads, when they are gone you'll be pickin your own.

3. this is a case of human rights, justice, etc
sometimes laws should be broken because they are unjust. and sometimes we need to change them because of it.
