Family: Illegal-immigrant student martyred himself for Dream Act

An illegal-immigrant student in Texas who committed suicide the day after Thanksgiving left letters saying he felt trapped by his lack of opportunities and, according to his family, he “decided to sacrifice himself for the cause.â€

Sorry for your loss... but that stuff only works in Egypt

Very sad for the family to lose their loved one.

Young American students leave the United States to pursue educational opportunities in other countries. Americans live, work, and study elsewhere. Illegal aliens can look for further education or work in other nations, including their own.

Hebrews 11:1

America isn't the only place in the world with opportunities, this is both tragic and totally silly. What point is made here? No one is going to change their mind over this, it's a bad idea and always will be.

This person obviously had serious psychological issues.

Call me cold hearted but I doubt the veracity of this story.

They ARE using it as a football! How sickening!

DREAM Act supporter and Co-Founder of the Tequila Party Movement Shirl Mora James said she’s outraged about the suicide of 18-year-old Joaquin Luna, an illegal immigrant and senior at Juarez Lincoln High School in Mission.

"Maybe it took Joaquin to sacrifice himself, to bring attention to the desperate situation that the Dreamers are in," Mora James said Monday. “These kids are American - they are Americans without status - but they are still Americans!"

Family members said despite Luna’s achievements in school and talent for design, the teen thought he would never reach his goals of becoming an engineer, and providing a better life for his family, since he didn't have a Social Security number to proceed.

"It's unfortunate, but there has been other cases where the kids get desperate (and) they give up,â€

Illegal Immigration Martyr Kills Himself for Dream Act

Illegal immigration is a tough subject. Just ask the liberals. They insist that enforcing laws, and in fact not giving special rights to illegals, is cruel. How dare people suggest law breakers aren't forgiven? How dare people suggest that their hard-earned tax dollars shouldn't support illegals?

The latest pro-amnesty salvo comes in the form of an act of cowardice. An 18-year-old illegal immigrant student was upset that tax payers wouldn't pay for his education. So he killed himself.

His father said "He was doing this to show politicians, to show that something had to be done because there are a lot of kids out there in the same situation."

That dad is right. America must act. Stop giving illegals tax-payer provided benefits. Some of those tax payers are people who followed immigration laws. Stop allowing people to think they can come into the country and receive a bounty of support for their housing, their food, their clothes, and their education ss they thumb their noses at the laws.

A spokesman for the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights said, "I certainly don't want to give you the impression that we're going to use his death as a football or anything like that. We need to honor his memory, and we need to remind other Americans what this young man was about — because that's the kind of people we're talking about."

Right, and lions don't want to give gazelles the impression that the lions want to eat the gazelles. That way the lions can sneak up and pounce.

Of course they don't want "to give you the impression" that they're using this boy's death as a football. That would make them seem heartless. But they are using his death as a football. The claim is that the boy killed himself because the heartless conservatives and heartless republicans won't pass the Dream Act. This boy died because selfish Americans aren't willing to pay more taxes to support more illegals.

This boy could have worked, could have attended a Jr. college, could have earned an education and a better job in his future. He didn't want to work. He wanted it for free.

The boy died because he committed suicide. He was an illegal because his parents entered the country illegally. They claim they all have "legal status" but that they weren't illegal. But the boy was born in Mexico, from parents who weren't citizens, and they never pursued citizenship for the boy. That means he was in the U.S., illegally, for 18 years. This wasn't a mistake his parents made when they were foolish youngsters. This is a mistake they made day after day for 18 years. The boy made a bigger mistake when he chose suicide over hard work.

"Any fool can die for a cause. It takes real courage to live for one." - Unknown.

The cause he died for was continuing and rewarding illegal immigration. He should have lived to better himself and the world around him.
