Don't the kids in school realize that these people have broken the law and that the U.S. just ends up rewarding them for it? Can they differentiate between ignoring laws for humanitarian reasons and ignoring the law period? Does that send a message that laws are made to be broken and cause a complete disrespect for authority and disregard for suffering any consequences for breaking the law?

Orange evil: I do respect the law. I was eluding to the fact that many of our young people have no regard for authority nor many laws. I've noticed it has worsened in the last few years since many laws have been ignored by our government as well.

I think children are learning to ignore the law from a multitude of sources. Illegal immigration is a very minor source.

I don't think that kids even think about that unless their parents are into it and explain it to them... they probably don't know anything ABOUT American law since the school doesn't see fit to teach them anything, because some part of our Christen history might be OFFENSIVE to someone.. Which is crap. I think the government is saying that a whole bunch of criminal, third world alien leaches, have more rights to our money and freedom then we do.
If I was to go and try to get a job without a social security number I wouldn't get it. If I was to go and try to get welfare and I didn't have a social security number I wouldn't get it. If I had a criminal record and had pot in my car I would get arrested.
but if I couldn't speak English, was from a different country, and was here illegally, I would probably go free, or if they did arrest me I could say they were being raciest and get free.
One more thing... Kids in public school aren't taught anything. They are dumbed down every day for 16-18 years...
they are taught that teen age girls should have a boyfriend when they are 13 and dress and act like Britney Spears.
Guys should be perverse and not think about anything but sex.
It's "cool" not to care about your grades, act like an idiot, and be as loud as you possibly can.
In the end there about 1 in 15 that turn out to be normal humans.
Think about how smart you had to be back in The 1800.
I was reading an article about how an 8th grade reading writing and math test was so hard that college professors got most of the answers wrong. Those kids that took them didn't spend the whole year studying just the questions that were going to be on the test either.
Anyway I'm blabbing about something why off your question so I'll shut up now..:)

I think we should be teaching our children to be critical thinkers and support laws that reflect right and wrong. I'm never going to tell my kid to follow the law "just 'cause it's the law." If people never challenged the law, the world would be much a different place, and not in a good way. While children need to learn discipline, right and wrong should take precedence. I'll know I've done my job when my kid does what's right and not just what's legal.
I think ignoring the law to allow illegal Mexican immigrants into the United States *is* humanitarian. They're not suffering as much as starving kids in Ethiopia, but let's be frank: Mexico is a piece of crap.
Also, if illegal immigration is just a matter of not following the law, then why don't we change the law? I suspect you don't care all that much about the law - you're just taking the intellectually dishonest way out of the argument. Rather than addressing the advantages and disadvantages of illegal immigration, you're resorting to discussing its legality. Yeah, we know it's illegal. Some people, people like me, don't think it should be. So let's have a real talk about immigration rather than simply stating the fact that illegal immigration is--gasp!--illegal.
*Edit: The law should reflect right and wrong. Kids should be taught right and wrong. If kids know right and wrong, then following the law should be no problem if the laws reflect right and wrong. That's all I'm saying.

They are teaching our kids that immigrants have the same right to follow the American Dream as our fathers did when they first arrived here. That people aren't judged by nationality, religion, language etc, but for the individual actions. They are teaching our kids that the law most be consonant with the reality and that you can't punish a person who's trying to feed his/her family. Is showing the same thing our father wrote hundreds pf years ago "From the people to the people ...that all men born and were created free."
By the way, in this country, Who isn't an immigrant descendant any ways?

No. Most children don't have a clue about immigration nor the laws being broken. The few that have an opinion are reflecting what they have heard their parents say because the kids themselves only think about kid things, not adult things and certainly not about immigration laws.

Not really, parents are the number one teacher, no outside influence can beat good parenting.
