What do I tell my kid who is in sixth grade and is claiming the day Trump was elected was such a bad day even God is depressed and made it rain all day? I picked him up after school and he said it was a very sad day in school, kids were crying worried about when their parents were going to be deported. What if they go to school and come back home and their parents have been sent to Mexico? I know Americans don't have this fear, and I don't support a leaking border where people come and just stay, but these kids are innocent. Yeah yeah yeah, you'll want to blame Obama, but sixth graders were born under Bush, a Republican, and for all his talk, he didn't do squat to seal the border. I don't know what is fair, but if Trump really carries through his promise of sending the illegals back, it is going to get messy.
I talked to Wife after school, she was in a conference in San Antonio but she called her office, and she was told a lot of kids were out today. They were calling parents wondering what was going on, and according to Wife, the excuse from the parents was "well, if they are going to start sending us back, we don't want to risk our families being broken up. We are keeping our kids close by." Both these scenarios are interesting, but one can say it is simple paranoia, so I should probably shut up.
This third scenario was real, as far as I can tell, I read it on FB and saw pictures. According to a girl we know who goes to Tx. State, there was a gathering of white students and they were waving signs and being aggressive towards Hispanic students with "Time to head back to Mexico." and other uplifting moronic crap. This is where it can get dangerous, when ignorant people take the message of it's okay to show hatred like Trump has. If the President can stand up and declare that Mexicans got to go now, it is not impossible to then have the testosterone fueled low IQ brethren to then turn around and decide they can help hurry his message along.
I know I'm being dramatic, it was just a couple college kids expressing their beliefs and celebrating the win by their guy into the White House. Come on it's just "boys being boys." This might be something to fear when we are told over and over it's nothing to get excited about, they are just blowing off steam. Who is going to tell these packs of animals not to take the law into their own hands? Little militias have already been forming under Obama working along the Mexican border to keep Mexicans out. It sounds like a good idea, but I just feel it could very easily turn from keeping Mexican Nationals out to attacking anyone who doesn't look white. We shall see how this plays out.
