citizenship

Kids these days know way too much stuff and are so opinionated. Today while hearing about all the illegal immigration hubub-aloo....our oldest asked why these people are here illegally.
Then it went to "deport them"
then on to "arrest them, they are law breakers throw them all in jail"

Kids really do ask some pretty intelligent questions, and come up with some really good views and ideas on society.
 I am of the  belief that our world would be a much better place if  adults were to stand aside and let kids under 10 run it. 

Our conversation went to the fact that we know four people who came here from Italy, Jamaica, and Russia. All have successfully completed citizenship classes and were sworn in as U.S Citizens.  They are not on welfare, they learned our language, got jobs legally,  college graduates, and are productive citizens in this country. They did it all the right way, not the wrong way.

The little chat ended with "if our friends can do it, then why not everyone else" ?  hmmm  another question that makes me think.
