However they changed the time to accommodate people that are in this country illegally, they have broken our federal laws. The school changing the time was bending over backwards so criminals, yes criminals don't have miss the event. How can you not understand this?  LOL, yes I do understand context, not too sure you do though. The graduation of 3-4 year old kids had nothing to do with enforcing the law, how did you come to this conclusion? There was nothing in the story suggesting that. The story said the time was changed because some of the parents did not have government IDs and could not legally enter the building, still no mention of the possibilities of deportation in the story. The Elian Gonzalez story was not about illegal presence in the US, it was about political asylum and who had the right/authority to request asylum for Elian Gonzalez. The highest court to hear the case(the SCotUS would not hear it) ruled that only his father had that authority. Elian was reunited with his natural father in Cuba, he was NOT deported. Thus Apples/oranges. BTW, I'm sure you consider me on the "right", however I was for the boy to go home to his Dad from day one. I think that the immigration laws can be enforced on a case by case basis and in the end, the cost for doing so would be less than what the illegals are costing us now. The kicker is, the boarder has to be secured before any headway can be made. This whole situation is multi leveled and very complex. Let's secure the boarders then work on real immigration reform.</blockquote>
