Family says undocumented student killed himself over fears he'd never go to college – In America - CNN.com Blogs

Rile people up?

Get real.

Look they are claiming that this young man killed himself over college.

He was in Texas, where they WILL allow illegals to attend college, AND they even get in-state tutition rates.

So the whole "killed himself because he couldn't get to college" line is bull.

I must wonder WHY the family saw "nothing wrong" when this young man got dressed up and walked around the house telling everyone "goodbye" before killing himself.

Their lack of response is what led to this tragedy, but in order to deflect attention from their lack of response to a cry for help, they instead are trying to gain from this, and that to me is disgusting.

If you want people to read and listen to your opinions wouldn't it make sense to approach them in a manner that won't anger them right off the bat?

The constant "sob story" approach to stories about the illegals angers me.

So occasionally it is reflected in my comments.

The thing that I wonder about, is WHO is putting forward to the young people in today's world that suicide is a viable solution to their problems?

We have seen an increase in this concerning many issues, being illegal, being gay, being bullied, somebody posting something "mean" on a blog or facebook, etc etc etc.

What next? I'm gonna kill myself because there is no peace in the middle-east? or I'm gonna kill myself because they don't have the app I want on my iPhone for free?

Taking a permanent step to attempt to solve a short-term problem should be what is under discussion, yet the article attached to this seed simply does the whole "poor illegal immigrants" story line and actually SKIPS the bigger issue.

Fernando. You are wasting your time. Kazutam clearly knows what troubled this boy more than his family. It would never enter his mind that there would be real and tragic impacts upon real people; people who are innocent of any crime or wrongdoing from the draconian anti-immigration laws passed by the bigots in Arizona, Alabama and elsewhere. People like that are more bothered by the idea that some poor Mexican might actually make a life her for himself and his family than they would be angered or upset by a tragedy like this. He probably supports Herman Cain's call to put up a fence that would send fatal electric shocks through anyone who would dare to try to enter this country without permission.

from the draconian anti-immigration laws passed by the bigots

Once again your own PRO-illegal bigotry has tripped you up.

The laws being passed in these states are NOT "anti-immigration" laws, they are specifically anti-ILLEGAL immigration laws.

Pro-illegal bigotry? You not only make up facts, you make up non-sensical phrases like this.

paddy

So are you denying that you support illegal immigration?

And accuse everyone who opposes it of bigotry?

patty;

If you are so involved with calling Americans bigots then you must have a vert narrow view of the world. When you can come back and tell us you have opened your house to the illegal crowd for allturistic reasons then maybe I would listen. But from the way you go on it's more likely you exploit them for your gain. We don't need more American haters here.

If they do need need more American Haters here, why are you here? People like you, with your ignorant view of what really makes this country different from others are the ones who truly hate this nation and what it stands for.

Kaz: I do not support illegal immigration. I oppose the hateful, bigoted, stupid suggestions from people like you that the only solution is to turn this nation and, in particular, the border states, into police states to round up the millions of undocumented aliens and deport them. The vast majority of those here without permission live quiet, law abiding lives, like this kid whose death you consider insignificant. They work, pay taxes and generally contribute to the societies they live in. Many have been here for decades and have children and grandchildren who are citizens. I support the approach that most Americans support, even Newt. The focusing of enforcement efforts on criminal aliens and allowing the others to earn the right to stay here by coming out of the shadows, registering and being permitted to stay and work provided they remain law abiding. I know that you would rather see them leave, either uypright or in a box.

Kaz: I do not support illegal immigration.

You sure could have fooled me, and many others.

I oppose the hateful, bigoted, stupid suggestions from people like you

Of course since you constantly seem to post rhetoric and insults like that it's no wonder.

You and the others who think like you believe than anyone who does not support your round em all up and send them home attitude support illegal immigration. Of course, the majority of the nation who agree with me do not support illegal immigration. They simply reject the small minded solutions offered by the right. I do not post rhetoric or insults. Calling hateful comment hateful is not an insult. Discounting the death of a teenager as you and your fellow travelers have done here is hateful.

Discounting the death of a teenager as you and your fellow travelers have done here is hateful.

I don't consider myself as "discounting" his death, just the reasons that his family WHO SAT AND WATCHED have put forward for it.

Like I said to start Boo Freaking Hoo!!!

So I'm supposed to fall down to the floor and wail and gnash my teeth over this person killing themselves? There's plenty of folks like yourself more than willing to do that for this law breaker.

Sorry I would much rather save my compassion for folks who are citizens or who emigrated here LEGALLY, rather than worry about a law-breaker being sad that they have no future because they broke the law.

I would trade him as a citizen for you any day of the week. The regrettable accident that caused you to be born inside this nation's borders does not change the fact that you are lousy human being for taking joy in this child's death, regardless of the reason for him doing so.

I would trade him as a citizen for you any day of the week.

Tells me all I need to know about you now doesn't it?

you are lousy human being for taking joy in this child's death

Everybody gotta die of something at sometime.

The sooner you grasp this truth, the better off you'll be.

Now the fact that this young man took his life because someone wouldn't give him something that his parents screwed him out of is NOT my problem.

It tells you that I value a person based on something other than where their mother happened to squeeze them out. Your character has been on display here and it is clear that there is much lacking in that regard.

It tells you that I value a person based on something other than where their mother happened to squeeze them out.

So just WHAT is it that you "value" about this person that you never met?

I value that he was not a bigot and did not revel in the death of another human being. That makes him a more valuable person than one who spouts bigotry orwho would write, "Boo freaking hoo" in response to a story of the death of a young man.

I value that he was not a bigot and did not revel in the death of another human being.

In other words you are making ASSUMPTIONS because you want to argue with me.

You have NO idea if the person in question was a bigot or not.

Just as you have NO idea that he never reveled in the death of another.

You are simply being a typical bleeding heart liberal.

YOU revel in the death of a young man. You spout bigoted nonsense. You are who I was referring to. I make no assumptions. I have read your comments for months.

YOU revel in the death of a young man.

And you have absolutely NO idea of what me "reveling" looks like.

Continue to get yourself upset over someone taking their own life that you have never met. While your at it why don't you cry about all of the folks who die in accidents daily thru no fault of their own?

Maybe if you spend your time mourning all of these folks you have never met who die on a daily basis, then you wouldn't have time to come on here and spout YOUR bigoted nonsense.

You live a world of doublespeak. Opposition to bigotry become bigotry in your perverted world. I do not mourn this young man, I hate that there are those who, because his parents brought him across a border when he was child without permission, do not think his death matters.

do not think his death matters.

I'm sure it matters to his family, or it should and THEY should be the ones being "guilt-tripped" over it, NOT as this article(and his brother) attempt to do and "guilt-trip" the citizens of this country because his PARENTS broke the law.

You live a world of doublespeak

Since you are an expert speaker of it and I read your comments(and the comments of those that think as you do) I have no way of escaping that world.
