www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/may/26/siccing-barney-fife-on-illegal-immigrants/Thomasson indicates that the rule of law is not important in this piece of sh*t, oh I mean work. I remember when I was taking a business law course, the teacher gave an example of a woman getting stopped for speeding. She said that there was a bee in the car, the baby had dropped his sippy cup, and the older children were fighting. We were instructed to determine the facts relevant to the situation. The only applicable facts were that the speed limit was 45 mph, and the driver was exceeding the speed limit. Nothing else mattered. The relevant facts here are also simple. To be a legal resident, certain conditions are required. This girl did not meet the requirements. End of story. The people who share Thomasson's attitude have as little respect for our country as those who defy our laws.

This is the girl's reaction to the story: Copied from: www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/colotl-reacts-to-immigration-debate-052410COBB COUNTY, Ga. - The immigration and education debate made headlines in Georgia with the case of Jessica Colotl. The Kennesaw State Student is an illegal immigrant and was arrested for driving without a license on campus. Colotl was given a deferment instead of being deported. The case sparked controversy and demonstrations. "I'm still recovering emotionally," said Colotl. The 21-year-old student has been in a whirlwind of activity since she was arrested for driving without a license at Kennesaw State University. Now, Colotl is at the center of a legal move against the Board of Regents. "As a student, I just feel hurt to a certain extent because I think everyone deserves equal opportunity to an education," Colotl said. Part of the big controversy centers around the fact that Colotl was paying in-state tuition, which is cheaper but not allowed for illegal immigrants. Colotl said federal immigration officials gave her a one year deferment to finish her schooling at KSU, but she will now pay out-of-state tuition. "I was given a work permit which is going to allow me to work legally," Colotl said. The 21-year-old said she knows public sentiment is against her. The latest Rasmussen Poll says 55 percent of Georgians would favor a law like Arizona in the state. When asked about the poll results Colotl said, "That would be a tough law for here, because there's a large percent of a Latino community here in Georgia who are in the state legally. We would have to ask them to because I believe that the law degrades mostly Latinos."
