[Mishmash] FOX News Video: Hero Professor

[Ingrid & Eric Holzman]

Hugh,

I haven't heard that this individual's parents are here illegally.  They own 
a dry-cleaning business.  I believe that in order for them to have that, 
they cannot be illegal.  I don't disagree that we need to do something about 
the undocumented individuals in our country, but let's not point the finger 
and say that all foreigners cause the heinous crimes such as that which 
happened at Virginia Tech.

The boys who shot up Columbine were born & raised here in America.  The 
unibomber is American.  The Oklahoma City bombers...American.  It's not just 
undocumented non-citizens who wreak havoc upon our nation.  When we look at 
the bottom line, these are individuals who are deeply disturbed.  Regardless 
of where they were born or if they are legal or not, it was a mental health 
issue in all of the heinous crimes I mentioned.

Ingrid
