US citizen children abused for carrying US FLAG!

Do you ever listen to the Mark Edwards/Wake up America radio show? Last night he had a young man named Riley Chase on, about 14 years old. Sweet and articulate. He is the grandson of Jim Chase, a MMP member. His school Roosevelt Middle school in Oceanside, Ca (Vista School Dist) is closed today for Cesar Chevez day and because of all the protests.

Riley saw school officials preping these protestors with their Mexican flags in the school hallways. He and some friends (some hispanic) decided to dress in red, white and blue and carry flags the next day. They were attacked, spit on, flags were taken by latino anchor babies and put in toilets.

The school, though no rules were broken by the kids with Riley, took them to the office for punishment and their flags taken away. The ones with foreign flags just had to sign out to walk the streets. No problemo.

This is REALLY out of hand.

$5.00 per head lettuce is a lie!

"Many people fear the first part of such a response, claiming that prices for fruits and vegetables would skyrocket, fueling inflation. But since all unskilled labor — from Americans and foreigners, in all industries — accounts for such a small part of our economy, perhaps four percent of GDP, we can tighten the labor market without any fear of sparking meaningful inflation. Agricultural economist Philip Martin has pointed out that labor accounts for only about ten percent of the retail price of a head of lettuce, for instance, so even doubling the wages of pickers would have little noticeable effect on consumers."

AND

"According to the University of California, the cost is about 22 cents to grow and harvest a head of lettuce. Of that, about 15 cents goes for farm labor. If we doubled the wages of farm workers, the cost of a head of lettuce would increase by 15 cents - even less if labor-saving machines are justified.....For labor costs to force lettuce to $5 per head, farmers would have to pay field workers $280 an hour".....Glenn Spencer...
