This story starts back in January of 2005.  This is a posting I made at that time.

This is so typical of not only the Strib reporting (cause we must 'feel' sorry for this poor, poor, 21 yr old 'homeless' man) and then the complicity of some of the school's staff is unreal. They knew he was there and let him stay!! Then, we are to believe this is just a very sad story. WRONG! This is a story of a school with staff who should be fired.

Excerpt:
He slept in the auditorium, showered in the gym, hid food in a locker and may have attended some classes. For at least two weeks, Francisco Serrano took refuge in Apple Valley High School because he had no place to go.

His secret life inside the southeast-metro-area school fell apart this month when a suspicious librarian saw him using a school computer. Now Serrano waits at the Dakota County jail in Hastings for a court appearance Friday on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing on school property.

And More:
The principal sent out an e-mail about the former student early Wednesday afternoon.

He was never a danger to anyone, Degenaar said, though he easily circumvented the school's security measures.

So, I guess that his never being a danger excuses all huh? First of all, I find it difficult to believe a 21 year old man can't find any work whatsoever even if unskilled. Second of all, for the principal to excuse the fact that he was living at the school all this time because "he wasn't a danger" tells me that this principal doesn't have a clue as to the security needed to protect students, but that's ok because well, it's just soooooo saaaaadddddd.

Update: Jan. 21. Well the Strib is at it again and the poor boy was only lurking in the 'shadows' of Apple Valley School all of a sudden. Now the national media has taken hold of this story so the sympathy emoters are going to wail out of the woodwork for this 'poor' young boy! Oh and by the way, he's illegal. Is that a big shock, ummm nope. He was rescued by a man from Mpls who is an advocate for the illegal actions the US has taken in the Middle East. Oh, by the way, this man, Sabri, is up on charges for bribing a Mpls Council official.

Here's the story from today.
(link no longer works) Homeless, he hid at Apple Valley school.

Here's an update on this 'poor young boy'!  HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE - Just Invading the Homes Americans Won't Invade by Mac Johnson

Mac Johnson starts out:

Let’s examine yet another “feel-good” story about a good-hearted person from south of the border, just looking for a better life in our country. Francisco Serrano came to the United States from Mexico on a tourist Visa in 2002 and simply never left after it expired. But we all know that immigration laws are for saps, so all that really matters is that Francisco got here, and then began looking for his place in America.

Then he recounts the Mpls story with all the bleeding heart idiots abetting this illegal alien in his criminal life.  Eventually though the 'poor young boy' who should be around 22 years of age by this time, has to appear before a judge.  Oh yes, lets rely on the judicial system to enforce the law.  Ummm.  Wrong again.

Unfortunately for Francisco, however, infiltrating and leeching off a school is regarded as different from infiltrating and leeching off the entire nation, so a Judge had no choice but to order Francisco deported, or risk being featured on an episode of “The O’Reilly Factor.”

But in typical immigration-crime fighting fashion, the system failed miserably. Francisco the tramp was given a plane ticket and a trip to the airport, and then — surprisingly — he broke the law and snuck off somewhere as soon he was able. Yes, he was simply told to get on the plane and trusted to obey our laws.

You'll have to read Mac Johnson's column for all the in between details, but here's how this 'poor young boy' repays the largesse of clueless idiots in Minneapolis and Apple Valley:

Two weeks ago he almost found it in Boston’s North End. Unfortunately, the person that was already living there was home at the time, and being apparently xenophobic, the selfish citizen did not simply accept Francisco into his home as a beloved new “undocumented family member.” Francisco thus had no choice but to fight for his right to illegal residency at that point. When police arrived, they found Francisco and the home’s legal occupant struggling with one another, and a knife in Francisco’s possession.

No where in this story do I see where Francisco is working a job (that no American will do).  **snark snark** Mac Johnson summarizes a problem which all of us "racists and xenophobes" (if you listen to the illegal alien protesters and rioters) have been echoing for years now:

Lastly, the strange saga of Francisco demonstrates how unrealistic and stereotyped we have allowed our perceptions of illegal aliens to become. The idea that they are all universally good-hearted cheap labor on a Tom Sawyer like adventure to El Norte is ridiculous. Losing control over who enters and how many enter our country, as we have undeniably done, means that those who sneak in will be a decidedly mixed bag. There will be the hard-working and good-hearted, and there will also be flakes and criminals in the lot as well. Yet we have to take all, because we have no choice in the current corrupt system. We cannot even successfully deport the flakes and criminals after they are found committing any but the most serious crimes. 

I listened in part to President Bush's statement yesterday in starting off the Cinco de Mayo event for today and I've personally had enough of his pandering to illegals by calling them "immigrants" along with his berating of American citizens for fighting back to regain their country from "Reconquistas" who think we "gringos" have no say in protecting U.S. borders.   President Bush has a habit of equating illegal aliens with legal immigrants.  To President Bush those of us who are fighting back against Legislator efforts to give amnesty to illegal aliens are vigilantes.  Last year he called the Minutemen vigilantes and for that I will never forgive him.  People often talk about President Bush's intelligence and I personally do believe he's a very intelligent individual but he is completely and totally ignorant on illegal aliens.  Unfortunately the rule of law has lost any legitimacy in the illegal alien debate when it comes to most Legislators and President Bush.
