As a democratic Socialist - a critical supporter of " socialist " Bernie Sanders - I can offer the distraught ,immigrant family of Luis Flores this solace: No Republican
will be elected president of the United States in 2016.The mean spirit
of Ayn Rand will not prevail in that election.

Since we are nation of laws corporate criminals have their own
morality: whatever they can get away with. Young " people of color " -
executed on the spot for some petty crime against private property- are
invariably " beneath the law ".
Senator Bernie Sanders of
Vermont for president of this " nation of laws " - which has outlawed
Socialism not only here but also in Cuba ?
"Jose Flores, an undocumented immigrant"
ILLEGAL immigrant. And
look how emboldened, even brazen they have become, publicly confronting
a politician, because the left has told them in no uncertain terms that
it is okay to enter the US illegally. The more the merrier.
As a matter of fact too many " on the left " have forgotten the
vision of Marx-Engels in their still inspiring, still relevant Communist
Manifesto : the workers of the world have no country ".
This means that Socialism will create a New World with no political boundaries. All this was old stuff a hundred years ago.
The adult Luis Flores will simply find himself a happier " citizen of the world ".
The ONE PERCENT American plutocracy will be just a bad memory in the history of civilization.
