Immigration-reform minded Americans need to ensure that this book
gets on the shelves of every public, and school, library in America.
Ditto having it offered by Scholastic and other book clubs for kids!
The minds of the anchor babies -- such as those who, as per a Los
Angeles Daily News reporter covering Maywood I, unprovokedly called her
"white *****" and said even worse things to her, or those middle school
anchor babies in Norwalk, California who -- took down the U.S. flag at
their school and replaced it with the flag of Mexico -- are certainly
TRULY being "poisoned," to use the term of the illegal immigration
supporter quoted below. It's about time that the kids of U.S. citizens
were told the truth about what their futures hold unless they continue
the struggle to restore justice and the Rule of Law in America.
Sounds like it'd make a TERRIFIC Christmas or birthday gift, as well!

NEW YORK -- Unhappy with the children's books on the market, a Brooklyn
criminal court judge has written a picture book that uses a
horticultural metaphor to deplore the perils of unchecked immigration.
In "The Hot House Flowers," self-published by Judge John H. Wilson, an
envious dandelion releases her seeds into a hothouse, where they grow
and eventually use up so much water and food that there's none left for
the plants that were already there.
In the end, the master of the hothouse _ clearly standing for God _
removes the dandelions, and when the original dandelion tries to send
more seeds in, the hothouse flowers trample the seeds so they can't grow.
"I didn't like a lot of the children's literature that I've seen,"
Wilson said Monday. "I really wanted to have something that discusses
values that I think parents should want to convey to their children."
An advocate for immigrants called the book troubling, while a spokesman
for the Minuteman Project, a volunteer border patrol group, praised it.
"I think it's irresponsible for someone to write a children's book like
this _ one that poisons the minds of impressionable young readers with
the idea that immigrants are to blame for the world's ills," said Norman
Eng, a spokesman for the New York Immigration Coalition. "Children are
not in a position to see through the bias conveyed in this story."
But Tim Bueler, a spokesman for the Minuteman Project, said the book
"gives a great insight to children and families on the issue of illegal
immigration."
Wilson, a Conservative Party member who was originally elected as a
civil court judge in the Bronx in 2004, said his own 4-year-old son
likes the book.
"He's getting the idea of the story, that you have to defend your home,
you have to defend your country," Wilson said.
