That’s a good question RM, what is happening to our country?
Illegal immigrants and Latino / Hispanic organizations will argue all day long about giving everyone a “fair chance”, but when they get preferential treatment over a legal foreign citizen who obeyed all of our laws, they’re as quiet as a mouse. It is ABSURD as your point out, and definitely not fair.

I am in total agreement with the administrator regarding the so-called DREAM ACT. The dream act is in reality a NIGHTMARE waiting to happen. Giving illegal aliens preferential treatment at the expense of foreign citizens who worked hard to become good American citizens is ABSURD. In fact, I OPPOSE giving ANY sort of preferential treatment to these invaders at the expense of AMERICANS who need assistance. My God, what is happening to our country?!

Amy, thanks for your comments. You wrote the above comments from Region 19 Education Service Center serving El Paso and Hudspeth Counties in Texas, according to your IP address. Based on your grammar, I truly hope you are a student and not a teacher. It’s ironic that those two counties have one of the worst illegal immigration problems in U.S., but you want to give nearly all of them amnesty. Maybe you are an illegal immigrant going to an American school paid for by American tax payers?

Your argument is the same old tired liberal argument, “It’s for the children.” The unfortunate truth to the DREAM Act is that it’s not just for 16 - 18 year olds, it’s for any illegal alien up to the age of 30 that was here before they were 16. How do we prove they illegally crossed the border before they were 16? We can’t. So there will be a huge abuse of the DREAM Act, just like a huge abuse of our open borders, and it will give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants under the age of 30. Then those people will sponsor their families which will cause millions of more illegal immigrants, no matter the crime they committed that we can’t prove, to become legal citizens. (It also doesn’t include a DNA test like France is trying to do, so we won’t even be able to prove that they’re family!)

It also gives federal grants and loans to illegal immigrants for education, which our legal foreign citizens can’t even get. Why should illegal aliens get better treatment than foreign citizens who followed the law to come to this great country?

I think that the Dream Act should happen because they are many teenagers out theire that are trying to be a better person and actually be somebody. Not all illegal imigrants are the same you should put yourself in theire shoe’s. SAy YES TO THE DREAM ACT gIVE those teenagers a chance they deserve it only GOD should judge not people.

Here is a sample letter to email to all 100 Senators.

“Please do not vote for the DREAM Act amnesty (S. 2205) that Assistant Majority Leader Durbin introduced as a stand-alone measure on October 18. This amnesty will entice millions more illegal aliens to risk their lives to try to come to the United States and take advantage of this ongoing amnesty.

The DREAM Act is not a small amnesty for a select group of individuals. In fact, it allows illegal “teens” (i.e., anyone under 30) to petition for their parents, leading eventually to their aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins, to come to the United States.

The big argument for this amnesty is that it is for teenagers who are here illegally because their parents broke the law. Even with the new “less-than-30? age requirement, this amnesty will apply to more than just teens (Sen. Durbin has included “humanitarian” and “family unity” exceptions to the age limit). Nonetheless, the argument is that the teenagers should not be punished for the crimes of their parents.

But as soon as DREAM amnesty citizens are over 21, they can bring in their parents, who broke the law to get them into the country in the first place, back into the U.S. (or to keep them here legally after years of avoiding deportation). The chief criminals will be rewarded after all. And due to chain migration, the amnestied “teens” can petition for their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents to get permanent U.S. residency as well.

This a back-door amnesty for the parents of these illegal “teens,” and a chain migration nightmare for the country. You have shown in the past that you have a callous disregard for the welfare of everyday Americans. You can change this by opposing the DREAM Act!”
