You have no idea of what you are saying…. Dream act is not for just any illegal immigrant or “criminals”. The dream act is for students who came to the US when they were 15 years old and countinued school. Ignorant!!!

Those students who showed outstanding moral character would have the ability to get permanent conditional residency in the United States.

It’s really unbelievable the way Americans think. It’s a shame that people now and days think that way. Immigrants are not criminals. Wanting an education does not make a person a criminal. Sure they came to the US illegally but what the hell everybody did too at one point or did you forget that the first people here were the Indians. That have to pass this Act may students without documentation are having a really hard time keeping up with their studies. People that oppose this act should really try to live like us immigrants do. See how they like not being able to get a job, get scholarships for schools have the government help you out with some money it’s a pain. Seriously Americans have to get their act straight and stop with all the racial acts and injustice.

What is going on? America has been segregating since the beginning: salem witch trials, civil rights movement, slavery, woman sufferage, and this- illegal immigration especially geared towards Hispanics always trying to label them as Mexicans.
I have a friend that graduated on top of her class had a full ride to college but cant go to a University because she is illegal. She has been here in the US since she was two. Now is that fair? I dont think so. There are others that have the chance to go to college and waste it on frat parties and drinking not caring whatsoever.
Going to school is an honor you should value!!

Oh and about the “freeloader” thing. Did you know that there are illegal immigrants who fully paid for homes and cars and they pay taxes for those and they also have small businesses from which they pay taxes for too. They can’t receive Tax returns like you do so all they do is give, but can’t rake back. You’re the ones who are freeloading on them. Your kids are getting money they don’t deserve. Money that other kids can use to attend college. Kids who can actually contribute to society. Know what you’re talking about before talking trash.

People bring their families to this country so that they can have a better future. Yes, they did enter this country illegally, but one would do anything for their kids. We are no one to judge. They are not criminals. If someone is brought here at the age of 5, but and live here their entire lives being Americans but when it’s time to apply to colleges they realize they won’t get to continue into college because of their status is heart breaking. They grow up with their friends and will watch them go off to college while they are forced to work in a low paying job to support their families. We need to break this cycle! There are brilliant minds among those kids. They can hold the keys to a better future for all of us, but thy are blocked and told no. They are Americans. This country for many of them is the only place they know. It’s disgusting to hear ignorant people speak about our youth this way. Put yourselves in their shoes. Ask yourself, what would you do for your own kids. Wouldn’t you do your best to give your children a better future? Come on America! It’s all about moving forward, so if we live in the most powerful country in the world then why aren’t we doing this injustice to ourselves. Yes ourselves because we are all one, and our youth is our future. Vote DREAM, because voting DREAM is voting for security in your own future. We used to accept everyone with open arms, so why what happened now? Something to think about.

Thank you very much, a lot of “Americans” are not taking advantage of their free education, while us “criminals”, have to work to pay for school and yes we also PAY TAXES. I honestly do not know whether to feel mad or sad when fellow classmates throw away all the opportunities handed down to them.
Oh and Craigmm I tutor students who can not write properly as yourself, and probably your kids, who most likely, are spending your money in other things besides their education.
For those, who say we take away “your” jobs, I would gladly give you my job, in order for me to get a free a education and put all the necessary time, that my job is taking away, don’t get me wrong, I still have really good grades, better than what any of your lazy kids are getting.

Wow you just stated everything i wanted to say…I understand where you’re coming from since i am in the same situation. . .people are so ignorant if they only knew, You seem very educated not like some people who act like they know what they’re talking about. I laugh at them because they think they are better than us. The people who are against the Act are just afraid of change but they don’t realize its Great Change!

What some of the uneducated mass choose to ignore is that once immigrants gain their citizenship, they will be responsible for their lives. For example, a favorite republican argument is that giving citizenship will cost tax payer money. Weird. I thought citizens pay taxes. So that is not a problem, since immigrants will easily boost the economy, instead of leeching it. Also, people spend thousands of dollars to help 3rd world people (a great cause btw), and yet they ignore those that suffer in their own nackyard. We might aa well cross out “under God” if we’re not gonna show it.

For your information,non-citizens do not qualify for financial aid. Secondly, this is their native homeland that your rapist, thieving ancestors stole from their ancestors. This bill is to help those that are already here….get informed.
