Comments on: DREAM supporters stung by Hagan’s vote https://www.ibiblio.org/carrborocitizen/main/2010/12/23/dream-supporters-stung-by-hagan%e2%80%99s-vote/ Carrboro's Newspaper 2007 - 2012 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 16:00:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Ben Foster https://www.ibiblio.org/carrborocitizen/main/2010/12/23/dream-supporters-stung-by-hagan%e2%80%99s-vote/comment-page-1/#comment-107804 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 16:00:55 +0000 http://www.carrborocitizen.com/main/?p=14851#comment-107804 @M L Romero and anyone who supported passage of the Dream Act:

Are you aware that on Page 22 of HR5281 (The Dream Act) it states that the Attorney General shall “stay the removal” of all undocumented children who:

1. Are at least 12 years old.
2. Have been living in the USA for at least 5 years.
3. Are enrolled full-time in primary or secondary school.

This means that if the Attorney General plans to stay the removal of all these undocumented primary and secondary school children, he certainly has no plans to attempt to deport any of these kids’ parents who DID deliberately enter our country illegally.

This means that practically the entire population of 12 to 30 million undocumented people would be allowed to remain in the USA, free from fear of deportation, once this bill was signed into law.

If the DREAM Act had been approved there will be 2 million less American kids going to college over the next several years because they wanted to give those slots to illegal aliens.

Why do democrats hate American kids so much?

Also DREAM would have resulted in 2 to 4 MILLION illegal aliens getting 10-year work permits immediately to compete against 22 million unemployed Americans.

Democrats have not only put illegal aliens ahead of U.S. citizens but now they are actually punishing citizens so they can reward illegal alien criminals.

Kay Hagan that the DREAM Act shouldn’t be a stand-alone bill. I think it should because of the circumstances in which these kids ended up in this country. I believe that people that voluntarily and consciously broke the law and chose to come to this country illegally should be deported and apply for citizenship and wait in line just like everyone else. Do it legally. The point mostly everyone seems to be missing is that these young kids didn’t do that. They were brought here by their parents, were allowed to go to school, they have lived here most of their lives, a lot of them speak both English and Spanish, some don’t even speak Spanish. If you ever met one, you wouldn’t even know he/she is illegal unless you. They are Americanized in every way. I believe the DREAM Act should be for them alone and they shouldn’t be able to petition for family members. The adults who broke the law should be deported.

Having served 21 years in the USAF, I have one objection to one of the requirements leading to citizenship. However, if Iwere in a position to vote for the bill as proposed, I would vote Yes. The reservation I have is the option of joining the military as a path to citizenship. Why? There is no draft. We have a voluntary military force. No one in our society is required to be subject to military service. I am sure that those individuals who are documented are not required to serve in the military as a prerequisite to citizenship. Why should these young and young adults de-facto citizens not be treated like any other citizen.
