Even If You Favor Amnesty For Some Illegal Teens, This DREAM Act Must Be Stopped

yes, i’d also like to deport legal citizens like the ones
in the us congress.

I’m for amnesty for some illegal aliens.... how about we give em a raffle ticket if they turn in at least 10 other illegals?

NumbersUSA is a good defender of our borders and is anti-amnesty. If you have a few bucks left over from your pay checks, send them some $ to carry on the fight against DREAM and all the other open borders efforts.

Any kind of amnesty, all of our politicians’ turning their heads the other way regarding illegal “immigration” only exacerbates the problems many of the illegals are trying to escape.

Imagine if all of those illegal kids were told they can’t go to college here, and they had to go back to Mexico for college. Mexico DOES have good universities, comparable to our state universities. Once they get educated in Mexico, wouldn’t they be staying there and helping to grow the Mexican economy? Wouldn’t that help to reduce the incentive for illegal immigration in the first place?

Effective border control and harsh penalties for anyone hiring/renting to illegals, would help to reduce the incentive, as well. That also puts more pressure on Mexico to institute reforms to address its problems.

Our politicians, instead, embrace human misery—human trafficking, slave labor—all for political power. They don’t care about people at all.

At some point we need to give these people a chance to legalize themselves. They were brought here when they were young and had no choice in the matter. One day they wake up and can’t get a social security number, a drivers license, a job, or college. Guess what....gang numbers increase. I would be in favor of a modified version of the act that requires military service as the only means to legalization.

This has been my position since the first time I heard of the DREAM Act. The idea that two years of college should be sufficient is absurd. Anyone can do that ... and the lefty professoriat will be only too happy to pass kids who dont even come to class just to get them citizenship.

I say make it three years of military service, with the only exception to those who cant pass the physical. They can do some other service for three years. Not college, which is a complete joke.

Totally agree. If they’ve been here since they were kids and serve in the U.S. military we should allow them to become permanent residents.
