Most Popular Change Type Size Young immigrants rally to support legislation on college assistance

About 30 local high school students gathered on the state Capitol lawn Sunday and rallied for a shot at an affordable education.

The students are pushing Congress for approval of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM Act, which would let students who entered the country illegally as children to legalize their immigration status and qualify for in-state tuition and financial aid.

Lawmakers from California and Florida recently reintroduced the DREAM Act in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. advertisement




"We want to let the community know . . . we need their support," said Marina, an 18-year-old senior at Carl Hayden Community High School. "It's something wonderful for students. If they want us to integrate into society, we need this opportunity. It's for students who care about their education and want to contribute to their country."

Marina has lived in the United States since she was 7.

"We know no other country," she said.

Students asked that their last names not be used because of their immigration status.

Some of the students pushing for approval of the federal, bipartisan measure are members of Carl Hayden's award-winning robotics program, which this weekend won the Arizona Regional Chairman's Award for the third time. Those inner-city students have garnered national attention for their repeat victories at national competitions, even over prestigious colleges such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

"If given the opportunity, these students are tomorrow's scientists, engineers and business leaders," Marina said. "They need the opportunity."

CADENA, a grass-roots community organization, is leading a campaign to promote the DREAM Act because it says the act will remove the obstacles in the way of students' success.

As it now stands, the Arizona Board of Regents gave universities permission to implement Proposition 300, a voter-approved initiative that prevents undocumented residents from getting in-state tuition.

Students who want in-state tuition but don't apply for federal financial aid must present an Arizona driver's license issued after 1996, a passport or a birth certificate.

Out-of-state tuition costs about three times more than what Arizona residents pay.

Breaking: Warming On Jupiter, Mars, Pluto, Neptune's Moon & Earth Linked to Increased Solar Activity, Scientists Say
Warming On Jupiter, Mars, Pluto, Neptune's Moon & Earth Linked to Increased Solar Activity, Scientists Say
By Lorne Gunter, National Post
Mars's ice caps are melting, and Jupiter is developing a second giant red spot, an enormous hurricane-like storm.
The existing Great Red Spot is 300 years old and twice the size of Earth. The new storm -- Red Spot Jr. -- is thought to be the result of a sudden warming on our solar system's largest planet. Dr. Imke de Pater of Berkeley University says some parts of Jupiter are now as much as six degrees Celsius warmer than just a few years ago.
Neptune's moon, Triton, studied in 1989 after the unmanned Voyageur probe flew past, seems to have heated up significantly since....canadafreepress.com

If infact that "survival of the fittest" is true, then what does it mean to be fittest and why are they fittest? are they fittest because they survived or did the survive because they were fittest? and please do not cling to the darwinsm claim of natural selection which ultimately does continue to call into the category of tautomology. because he infact just changed his words with the same underkying belief.

My mother has emotional problems since childhood, she tried to be a good mother, but she is critical, bitter, fault finding, lies, pits my siblings against eachother, brings up stuff from our past and holds us in hock for favors she has done us in the past. Nothing a mother would not do for her kids.She sends us letters telling us how bad we are, how we let her down, and how rotten we are and is not going to leave anything to us in her will, we dont want anything, and we told her this. we only wanted her love and approval, we never got it. She brings me to tears with her hurtful, unforgiving critical ways, I try to be a good daughter and forgive and forget, but Im 48 now, & she is still slamming me & hurting me emotionally, making me feel im less than a person, She has eroded my self esteem, She has no realtionship with anyone cause of her actions I dont think God wants me to be a doormat for abuse, Ive suffered my whole life, I pray for her, what would God want me to do ?
