Why is the DREAM Act logical?

Question

I know it is a loaded question, but please read this before you reply.

OK, I know I am going to get slammed by the xenophobes on here but... I am a citizen who thinks the DREAM Act is perfectly logical. I actually live in Los Angeles, and know many undocumented students. Get this... in almost all cases THEY DID NOT CHOOSE TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES because they were to young. They grew up here, learned English, forged lasting connections to the United States, know little of their country of origin and became practically Americans. Why should we punish the children for the crimes of their parents?

Now those children, after they graduate from high school, want to go to college and/or join the military. In almost all cases, their loyalty should not be questioned. Believe me. They grew up here and do love this country, despite the many reasons to disagree with its domestic and foreign policies.

To me, that is logical.

Due to the fact that they are not here legally, they do not qualify for welfare or food stamps etc.

And because they have darker skin, or do not have as much money as you, they are not "scum of the earth."

Thank God the Democrats control Congress; we'll see this Act passing soon yet!

- Extremely proud to be friends with the "anchor babies."

Answer 1

OK, so why do my tax dollars have to go pay for their education, healthcare and food stamps?? I am married with no children and we pay taxes just like we are still single. And what happens to their illegal parents as they grow older and probably don't have much savings to live off? Put them on taxpayers' burden again?

Immigration laws in this country is whacked They allow every scum of the Earth to come here and take advantage. Hospitals in NYC are nearly bankrupted because of the burden of taking care of illegals who have no insurance or the money to pay for their services. Schools are overcrowded, is this all fair to the citizens of this country. Is this fair to the immigrants who wait 10 - 15 years through proper channels to come to this country.

Think about this first you side with your anchor baby friends.

Answer 2

"he Dream Act is quite selective in nature, so selective it fairly is not amnesty." -decrease the age from 35 to 22 and additionally you have have been given a factor. " a newborn introduced into the U.S. under the age of 13 is held wihtout fault, and has commited no crime." -Are that 13 or 14 year, previous's mothers and dads, who DID dedicate against the regulation going to be allowed to stay? I recommend their newborn is a minor... -you are able to look on the scholars for my section, the dream act is blanket amnesty and an exceptionally undesirable theory. 20 million illegals in the U. S. through fact the final amnesty, which replaced into an entire failure at lowering the numbers of illegals.

Answer 3

It doesn't take a xenophobe to say that people too poor to pay the $10,000 per year per child it costs to educate a child K-12 in California have already taken quite enough education funds from our children and should not be able to obtain in state tuition or government funding when there is not enough to go around for all American children.

In addition, with Mexico refusing to pay for universal education for its poor, that is a huge reason they come here illegally. I think we need to cut off K-12 education, and certainly shouldn't add to the magnet.

They are ruining our children's schools with their sheer numbers.

Answer 4

Why do the parents punish their children through their own ignorance, is it our job to set it right? Illegals are like liars, they only compound their lies by not admitting to it. On and on it goes, time to face the facts, illegal aliens and their offspring will be deported. It's happening more and more. Bye bye

Answer 5

since your in support of supporting anyone that got here illegal even if they been here years, then why not adopt them, and use your own money to support them.
