So, has any body heard of the DREAM ACT?

Question

This is a bill that the liberals are trying to get passed that would give the children of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS reduced tuition at our universities. This is outragous.
These people get better protection then those that are born here.
Of course, the largest supporter of this act is good ol' red-nosed Kennedy. What is this man thinking?
These people are here illegally, THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS AT ALL!!!!
Now, we are supposed to spend more of our tax dollars so that they can get an education!!
THIS MAKES ME SICK!
How do feel about it?

Answer 1

Kennedy, is the bigges Anti-American, American in history. I think he has a hatred towards America that is very deep-seated.
I ask myself, hmmmmmm self, if your country was responsible for the deaths of so many of your family members, would you love your country? I answer myself, nooooo, it would very difficult to handle, but I will take their fat paychecks, they lacksadasical work schedule, and their gigantic retirement package, and live like a fat drunken prince for the rest of my days. He is an ignoramous.

Answer 2

I have nothing against immigrants coming to america and in fact our economy depends on it, but I do not think we should give them any kind of government aid whatsoever, and I most definitely do not think any children born to them in the USA should be given citizenship. The problem is that when the bills to stop this are presented there is some stupid addendum attached to it so it gets voted down. BTW I am by no means prejudiced. My first husband is a mexican and he came to america, learned to read and right the language and doesnt and never did act like he thought he or others had to right to take over our country. They come here looking for the american dream and then want to change things. I say if they dont like the way things are then stay in or go back to their own damn country.

Answer 3

No.
(1) Orrin Hatch (one of the most conservative republicans) introduced it.
This year's version is sponsored by TWO REPUBLICAN SENATORS Lugar and Hagel. So stop with the "liberal liberal liberal" whining. Get your facts straight.

(2) It's not about illegal immigrants; it's about their children:
Like last year's version of the DREAM Act, which was also sponsored by Sen. Hatch, S. 1545 would enact two major changes in current law:

Eliminate the federal provision that discourages states from providing in-state tuition without regard to immigration status; and
Permit some immigrant students who have grown up in the U.S. to apply for legal status.
But S. 1545 differs in some important respects from its predecessor.

Unlike last year's bill, DREAM 2003 sets up a two-stage process for applying for legal status. Immigrant students who have grown up in the U.S., graduated from high school here, and can demonstrate good moral character would initially qualify for "conditional lawful permanent resident" status, which would normally last for six years. During the conditional period, the immigrant would be required to go to college, join the military, or work a significant number of hours of community service. At the end of the conditional period, those who meet at least one of these requirements would be eligible for regular lawful permanent resident status.

Immigrants who meet the above requirements would be eligible to apply for a temporary six (6) year "conditional" residence permit which would allow them to live legally in the United States, obtain driver's licenses, attend college as in-state residents, work legally (including obtaining a social security number), and apply for special travel documents which would allow for travel outside of the country for limited amounts of time.

During the six years of conditional status, the eligible immmigrant would be required to either (1) attend a community college for at least two years, (2) complete at least two years towards a 4-year degree, or (3) serve two years in the U.S. military. After the six year period, an immigrant who meets at least one of these three conditions would be eligible to apply for legal permanent resident (green card) status. During their temporary time, immigrants would not be eligible for federal higher education grants such as Pell grants, though they would be able to apply for student loans and work study.

If the immigrant does not meet the the educational or military service requirement within the six year time period, his temporary residence would be revoked and he or she would be subject to deportation.




Don't blame children of illegals for the illegals' bad act. Should you be penalized because your dad drove drunk? Or because he did drugs, you can't get student loans?
