Note that they are often called Townshend Act-s (plural, because they imposed taxes on a number of different items!). To be specific, they were passed on June 26, 29 and July 2, 1767.

Also, I don't quite see why you would THIS set of acts, in particular, led to the Revolution. There were a series of different acts that contributed. The earlier Stamp Act produced a stronger reaction, and the acts that most immediately led to the Revolution were the various "Intolerable Acts" passed in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. (The Townshend Acts, by the way, were repealed in 1770 [April 12].)

People don't have an 'equal' right to be here, only those who came legally do. Those who didn't and went through school here have already received education at $10,000 per child per year, at the expense of programs cut across the board for our own children. There is NOTHING owing to them. That said I might have been able to support a properly tailored Dream act ONLY for those who came prior to 5 years ago (not a ROLLING 5 year period applying to those not here yet) those 25 or under, and those with good grades in high school who are going to college. The caveats, extensions to age 30 and WAIVERS of longstanding immigration exclusions for poor moral character and crime on the basis of family unity etc were complete non-starters. We are disgusted with our Congress which pretends it is doing something limited and tries to crowbar as much 'hidden population' in as possible, including the VERY ones we'd want most to keep out, such as gang members and criminals. Personally, I think BOTH sides in congress wanted the issue more than a solution.
