This is not an issue about parents or their kids taking a fall for their parents indiscretion it is about a “giveaway”.
Th USA at this point in time has many American citizens who have lost jobs and homes. They are struggling to put kids through college. It is unfair to “legal Immigrants” it is unfair to American citizens. What do people not understand about the word “illegal”. I personally think the progressive Democrats are doing themselves in during this lame duck session. One Congressman who many of us supported will be thrown overboard in the next election, and that’s a guarantee. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. These groups who are proponents of the “dream” act. Need to take a deep breath. Look at the devastating mess our country is in and back the heck off. As the old saying goes…take care of your own before you take care of anyone else. If someone does not understand that, they must be numb. Also how will this be financed adding more to the debt. This is bad for the country.

IM A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. WHAT’S NEXT? I CAN’T GET A JOB BECAUSE IM ILLEGAL. I THINK IT’S SO UNFAIR ON HOW WE ARE TREATED, I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO BE BORN OUT OF THE USA. I BEEN LIVING IN ARIZONA SINCE I WAS 8 MONTHS I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW MY HOMETOWN LOOKS LIKE HOW MY CULTURE IS REALLY LIKE. I DON’T HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS EVERYBODY ELSE. I CAN’T EVEN GO AND GET A REGULAR STATE ID, WHY, BECAUSE IM CONSIDERED AN ”ALIEN” AND DON’T DESERVE TO HAVE ONE.I CAN’T EVEN DRIVE FOR THE SAME REASON. DON’T PEOPLE KNOW WE ARE ALL THE SAME JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE WE ALSO NEED TO DRIVE HERE AND THERE. IM THE ONLY ONE BESIDES DAD THAT CAN DRIVE. I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL, BABY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, STORE, EVERYTHING, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DO IT WITHOUT BEING AFRAID OF GETTING PULLED OVER AND GETTING THE LITTLE BIT MY DAD GIVES ME TAKEN AWAY. IM A SINGLE MOTHER. I DON’T HAVE A JOB I LIVE WITH MY PARENTS. I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER TO MY BABY. I WISH I JUST HAD ONE CHANCE. I CAN EVENTUALLY GO TO COLLEGE. HOW DO I PAY FOR IT THOUGH YESTERDAY WAS THE LAST DAY I HAD TO PAY FOR TUITION, I WASN’T ABLE TO GET THE MONEY, WHAT DO I DO NOW? I APPLIED TO SO MANY SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL NEVER GOT NOTHING. IM DEPRESSED, STRESSED, AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. I NEED HELP. I HOPE THAT BILL BECOMES LAW IT WOULD NOT JUST HELP ME BUT ALL OF US. AND DESPITE ALL THESE OBSTACLES I HAVE IM GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL, GRADUATE, AND IF AT THE END IM UNABLE TO DO WHAT I WANT TO BE, AT LEAST I’LL HAVE A PROUD FAMILY OF ME. I AM PART OF THIS COUNTRY AND WISH TO BE TREATED THE SAME…

Now that I’m almost graduating, I sometimes wonder when I’ll be able to move like everyone else. Not having the legality to work or drive here makes me feel like I’m useless. I would take the risk to drive a car for mobility without a license, but my conscience tells me it’s a against the law, and I wouldn’t want to risk it. I would want to help my parents by working, but how can I do it without the legal papers. There are so many things I want to do with my life here in America, but so far, it still feels like an impasse. I hope that this bill will be passed, and also the bill that President Obama mentioned that allows immigrants to petition for legal status as long as they don’t disobey the law and pay fines. A lot of people here in America are given the opportunity to have a better life, but some don’t take advantage of it. While us, the immigrants, who work so hard but still belongs in the bottom can’t improve our statuses because we’re not given the same opportunity. I hope the Congress, and the Senate understands that. I hope America understands that.

Obama was fond of saying “Si se puede!” Lets see if he really meant it. Class distinctions are bad for everyone.

I hope that the Dream Act passes this year. These kids should get the opportunity to fully participate in the American Dream.It’s not their fault for being here unlawfully.
