Re: DREAM Act in Congress
Apparently I touched upon some peoples hot buttons (Ledge, tristan?), so let me explain myself a bit.
I have helped legal immigrants become US citizens, I have helped foreign nationals become legal immigrants. I am NOT against immigration, in fact I am FOR increasing legal immigration.
What I am against is bills that reward (Giving access to our schools, public services, welfare system, etc) breaking our (immigration) laws, Bills that encourage parents abandoning their children here, and bills that circumvent (DREAM citizenship) our current laws (legal immigration) by rewarding those that ignore our current laws.
While I believe that the OPs heart is in the right place (Believe me, I have huge respect for Ledge and all that he has done), I believe that this bill (and others like it) will only foster more illegal immigration and more children being abandoned, in hopes of a better life for them. This is why I am against this bill, and why I propose 'tough love'.
Again, these are my opinions and thoughts.
