America was built on a dream, and on the backs of immigrants. America is a nation of immigrants, some people's immigration history spaning from decades. Not allowing these people the same rights as our forfathers had, to come to a land, to be free and given the right to citizenship is:in my eyes: unlawful, disgraceful as a nation, and unamerican. We should allow these kids to be able to become a part of this nation we know as a melting pot. I support this bill 100% and so should you.
@hmongpabhmong You should allow these kids to go back and make their countries better. This is the right thing. You steal these good smart kids from their countries people over there keep breeding human garbage and sneak in here to freeload. "Forefathers" did not fuck up this country, they gave their lives/blood and built it out of nothing. Now a lot of cockroaches claim to have rights to fuck up this country. You r a fake. ;)
I respect for what Colin Powell was done like the 1991 Gulf War and all but seriously we don't not illegals here. We need legal immigration, not illegal immigrants.
and Mr. Powell, you're not a moderate Republican, you're a libtard!!!! If you were a moderate Republican, why the hell would you vote for Obama?? It is no wonder I was NEVER a fan/supporter/admirer of you. Then you went babbling your mouth about the Ground Zero Mosque and the Nightmare DREAM Act.
you don't know have strong stances in defense matters. You opposed the majority of the people in the Bush 41 cabinet when they went to war in the Gulf in 1991. And who cares about Michael Bloom-turd??! That guy is an idiot, just like you, when you support the Ground Zero mosque.
who says we were anti-immigration Mr. Powell??? I am pro-legal immigration, NOT pro-illegal immigration. what a sellout!!! Thank god I am NO FAN of you!!
Do you guys really want to know why they want to pass the DREAM Act? So they can have "warm body's" to fight our future wars. Shit, might as well have the Mexicans fight it for us. *sarcasm*
@Chunkylove84 Bro..Last time I check only G_d can send people to hell...I'm Apache Indian and Olmec....but at the end of the day who cares...because this land is my land this land has my ancestor blood for a price..Dec 21,2012 is Game Over
@themorningstar2012 So are you implying that Dec 21,2012 is the day of the Rapture in which those who are not followers of Christ will be left behind and not transformed? So apparently you intend to side with the devil being that you are using his nickname "morningstar".
338.3 billion dollars a year spent on illegals. Breakdown ,ask me. Nearly a million sexual assaults so far,45 billion sent in remittance back to home countries,2-5 medicaid a year,2-2 billion food stamps a y,3 miilion A DAY to incarcerate,17 billion educate anchors,30% ofFed Prison illegals,200 billion a y in suppressed Amer wages caused by illegals...more?Ask for references,please. It's a bust all around for Americans
@ToeIn2194 Do you pull numbers out of your ass? Get some actual facts. Look here's a link: CBO dot com. Its a nonpartisan government website which gives factual analysis on issues such as this one so people like yourself don't go around spreading lies.
@GermanicReich You don't have the courage to look at real facts only your selfserving ,traitor bs. You refuse to face the dark side of illegal invasion. Keep sleeping or if you are an illegal keep dreamingand leave our country now!
So now it's decided that morally and criminally they are "okay" enough for the tax payers to support their lives here cradle to grave with benefits and entitlements that Americans are not privey to despite the fact that they are real Americans!!!!! You are audacious in your convenient justifications.
@ToeIn2194 How about you adopt an illegal family and set up a trust fund for them. Maybe in a couple of years or so some of them might pay a few taxes.Maybe you'll be invited on one of their dual citizenship forrays back and forth to mexico where they have their "other" life set up when the handouts here dwindle .
@ToeIn2194 Of course they pay taxes. Have you ever seen a cashier not charge sales tax to someone just bc they aren't legal? Many illegals work with fake soc sec numbers and have taxes taken out of their checks like everyone else, but many are too afraid to file taxes and get tax refund, and none of them are eligible to collect social security unless they become legal citizens.
@ToeIn2194 Stephen C. Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration and someone who enjoys bipartisan support for his straightforwardness, said that by 2007, the Social Security trust fund had received a net benefit of somewhere between $120 billion and $240 billion from unauthorized immigrants. for full article google: Edward Schumacher-Matos

Current Illegal Aliens Will Get Federal Student Loans, Federal Work Study Programs, and Other Forms of Federal Financial Aid. Section 10 allows illegal aliens amnestied under the bill’s provisions to qualify for federal student assistance Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.) in the form of federal student loans (Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, Federal Direct Stafford/Ford Loans), and federal work-study programs.
STOP THE DREAM ACT! Call,Monday every rep you can and demand jobs for Americans. DEMAND NO AMNESTY IN ANY WAY! OR 2012 we will dump more of these politicians! STOP THE DREAM ACT WHICH IS AN AMNESTY LOOPHOLE!
@gtfoomfg Fuck La Raza and the Brown Shirts and every racist illegal and hispanic anti American hating leech that is using America for an ATM while glorifying mexico or any third world shithole you come from. LEAVE OUR COUNTRY NOW! BTW,Calling Americans racist is ironic YOU RACIST!I happen to be an olive skinned ethnic who does not need to be a "redneck" to see whatyou are doing to our country!
@gtfoomfg Every member of my family has been military. Now tell me I'm pussy you foul mouthed piece of garbage. We really want your type or these gangs militarized into para military roaming latino American hating thugs.Anyway,no one,except the exceptional shoulds be given citizenship,[which is something seperate and unto itself,dummy]for the exchange of 2yrs college or military. No one should be in the military unless we know who they REALLY are as we are seeing now!
@gtfoomfg How do you do a background check on someone if you can't even really be sure who they are, where they are from, how long they have lived here or why they are really here?
@nmende00 The government knows who is here legally or illegaly, but we should know that without immigrants our country wouldn't be a strong country. The "Dream Act" would only be applicable to those without a felony or a misdemeanor; with a background check it will only qualify for those with a clean record.
Illegal Aliens Will Get In-State Tuition Benefits: illegal aliens to qualify for in-state tuition, and not being offered to U.S. citizens and legally present aliens living just across state lines. Section 3 of the DREAM Act repeals Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1623) which prohibits giving education benefits to an unlawfully present individual unless that same benefit is offered to all U.S. citizens.
@blackisbeautiful09 If citizenship is a right why do legal immigrants have to earn it? Why can it be taken away for collaborating with the enemy? You can't earn a right, because a right is dependent on a moral belief.
I can see your point though. Blacks may have earned the RIGHT to be citizens of this nation the day they landed here, but nobody is immune from losing their citizenship. I'm still surprised that blacks have been so loyal that treated them poorly.
@nmende00 Are you talking about how the old Democrats were and that the old Republicans freed the slaves. I am liberal Don't be surprised becuase there is more to the story. I can go into it if you want me. The old Democratic Party is now the Republican party of today. The old Republican party is now the Democratic party of today. There was a switch that happen I think in the 60's or 70's
@blackisbeautiful09 The name is confusing but democrats are only slightly less bad than republicans. I was just saying that citizenship, like driver's license something is something you have to work to get and work to keep. You cant deny people a human right no matter how evil they, but you can deny or take away citizenship if they mess up.
@nmende00 I support the Dream act becuase I think those people are here and have been her for yrs and yrs. Also who have worked in this country for a long time nned a pathway to citizenship.
@blackisbeautiful09 But then that undermines the whole point of the INS.Why bother having immigration laws at all? We dont have enough education funding and jobs for the people already here.We dont owe people who are here illegally anything.They can wait their turn just like my parents did and just like my wife did.
@nmende00 The immigration laws are flawed and nned to be changed. I know people who have been here for 20+ yrs and have not gotten their citizenship yet. We might not owe them nothing but people use them to pay them next to nothing to work.
@gtfoomfg Even if they would, why should they have to? I think they earned the right to stay here after centuries of mistreatment. I was just surprised that American blacks have been as loyal as they to a nation that has treated them so poorly.
@nmende00 Because this nation was built on black people's backs. Black people are very cynical of America. When Michelle Obama said that for the first time she loved American when her husband was running. Many people called her un american. But I got were she was coming from. I really did. To be honest I never thought in my lifetime we would have president that is multi racial.
@evanescencelu I respect him, but promising the children of illegals citizenship will only encourage more people to come across illegally. What we need is to help our neighbors to the south fight corruption and poverty so that they dont have to risk their lives to be able to live a good life.instead of wasting time fighting BS wars we should be helping our neighbors.
@E11VeNE. i don't understand why this warrants any attention. is there something surprising or relevant or useful that Powell says that i might have missed in this clip? why would U.S. citizens or non-citizens care what this man says on this or any other issue --given his history from Mai Lai, through Iran, his contracts with defense firms and AOL, to lying to the UN and Iraq and beyond. there was a time when citizens attempted to arrest him for war crimes. have students already forgotten?
