Why does the music sound like porn music? LOL!

girl with nice breasts at 1:34 (only reason worth watching this vid)

[tinaw1969]

I do feel bad for the kids but they only have their parents to blame for breaking the law. Sorry...you don't belong here!

[TreesOfBaylor]

Raise the requirements and tighten enforcement ten fold on the DREAM act then try to pass it again, maybe it will pass. But the disaster that was submitted last month was a crooked joke and deserved to die. No back door amnesty.

[RIGILKENTAURUS1]

God almighty !! why should the fact that your parents broke the law have no consequences ?? They are here illegally and anything they do is illegal including squirting out babies . so quit whining about "I can`t get this BLA BLA BLA" you are illegal thats the consequences of your parents acts ,WAKE up and quit dreaming

[WinterHaven]

And thank God the Senate killed it. I have a better idea: DEPORTATION!

[ToeIn2194]

Deport all illegals now! Call monday all politicians and NO NO NO to the Dream Act which is a disturbing,false and even dangerous backdoor amnesty bill. NO DREAM ACT!

[TreesOfBaylor]

Get here legally? Welcome, please make use of our scholarships and fine universities.

Jump the fence? Had a child when you got here? Avoiding the Border Patrol?

GTFO. Go back home. We aren't here to solve your home country's problems. You are criminals.

[fresnowfo]

These Criminals should not be Rewarded for being able to hide from the border patrol....No Amnesty....Deport Illegals Now.......

[RLily333]

Its difficult to agree with this. There are SO MANY first nation/ american indian people who are extremely talented and intelligent who cannot afford college either (we also have the stereotype of being given a free ride to college which is BS)

My family had to sell their home so I could attend college.

I feel like the government should take care of their people first. everyone has to struggle and sacrifice

[jaminlikesdrums]

Nice try. Sure many illegal immigrants have worked ward and have aspirations; so have thousands right now who are going trough the lengthy process of LEGAL immigration.

[islandmuffin]

People who are NOT citizens of the USA are NOT US Citizens. People who violate immigration, forgery, work & welfare laws are criminal aliens. Tens of millions of Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan citizens and others are not US Citizens but criminal aliens. Hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens from other parts of the worlds are not US Citizens. It is immoral to argue that anyone should benefit by violating US law. It is immoral to argue that alien children should benefit from criminal acts.

[SamiHaves]

Report them?! Why should you deport the kids who hve done nothing but follow their parents who came to U.S illegally. How dare you label the kids "Illegal" bc they unknowingly came to US. More than avg num of illegal immigrant pay taxes and majority of them consider the U.S their home. Consider how you feel if your parents brought you here illegally. Is it right to label someone illegal bc the LAW have narrow consideration for situation such as this? Pass the Dream ACT!

[DerailAmnestydotcom]

@SamiHaves The answer to your first question: Because they are wrongfully occupying spaces in the U.S. that rightfully belong to other would-be immigrants who have applied to enter lawfully, and are still waiting in their home countries. The answer to your second question: Because "illegal" accurately describes their unlawful presence in the U.S. Check out Title 8 of the U.S. Code if you want to verify what I just stated.

[ferrarriguy]

illegal aliens are CRIMINALS, that's why they're called ILLEGAL aliens. What part of ILEGAL do you not understand?

They are criminals that need to be arrested, punished and deported back to their own filthy shithole countries.

call immigration to report them

[josegenawesome4ever]

you people are so selfish some of you guys dont support this because you guys aren't in this situation so you guys dont know how it fells

[DerailAmnestydotcom]

@josegenawesome4ever I doesn't matter "how it feels." "How it feels" could be used to justify everything from rape, bank robbery and kidnapping. What matters is the law, that is completely fair and open to immigrants who play by the rules. Get a sense of values.

[tncdel]

See:

americanpatrolDOTcom/REFERENCE­ /AidAbetUnlawfulSec8USC1324.

html

[tncdel]

Already-existing federal law says it's a CRIME to aid or abet, or to encourage or harbor, illegals.

So the Dream Act would be illegal.

[strikeout191]

stop and think really hard on what the Dream Act will do if we let illegal immigrants get free financial aid from the government. I pay everything for my schooling out of my own pocket and I get no financial aid but you don't see me complaining.

[runallday400j50]

Sorry no FREE financial aid from gov. Passing the dream act will finally allow them to pay all taxes. Right now, they are forbidden to bc itll give away their status. Millions of them will finally buy houses that theyve been wanting to (but couldnt), buy cars which they couldnt w/o a license, etc. Btw, remember, dream act only applies to children who was BROUGHT here w/o their intentions, They could b 3 & have 'commited a crime' @ that age. i belive they deserve freedom unlike the real criminals

[guicho0o]

If you ask me, the government is prolonging any type of reform because they're in no hurry to eliminate this surplus.

I'm illegal. I start college in the Fall. Hopefully Obama passes the DREAM Act so I can actually benefit from a college degree.

[quemeister]

this is only helping 65000 children who have grown up in America and seek to get some financial aid in college, so don't exaggerate things that you guys have no fucking idea about; and by the way ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT DOES NOT EQUAL MEXICAN u dumb stupid fucking redneck racist hating dumbfucks!

[norbert009]

I was brought here by my parents when I was only a toddler. I am illiterate in my supposed native language. I am and feel as american as any other because of how hard i have had to work in life. I amintaned a 4.0 in highschool and graduated with 28 credits.

[norbert009]

I am in college and maintaining a 4.0 average. And as if things aren't hard enough i'm epileptic and have to pay for collge completley out of pocket. Please support the deam act. What have I done wrong to deserve no rights other then being born.

[norbert009]

And after college if this dream act passes... i want to start a company after college with friends of mine. Make this country the shining beaon it's suppose to be.

[CHRISCOOBS]

Stop allowing the will of 23million illegal aliens further burden the american worker with more of their tax dollars wasted towards people who contribute nothing and take so much.

[guicho0o]

We don't contribute? Last time I checked we illegal immigrants pay into the tax, social security and Medicaid systems without being able to retrieve any of that money or benefits. The government actually makes a substantial profit on each illegal who comes here. This has resulted in a surplus in social security funds of more than $50 billion a year just from payments applied to fictional social security numbers.

[paccarik]

Mmm...What makes a citizen of the world "illegal?" The greatness of this county only exists because people from all over the world made it what it is today: The land of opportunity for everyone who works hard. If we don't allow immigrant youth the chance to contribute to their communities, then we are neglecting a brighter future to this great nation.

[runallday400j50]

yeah, it is two years of college or military service. anyhow, i think the fact that you think 6 yrs of military service is more appropriate, is just a matter of opinion. there is really no right answer for how many years within reasonable time period. however, there is NONE of these right now so im saying i believe something needs to be done to provide these students with an opportunity.

[runallday400j50]

sorry, i really dont mean to be like trying to make fun of you but i cant understand what you meant 'not two and not two years college. 6 years military and then they can us the GI bill.

but all this after the rest of the illegals go back and the border secured. ' maybe some typos?

[runallday400j50]

actualy ur not exactly right. in many cases, these children hav lived in US most their lives & barely know anything about their parentscountry as theyve lived in US most their lives. they may not even speak thelanguage there. also do u no the terms for getting citizenship its not as tho the act passes then immediately becom citizen, they MUST attend colleg or military after all that THEN they can apply for citizenship. fact that their allowed to go to college only gives them temporary residency.

[runallday400j50]

im not sure if the government would be 'assisting' education. i think it would be more like giving an educational privilege to children who have worked hard just like everyone else but cannot continue for a fault not of their own. many illegals are willing to contribute and not asking for any money, dont you understand. they'll all be paying for their college. who says they asked for scholarships and such? being able to have an opportunity by education is all theyre asking for

[runallday400j50]

what do you mean 'lets educate the legal americans first'. noones stopping them

[rankinreddevils]

Me and my sister are first generation here. I am going to school about to get my associates in Occupational Safety and Health and then go to Texas ATM for my grad degree. My sister is a double major at the University of Texas in Arlington and going to get a grad degree in spanish and history, and is think about trying out law school. My old man works the oil field and has busted his tial off so we can afford to go to school and have a better life and career than he ever had.

[rankinreddevils]

With my help and other friends we registered him into college this semester and he is going for drafting. Me and my friends give him little jobs to do for extra cash around our houses since he wants to pay us back for paying for college. I think that immigrants who want to go to school should and it's not their fault that they didnt pass.

[rankinreddevils]

I have a friend who is illegal and after graduation he was so depressed because he coudnt go to school. I came to realize that he could apply and be accepted to go to college, pay his own way, not work, but take all the classes he needs to get a 2 year degree, but never obtain it since he doesnt have a license or SS#.

[rankinreddevils]

I think that if they do pass this bill, it will benifit the u.s. But just because they get their citizenship doesnt mean other family members or girlfriends should benefit. I would rather pass this bill and give undocumented workers a chance of school or armed forces than those who just want to bleed america dry.

[jmonstuh]

many people dont realise it but immigrants have so much to give to this nation. just give them a chance to succeed , its all theyre asking for, i know so many of them that would love to be back home but theyre here because of their kids. the parents of this kids just want a better future for them. its just a matter of trying to be in their shoes to understand that theyre not doing anything wrong.

[raya465]

actually they are doing something wrong they are here in the United States ILLEGALLY THATS WRONG

[marinesrock101]

Wow you are a true class act. I cannot believe your lack of understanding, nor your inability to see 5 minutes in front of you. Don't you understand? Most have been here all their lives they know no one back home. If we don't educate these kids, they will turn into criminals. Then the criminals will cost you and your children more than you can imagine. Their parents work here and you and I reap the benefits, so don't turn your face. Let's seek a realistic solution, REALISTIC

[Creamyguitar1956]

I hope an illegal alien takes your job. That is my DREAM..and it is realistic..Let's just let the whole world move here.

[chuck65pa]

who's turning their face? Not me...Tell ya what, I'll offer my ass instead...now kiss it. Go ahead you know you want to. That's right...kiss it good. This is a nation of laws (for now anyway)...come here, but do it legally. How F****ng hard is that to understand? Jackass...unbelievable where this country is going.

[Creamyguitar1956]

Look at my comment dipshit...I think you are replying to the wrong person.

[JKB76]

American isn't for everyone but it is for those with the hunger to succeed and the will to do so. All these kids want is a chance. There are plenty of American teens who have no ambition beyond the next sexual encounter. There are undocumented teens who are in honors classes. If the Dream Act passes FAFSA will get more funding. The colleges will expand. This is a good investment for our future and much better than the dept. of corrections getting more funding.

[raya465]

it doesnt matter what CITIZENS want to do with their citizenship. The quality of work the citizen does, does not make them more or less of a citizen. You still have to wait f your illegal because there are plenty of illegals that are not in honors classes should they not be citizens because they dont "apply themselves" enough??

[JKB76]

The welfare of a society is contingent upon the actions of their citizens. If you choose not to engage positively then you are not only failing yourself but also society. Archbishop York once said that "the true purpose of education is to produce citizens." The reality is that these kids have made their lives here. To wish them away is immaterial. We must make sure that they are a positive force for our country. Many are already and as such will contribute to our country.

[raya465]

okay and our immigration process allows for choosing proper people for our country why should we have a process if everyone is just trying to bypass it

[raya465]

okay if you all want an education so badly get it in your own countries if you want to get one in the US you have to wait to get your citizenship like everyone else America isnt for everone to come and get education its barely providing for its citizens now just go to your own countries and get your college and high school degrees there unless you want to come to the US legally sheesh!

[Noobstur323]

To raya465. We didnt choose to come here. I'm 18 and been here since i was 2. I have never been to Mexico... how am i suppose to just go back. I speak more english than spanish. You do not understand our situation. We have little options and going back to our country is not of them. We need the dream act to pass so that we can be the American citizens that we deserve to be.

[raya465]

Noobstur323 dat is da part u and all of u ppl do not understand regardless if u feel more comfortable here is not da point dat does not make u deserve to b here jus cuz ur parents made a mistake and brought u here illegally does not mean dat it is rite.

wat is da point of having legal processes 4 immigration if ppl like u say

[raya465]

"oh but now i have a language barrier i cant go bak" we would have overpopulation! why should tax payers who are LEGAL have 2 sit around and help make laws for people that are illegal to try and get them to stay! the fact that they are ILLEGAL should have some say in dis not jus 2 provide citizenships 4 those to lazy 2 wait 4 it

[Noobstur323]

To raya465, What if you just found out that you were not born in the US, and your parents brought you here when you were 2 and now your an illegal..... would you want to stay here in the country that you know and love, or will you want to be deported to your country that you never even been to??

[raya465]

i wasnt born in this country

i am a naturalized citizen

[raya465]

and noobstur323 just because your parents brought u here ILLEGALLY doesnt make it right its still ILLEGAL

[strikeout191]

you need to work on your sentence structure.

[jmonstuh]

lol yea i know =[

[marinesrock101]

You obviously need an education

[raya465]

marinesrock101 im getting one LEGALLY thanks though :-)

[everlasting4]

This video was A W E S O M E! ! !

10+

CHANGE IS ON IT'S WAY!

YEAHH!

HATERS FALL BACK! LOL

=]]]

[wetweasel56]

All of you that want this dream act passed think about something for a moment. You are riding on the coat tails of tax payers. The US tax payer has the right to give you this or not.

You don't even have any respect for the citizens of the USA so how can you be so stupid not to understand that they do not want to help you?

[orc4l]

thats strength

[SheeKanaN8Tive]

It is so sad when I see 4.0 students that have taken the most rigorous classes have very little chance to go to college. And they have lived their whole life here in the States. This is such a waste of talent. Some of these students could find cures to diseases or become great teachers. Also is Oregon undocumented people cannot get their drivers license. This is so sad when a 16 year old who has been here all or most of his life cannot be accepted by the only country he knows!

[Mochan17]

The video is too good!

I think if everyone saw this

people would understand more!

it has a feeling to it that is unexplainable

p.s-i like that reggae song at the endd its

goood!

[peanutbutterhaircut]

The Dream Act is stupid because its all about education, it should just be oh its not your fault and ok lets make you a citizen, not go to college or army or jump these hoop's.

[Mochan17]

Uhmmmmmmmmmm.

There's always risks you have to take.

nothing has an easy way out.

[SheeKanaN8Tive]

The DREAM act strands for:Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. It's just a step in the right direction.

[peanutbutterhaircut]

get papers wait on line, Fuck you what line, somebody brought us here and thus we inherit our parents status. Do your homework about what kind of adversity we have. Oh yeah P.S. I hate school

[peanutbutterhaircut]

Fuck school I hate school. Just Pass it so I can be a citizen, I don't want to go college, don't want to jump any jump how high to show anybody I am a human being just want to make an income!

[enigmagatsby1]

bitter because it's only for hard working students or because you dont have the guts to join the armed forces?

[l3lani3]

please keep this going!!! OBAMA WILL PASS THIS ACT! I HOPE! PLEASE PASS IT!

[Usagi707x]

Ugggghhhhhh!!!! This video makes me more depressed *cries* Its very impossible to attend college here in Pennsylvania...there is no AB 540 law here so it just sucks not even being able to afford it...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! How in hell am I possible going to afford it?

[Usagi707x]

I know...get a job but I would still not be able to afford it anyways I hate this cause everyone else is making college plans except me and its so depressing.

[hEtTiSuM]

Exellent video!

I hope Obama passes the Dream Act, so I can attend the university after graduating HS.

[wetweasel56]

THEY ARE ILLEGAL!!! DEPORT THEM NOW!!

[Usagi707x]

GO SUCK DICK NOW!!!! That rymes doesn't it?? Well you did said the NOW word at the end...LOL

This comment goes to Wetweasel56....

[bmagally]

Well guess what Buddy...Everyone in the Unitedc States are immigrants! DEAL WITH IT! This isn't YOUR COUNTRY, It's The NATIVE AMERICANS!!!!!!!!! ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS...LEARN ABOUT IT!

[wetweasel56]

If this country belongs to the NATIVE AMERICANS then what are YOU doing here???

Why don't you leave first, I'll leave right behind you!

[l3lani3]

do you not have any heart??? seriously they shud get papers u fucking idiot!

[wetweasel56]

DO they have any heart when they take our welfare, food stamps, free health care, jobs, kill our citizens, not pay taxes, etc.

What goes around comes around.

[enigmagatsby1]

Contrary to some misguided opinions, in-state tuition increases college enrollment, while not increasing the cost of college to taxpayers and in fact, pours more money into state coffers since students that couldn't otherwise afford to attend college are paying tuition and spending on higher education.

[enigmagatsby1]

Basically, you're ignorant and dont understand that by passing the Dream Act the US would be gaining money, opening up for job possiblities, due to more college enrollments, and you clearly missed the part about HIGHER education.

[wetweasel56]

You are a criminal if you or you parents are in America illegally. So, you are in effect stealing your education.

Go back to your own country and change it for the better, better than here if you can. But you can't so you suck off of other people like leeches.

[DreamActivistdotOrg]

ACtually, illegal presence is not a crime, it is a civic misdemeanor. You might want to check up on your laws.

[enigmagatsby1]

stereotypical response.

thank you for proving my point

[sunny0254]

everyone has the same right, in my opinion everone here are so called illegal americab beside native americans

[mexdado]

We will keep advocating for the passage of the Dream Act, UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS REFUSE TO BE CRUSHED!!!

[yarely06]

support the DREAM act!!!

[guaditas29]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! There are many latinos out there who are professionals and would give up everything to become legal citizens. Being a undocumented student is really hard since you can not apply for students loans nor most of scholarships. College's costs come right out of students' pockets. I hope Obama does something to improve our society, it would not be fair to waste sooo much talent just for not having a 9 digit number. Thank you for uploading videos like this.

[ultimatespider17]

Good Video !

[DreamAct]

Great job on the video. Very professional. I hope you can make it into a full blown documentary.

[pimporation]

Yay for the DREAM!!!!!!!

[longislandwins]

Very well done....I'm sending to all my friends!

[julio199204]

Awesome

[mexdado]

The will to keep on, the Dream Act is about opportunity and prosperity.

[mar1a1987]

Great video!!

Go DREAMies! This is our year!

[UndergroundAtBrown]

DREAM Act 09!

[chemicalcastration]

Hey let's try to get this on the front page!!!!

[odoull69]

These young people came to the US through no fault of their own. If they work hard, stay out of trouble, and succeed academically, they should be allowed to live as full citizens in the US. They will contribute more to society through their skills and taxes, ensuring prosperity for all Americans. I fully support the DREAM Act, as should everyone.

[utahaztec]

This is not about amnesty. It is not about immigration reform. It is about the children who were brought here by their parents and raised here alongside citizens. They need to be allowed to be free from hiding in shadows. They have too many skills and talents to share with America. We all benefit from the passage of the Dream Act!

[djturtlep]

Great video! These children are Americans in every sense of the word.

[sonanip]

This is great. Thanks for making it!

[DreamAct09]

Everyone should be voting for this. Why are we letting such talent go to waste?

[DreamActivistdotOrg]

I don't know ... They don't want these kids to pay taxes and contribute to the economy or their social security savings later?

[DerailAmnestydotcom]

@DreamActivistdotOrg No, actually we don't want them to stay long enough to join the other children of current and former illegal aliens who, nationwide, graduate from H.S. at a rate below 50%. Also, the concept that their law-breaking families would be rewarded for their criminality by having the children granted legal residency is pretty offensive to us, as well.
