DREAM TV - The Story of the Undocumented Students

The DREAM Act is a bipartisan proposal, which would create a pathway to citizenship for thousands of young students who were brought to the United States years ago as children. If Congress fails to act this year, another entire class of outstanding, law-abiding high school students will graduate without being able to plan for the future, and some will be removed from their homes to countries they barely know. This tragedy will cause America to lose a vital asset: an educated class of promising immigrant students who have demonstrated a commitment to hard work and a strong desire to be contributing members of our society.

@rseincorp and one more thing, you are a resource to this country. that is all you are. the government doesn't care about you. they don't care if you wave their flag, praise their laws, and die for this false statement agenda called "freedom and independence". we are simply figments of dreams, living the "wet dream" that some banker, stock broker, preacher, had in 1776, 1913, 1940...2001, 2005, 2008 etc. so don't take life seriously because its meaningless if you look at it with honesty.

[HardAsARock222]

@rseincorp first of all do some research, "illegal immigrants" actually pay taxes, that includes income, sales, home etc. and they don't get damn dime back. You know where that money goes? It goes straight to your social security, Medicare, Medicaid, schools, government, your job, resources etc. and it looks to me like you're taking life extremely too serious. you don't own anything in this country, don't pay your taxes and the gov takes away everything from you and puts u in prison.so calm down

[HardAsARock222]

Thats the political excuse. over 100 countries are of 3rd world positions owned by monopoly businesses. These countries are in debt either by the world bank (which America has the right to Veto) or by American obligations with other allies of 1st world nations. So countries are in debt which forces them to sell cheap resources and also forces indigenous people of that country to lose financial stability as privately 1st world owned corporations reduce income and rise poverty and social levels.

You and your response represent a perfect example of why immigration reform never advances.

You have absolutely NO IDEA what you are talking about and personalize your comments based on your own prejudice.

I will leave you with this...

I am not Mexican

I hold a higher degree than most people in the world.

I work for the Federal goverment

I am for proper immigration reform created by EDUCATED decision makers

May God be with you.... because nobody else will

C SPAN “Black Republican Forum” Session 2 (begin at 11:30) Allen West said one of the 1986 caveats was to secure our borders and enforcement our laws, but haven’t happened. (We’re still talking about new amnesty like DREAM Act.) We can’t allow local cities to make sanctuary cities policies, because they will bring our inner city turf wars to epic proportions by bringing in the drug cartel and Columbian gangs. (Mexican Gangs don’t recognize our borders established by the Treaty of Guadalupe)

In November 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8% with 15.1 million unemployed. (15.1 million/9.8%) = 154 million are able to work in the workforce.  11,941,812 (or 11.9 million) skilled jobs provided to illegal immigrants. GOOGLE “illegal immigration counters”, the 15.1 million unemployed could take the 11.9 million available jobs. The unemployment rate could be reduced to 2.1% {{15.1-11.9)/154}

The DREAM Act misses the entire point of being an ILLEGAL ALIEN. Illegal does not mean "if you can avoid being deported for five or more years", it means YOU'RE NOT ENTITLED TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I would like to introduce my own DREAM ACT. I DREAM politicians will begin to stand up for legal, tax-paying, middle class citizens who follow the laws. Deport law breakers and their anchor babies. Stop subsidizing criminal behaviour.

[dreamstasher]

call congress ask E-VERIFY 97% EFFECTIVE IN 1986 YOU PROMISE THAT you fix it!But you didn't now for 30 yrs. you have not honor your word! We believe in giving one million illegal citizenship! no deportation! BUT it turnout to be over 3 million because your EST. was wrong just like your word! It's time to use E-VERIFY give 1yr then look in to what else to do! No deportation! But no jobs, no money and let them go home by them self!

@sandriux73

I love it. I've got a Mexican demanding to know my citizenship status in my own country. LOL!

Understand this: your stupid arguments might make sense to those idiots one finds at immigration "rights" rallies, but not every American is an idiot, in fact the majority are not idiots. We can and will deport the illegal aliens, and hopefully you will be amongst them.
