DREAM TV - Dozens of Students take Immigration Rally to the State Capitol | Jan 19,2010 by WKOWTV

MADISON (WKOW) -- Dozens of Madison-area high school and college students held an immigration rally on the steps of the state capitol Tuesday night.

The students started with a march down State Street chanting in support of immigration reform.

They were trying to drum-up support for two pieces of legislation, the DREAM and CIR-ASAP Acts, which support comprehensive change of U.S. immigration policy.

The DREAM ACT would open a pathway for earned legalization through higher education. It is co-sponsored Wisconsin senators Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl.

The CIR-ASAP Act in the House also creates an earned legalization pathway.

"As long as our immigration system is broken and outdated," said a speaker at the rally, "our economy, American families, all American workers, and students will keep suffering."

Disagree. Illegals do nothing NOTHING for me or anyone I know so quit patting yourself on your little head. We don't need reform, we need the laws already on the books to be enforced, and we sure don't need illegal thieves telling us what we need.

@6969NONAME Wow, obsessive-compulsive much? Yes, my family is made up of immigrants.LEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME IN THE RIGHT WAY AND DIDN'T EXPECT HANDOUTS AND ENTITLEMENTS BASED ON THEIR RACE. "we don't come here to take nothing from you"-yeah, that's rich. Maybe you, yourself, don't have that attitude but taking jobs when 22 million American citizens have none isn't anything to be proud of.

It's not that our immigration laws are outdated.....the problem is they're not enforced! If the federal government would get off their asses and enforce our laws, these illegals wouldn't be flooding our country!

No. I do NOT want the Dream Act passed. Me and my family came here LEGALLY. So why should illegals get a pass with this bastard Act?

I can understand your desire to beome a better person...but how do you expect anyone to take U seriously when U break our laws AND expect to be rewarded with Citizenship? The US owes U/illegals nothing except deportation for breaking R laws.

Ur parents put U in this situation is NOT for me or our Government to solve. That is between U & Ur parents.

[onstageagain]

Do U think we need U in R armed forces? We've plenty of unselfish legal Americans willing to die for this Country. Go back to Ur Country,fight for it. Americans have opportunity's because this is OUR country. Because U were brought here by your law breaking Parents, does not give U any rights in America. Most have already turned 18, & had every chance to right their parents wrong. Go back to Ur country & apply for legal entry. Those who are here are criminals. No Dream Act now or EVER

"Our immigration system"?

You mean OUR immigration system and not yours you illegals >.>

[Metallicat100]

@6969NONAME Yes, of course. My husband was unemployed for almost an entire year after being solidly employed for over 30 years. And you have the nerve to insult me and my family like we're welfare deadbeats? So according to you, he actually didn't want his job even though he got laid off. You're an idiot, you know that? Fuck off bitch.

@garciasierra Your only feeding your failure with th food gotten from a better nation. Why don't you failures try to fix your own nation and stay out of ours?

[JJRage420]

@6969NONAME I don't need to do anything to make you look foolish, you do everything for me,lol.

[rockerphelps]

The Democrats should be honest and rename it the Commitment to Recruit Illegal Mexicans for Elections Act.

@6969NONAME You made no sence whatsoever. Go pick a fight with someone else, your not worth my time. Dumb hoodrat!
