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.

Americans , Not One more Damn thing given to illegals until we get R borders secure, R ecomomy in order. NOTHING , Not one more dime given to illegals or there kids. The lesson of moral hazard is clear: Making exceptions to the rule of law for sympathetic law-breakers only creates more law-breaking, more injustice towards the law-abiding in the future. Fed representatives resist emotional appeal of a Dream Act & vote it down, until the border is secure ! NUFF SAID

I'm ok with the dream act and all, but it needs to be change somewhat.

The dream act shouldn't just be focus on kids especially does who are already here. What about the parents of these kids? What about the adults who immigrated here? What about the youngest one in the family or the oldest one? What about the ones who are to move here in later years? It needs to be focus on everybody, not just education.

It is past time for Americans to know what is at the root of this outrageous behavior & the extent to which the nation is at risk because of La Raza, The Race.

The real agenda of the LaRaza movement, the agenda that led to those thousands of illegal immigrants in the streets of American cities, waving Mexi flags, brazenly defying R laws & demanding Rights as illegals. America there's a wolf in our midst, take the necessary precautions to defend R Republic against this enemy.

@BoxGuy1951 Chill with the racism, it only shows your ignorance; actually most immigrants pay their taxes and follow the code of conduct of the U.S.

@Freedan111 What is illegal enlight me? Like you said, Natives tried to kick "Europeans" not "you" get it right! Out of here, but after they started slaving them! Please all of you stop with your ignorance, racism only shows how non-educated you are.
