Default Dream Act?

So if your between the age of 16-30 and have lived here at least 5 years without breaking laws you can stay? Didn't they break the law to begin with? Is this a "reelection" thing for Hispanic voters?

Well I see a fundamental flaw in this law, if you came here illegally, you broke a law, therefore no one qualifies.

Step 1. Tell states you cannot investigate or confirm citizenship of voters
step 2. Amnesty for illegals
step 3. Socialize Amerika

Step 4: Appoint yourself commander for the next 40 years....


If I was a naturalized citizen of this country I'd be severely pissed at this. Guess I'm just a racist bigot, but I'm feeling like the only people in this country who have to follow the rules are those of us who were born here. My grandfather moved here in the 1930s and followed the rules. This I have nothing against, what I am against is people who break laws to get here and there are no legal actions taken. People who come here and expect me to change everything to cater to them.

I have close personal friends who were born in other countries yet are now naturalized citizens. They learned and speak English and follow the rules. They're also really good friends who have been through a lot of ---- where they came from and wanted to come here for a better life.

But I guess I'm just a white racist pig because I believe EVERYBODY should be held to the same standards and have to follow the same rules.

This dream act is actually for people who were brought here as children (younger than 16) and have lived here for at least five years and have no criminal record of any sort. Also it requires these kids to at least finish high school or have a GED. Most of the time these kids come here and America is all they know, some don't even speak the language of their home country. We would be dooming these children if we were to throw them back to where they came from. And the people that are dream act eligible can become productive members of society.

Not really because none of those people should be here in the first place, they could apply for citizenship at any time (like right now). Is this nation going to grant amnesty to illegals every 30-years? America has enough problems, she doesn't need another batch of irresponsible illegal aliens. If this were any other country in the world, these illegals would get thrown out on their *** for not following the process. Why do you expect a group of people who come over here illegally and stay here illegally to develop into "productive members of society"? Suddenly the speeding ticket I got last year had more severe consequences than entering this country illegally.

BTW, the Dream Act is dead because the Senate voted it down...yes, the Senate. lol @ EO abuse. I love the White House mayhem served up to us for election season. Is there anything this guy won't do for re-election?

One thing is that illegals can not just apply for citizenship. There is no clear way for illegals to become legal. I agree that illegals should not be here. But it it's the fact that very few mexicans get approved for a visa. My wife's family is mexican citizens living in mexico and my mother in-law just applied for a visa (120usd) and got denied for not having enough money. Why do you say irresponsible illegal aliens? These people eligible under the dream act have done nothing to be considered anything else but good people. Maybe their parents are irresposible for bringing the kids here. As far as getting illegals thrown out, imagine how much money that would cost. Instead, make them legal and they can pay taxes.

I think that one main reason the Dream Act didn't pass the Senate is that the senate is republican and we have a democrat in the white house. I don't agree with Obama most of the time, but so far he is the only one to help illegals. Illegals needs some sort of path to become legal. The reason we have illegals is because they try the legal route and get denied over and over again and they come over here as a last resort to support their families.

Um, yes you can. If very few people get approved, that does not justify illegal status. That's the beauty of the selection process, the USA won't take just anyone.

I thought they "already paid taxes"?

This is a good thing as you've presented it, there needs to be a cut-off where the USA doesn't provide citizenship to people who will immediately go to welfare. Contrary to your story, my GF's dad is naturalized and claims that he obtained naturalization when he was a busser in a restaurant. These days he owns a successful home remodeling company and does not employ illegals and makes a -----ton of money. I know a legal immigrant construction contract who only employs legal citizens is a unicorn and cannot exist in nature, but I believe this fabled legend.

Booting illegals and amnesty are two different things.

So the solution for a deficient or corrupt citizenship approval process is amnesty? Rather than grant amnesty, this president should have enacted a "naturalization push" to support and encourage legal citizenship.

We have enough Americans out of work. We don't need more illegals coming here and undercutting the ------- rest of them.

You mean the Wild Dream "Act?"

The president has no authority to do what he's trying to do. The Bill wasn't voted down in the Senate. It's a dead bill. The President with no authority can activate a dead bill without first going through and being ratified by both houses.

What he is doing is criminal, much like the illegals living here.

Source: Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

Also it requires these kids to at least finish high school or have a GED.
cool story? What does that have to do with anything? They have to finish school in out pathedic gov't run system? So basically they get a free ride on my coattails? great!

Most of the time these kids come here and America is all they know, some don't even speak the language of their home country. We would be dooming these children if we were to throw them back to where they came from. And the people that are dream act eligible can become productive members of society.
That's not our problem. In Syria the gov't is killing their own citizens...

These same people can become productive members of any society. If we dropped them off in Canada, they'd do just as well as they would if we dropped them off in Iran.


honestly, the president should be impeached for this, among other things.
