Thread: DREAM Arguments Ignore common sense

DREAM Arguments Pull at Heartstrings But Ignore Commonsense

The passage of the DREAM Act in the House on Wednesday makes me think how quickly we forget to be thankful after Thanksgiving. Instead of being thankful for the education and other opportunities they have already received, potential beneficiaries of the DREAM Act amnesty are asking for more. More education, more jobs, more benefits, and everything else that comes with amnesty and American citizenship.

These kids illegally received the benefits of American citizens. While the mantra of DREAM Act proponents is that their illegal presence is through no fault of their own and they didn’t have a choice in coming the United States, I cannot help but ask why the parents aren’t being held responsible. The parents had a choice and they chose to break the law, putting their children in this compromising position. The U.S. government should not take on the responsibility of other people’ s bad decisions.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that parents make bad decisions for their children all the time. In the cases of illegal alien minors (up to age 29 in the revised DREAM Act), the parents took a risk and their children benefited through education and jobs, but the consequences of their actions catch up to them. Their misdeeds are revealed and their kids have to deal with the consequences just as children of American citizens deal with the consequences of their parents’ bad decisions that affect them adversely. Yet, no accountability is affixed on the parents who broke the law to bring their children here.

Too many people fail to realize that “ the land of the freeâ€

I agree with you Southbronx.... The parents know EXACTLY what they are doing They also know that we do not enforce our Immigration laws here, and that Is why they keep coming

One of the most recent SOB stories was about an eighteen yr old that just graduated who came at the age of fifteen. How could this kid not know he/she was an IA?

(Sorry I'm a bit tired and not about to dig that one out.)

I was raised in the Eastern European culture and know of some who are here illegally. They teach their kids not to say certain things and to avoid getting into trouble so they don't get caught by ICE. I have heard parents yell at their kids do you want to have us deported in Russian. If they do that than I am sure other illegals do the same. Heck alot of the hispanic illegals who went to high school with my daughter admitted being here illegally so it is not like they don't know.

Please keep calling against this travesty, today is another day to make a difference!

STAY AWAKE AND CHARGE!!!
