The Dream for Some, A Nightmare for the Rest

Many leaders of both parties in Congress are pushing for the DREAM Act, which would grant reduced tuition and legal permanent residency to possibly millions of students who have been in the United States illegally. Why is the DREAM Act unfair, irresponsible and disastrous if it is adopted?

College tuition has skyrocketed in recent years. Many Americans cannot afford college or have taken out student loans. Should the United States neglect its own citizens and subsidize the education of students who are here illegally? Proponents of the DREAM Act argue that parents of illegal students have paid taxes and that the United States should invest in them. The hard truth is that most illegal workers, due to their low-incomes, do not pay enough taxes to offset the cost of educating their children in American public grade schools. This cost can exceed $9,500 per child per year if the student receives the so-called bilingual education, not to mention the costs of other social services.

Furthermore, rewarding illegal foreign nationals can only lead to higher illegal immigration. The misnamed “Immigration Reform and Control Actâ€

Very good editorial! Thanks for posting.

This article should wake America up. We should not be awarding benefits and future citizenship to LAWBREAKERS. We have to stop this out of control train before it completely wrecks OUR COUNTRY!

Latin America has 37 BILLIONAIRES!!! I think it's time for them to take care of their problems. We cannot afford to SUBSIDIZE THEIR poor anymore.

Great article and find, Populist. If this doesn't get your blood to boil people, you must be dead. So, if your not dead (and if you're reading this I'll assume you are not)...get on the phone ALIPAC'ers and fire up the fax machine and the computer...CONTACT YOUR SENATORS and tell them to JUST SAY NO!
