Thread: DREAM Act students..hope OBAMA will support them

Immigrant Students, DREAM Act Supporters Hoping Obama Will Take Up Their Cause
By Diego Graglia, FI2W web editor

As the much-anticipated presidential inauguration of Barack Obama approaches, one group of immigrant activists in particular is feverishly pushing for their cause to be heard by the incoming president. They are young undocumented immigrant students who grew up in the U.S. and their supporters, who are hoping that the new administration will push for passage of the DREAM Act, a law that would allow the students to become U.S. citizens provided they meet certain conditions.

Their cause got an extra bit of support through an online contest organized by Change.org, a social action network (not to be confused with the president-elect’s website Change.gov.)

For the last few weeks, the site hosted an online vote to select “the best ten ideas for change,â€

Everybody should use the link and comment!
Here's mine.

What? No mention of how Change.org removed the idea ‘Enforce exsisting Immigration Laws’ when it entered the top 3 ideas? It probably would have reached #1 but this biased .org had to follow its agenda by muting the voice of opposition.

Americans FIRST!

FIX THE 14TH AMENDMENT ON ANCHOR B-A-B-I-E-S, no more.

How many American citizen students have been cheated out of college due to undocumented Grade Point Averages of illegal students being counted into the cumulative class GPAs. [quote]Mexican nationals have every right and opportunity to enroll in world-class universities in Mexico (like the National Autonomous University) for FREE? For the so-called “undocumented studentsâ€

I've been thinking about all these illegal alien sob stories...the"poor children who suffer through no fault of their own" , "separating families" blah, blah, BLAH. My answer? WHO CARES? NOT OUR PROBLEM, NOW GET OUT!!!!

To their sympathizers I ask this: What about the MILLIONS of "God's Children" who suffered through no fault of their own? What about the Millions who've been "separated" from LIFE, much less their families?!?!

I'm talking about the aborted BABIES, who have been killed in this country. A country who expects us to welcome illegal aliens, while thinking nothing of infanticide?


I will support illegal immigration they day that abortion is eradicted in America.

I made a second entry to the comments:

NYC has six specialized High Schools that are TOP quality and require an admission test. My youngest son scored a 477 on said test but did not get an offer. A score of 470 usually is enough to get into Brooklyn Tech but this year it was raised to 480 so I enquired about any programs that might allow him in. Well there is the 'Bridge Program' that allows every Middle School in Brooklyn to enter 15 students into a six week summer class that if passed gets the student an admission. It's prioritized though, first accepting students who have lived in the USA less than two years and secondly accepting students who speak english as a second language. Upon further inquiry I found out that immigration status is NEVER checked. Am I supposed to feel good that my son missed out on going to BT while so many Illegal Alien children are getting this preferential treatment?

I too have a dream! That one day all the children of U S citizens will get a fair chance to get a college education and without it being stolen by politicians and given away to illegals just so the politicians can buy votes!
