Why is a foreign group getting to petition our government for rights to continue breaking the rule of law?

Think about how these undocumented students/illegals are effecting Grade Point Averages (GPA's) of American High School Students, now. American student have and are having their class ranking reduced by the illegal students low ranking classes grades being compared to higher more difficulty classes that Americans are taking to get into college.

Did you see all of the comments left---in Spanish? I will email those comments to my congressmen---to show them what we are in for, if this is passed.

On the whitehouse comment website, there are hundreds of American students who are having a hard time affording college, even with grants, loans and in-state tuiton. NO WAY is there any money to fund illegal aliens. I hope laraza makes a huge public splash with this demand, I wonder how many suffering American students will sympathize this time around. Especially if their parents lose jobs and can no longer afford the college payments.

Undocumented Immigrants

Race added that the project remove "significant barriers to the success of immigrant students workers who were brought to the United States at an early age and who have the desire to contribute fully to American society."

The organization called for public support for the initiative with phone calls to senators and representatives to help create the necessary impetus to this legislation. "

"Call your representatives in Congress and Encourage them to sponsor the Dream Act," said La Raza. He also urged the president to endorse Barack Obama and pass this legislation in 2009.

Project Phases

The Dream Act favors students who have no legal papers to stay in the country. Given a temporary residence and, after his studies, may apply for permanent residence andalusia immigration service.

In late October 2007 the Senate rejected a motion to reopen the debate on the Dream Act The proposal was introduced by the leader of the Senate, Harry Reid (D-Nevada), who had the backing of at least 50 of the 100 seats in the Senate.

After the vote achieved 52 votes. The project required a minimum of 60 to be approved.

Six years debating

The Dream Act was first introduced in Congress in 2003. It allows undocumented students who were reared in the United States and graduated from secondary Americans have the opportunity to pursue their higher studies and take a path to citizenship.

Since that year over 400 thousand of the best students in this country have graduated from high school with no hope of making their higher education, "he said in late July 2007 La Raza.

"We can not let this continue to be wasted talent. Now it's time for Congress to approve it and allow the tremendous potential that these students have to be used by our communities and our country," said the entity.

Only title

Fostered by the Dream Act would make the residence only if they obtain a degree and if during the passage through the university maintain the same level of qualifications obtained during secondary school.

In 2007 at least three failed attempts, only in the Senate for approving the project.

The Dream Act does not allow undocumented immigrants to receive financial aid for higher education, but in case some of them through the project can legalize their status, could have access to loans and programs, said Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Illinois), one of the authors of the project.

The project is supported, as well as La Raza, by The American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), the country's largest union, as well as dozens of institutions that uphold the rights of immigrants.

Details of the plan

The Dream Act would allow undocumented students about 65 thousand high school graduates to adjust their status to legal resident conditioned by six years.

In addition:

Temporary resident visas are granted only if the student entered the U.S. before the age of 16.
The student is encouraged to have lived in the United States over the five years preceding the adoption of the Act.
The student must possess good moral character, demonstrate good behavior and have no criminal record.
Students benefit gain legal permanent residence if, during the 6 years to get a temporary residence college degree, and during passage through the university maintain the same level of qualifications obtained during secondary school.
They must also serve at least two years into armed forces or perform 910 hours of volunteer work in programs approved by the department (ministry) of Homeland Security (DHS).

Race asked to call Congressmen

Race doesn't have congressmen and has no right to influence American policies. Our Congress needs to remember who elected them and who will be harmed by the Dream Act. Washington has forgotten that they all work for us.

Volunteers needed to Distribute!!!!! Please help!!!

The Dream Act has been discussed several times in Congress since 2003

Wrong! It's been voted down for the last 6 years and sometimes more than one time in a year. It's been defeated, it's been stripped by amendment, and it's been killed over and over again because it is amnesty, its rewarding illegal aliens and it's unfair to student visa holders and American citizens.

The Dream Act would allow undocumented students about 65 thousand high school graduates to adjust their status to legal resident conditioned by six years.

Amnesty for 65,000 illegal aliens and counting. This is not a future projected number, those kids are still in public schools.

It's not just Amnesty, it's Voters!

Since that year over 400 thousand of the best students in this country have graduated from high school with no hope of making their higher education, "he said in late July 2007 La Raza.

What they mean is Half a Million Voters.
