TX/HARVARD-GUILT GENERATES FRESHMEN SUPPORT FOR DREAM ACT
Baker states that it hardly seems fair that the ILLEGALS should have their dreams denied. How about "some compassion people" for the resources stolen by the ILLEGALS to educate their ILLEGAL children and Anchors that could have been utilized by the LEGAL children of United States Citizens. The Blanket Amnesty of the 80's is the main reason today's ILLEGALS expect and DEMAND another BLANKET AMNESTY and if it is granted the ILLEGALS will continue to come to steal our resources and DEMANDING another BLANKET AMNESTY.
How would Baker's ILLEGAL classmates been able to be accepted at Harvard had they not been educated in the United States utilizing United States and their so called "home state's" Taxpayer money again resources stolen by the ILLEGALS that could have been utilized by the LEGAL children of United States Citizens. These students should go back to their HOME countries and stop draining our resources that could be used to assist students who are United States Citizens and not the ILLEGALS. Then just maybe more United States Citizens would be among the 2000 accepted at Harvard! Just follow the money! The Elitist Politicians and their Elitist Political Contributors want to continue to have United States Citizens pay the benefits for their ILLEGALS while they continue to have their BOTTOM LINES increased at the taxpayer's expense.
The Real DREAM Act would send these students back to their HOME countries and stop draining our resources that could be used to assist United States Citizens and NOT the ILLEGALS and their Anchors! Just follow the money!
DREAM Act offers right to pursue American dream

I was fortunate to be born and raised in the United States, and I know that when I graduate college, my hard work may be rewarded with good job prospects and a future full of possibilities. Unfortunately, the nearly 2.5 million undocumented youth living in the United States today will not be able to say the same when they earn a college degree. Without a Social Security number, even a diploma from an Ivy League university is essentially worthless in this country.
It hardly seems fair that my peers, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for many years and were brought to America by their parents when they were young, should have their dreams denied when they finally graduate and look to enter the work force.
In 2001, the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, co-written by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, was introduced into Congress to address this issue. If passed, the DREAM Act would allow undocumented students who have graduated from a U.S. high school a pathway to legal residence and citizenship after earning a college degree or serving two years in the U.S. military.
Surely a bill that promotes and rewards military service and higher education by allowing undocumented students to pursue their dreams should be a safe and favorable ground in the gray area of immigration reform. It is fair. It allows kids who have finished high school and who have been in this country for more than five years a chance to give back to America by either serving in the U.S. military or contributing to the economy as an educated member of the work force. It encourages positive behavior. Undocumented students will have more incentive to stay in school and display “upright moral characterâ€
