letter I sent to Fienstien
I understand in part what you say, however, the giving of green cards to these students will in turn let their newly earned status to get their illegal parents green cards, which in turn will be rewarding their illegal behavior. I also think that since people are mortgaging their houses to send their kids to school, they shouldn't be punished because they are citizens. The illegal students already got a free education on the backs of American tax payers, so what are they and you crying about. We have a lot of talented an smart AMERICAN CITIIZENS that shouldn't be punished because they are AMERICAN CITIZENS. And I repeat my statement that I have written to you time and time again. You were elected to speak for us, the American people and unless things have changed, majority rules and it is your job to see that we, the majority, are represented. We didn't elect you to push your views thru, we elected you to push OUR views thru. Alice Gregory

FEINSTEIN IS A HARD NUT TO CRACK. I WROTE TO HER TOO. HERE IS THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED:
Thank you for your letter regarding the "Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act," commonly known as the DREAM Act. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to respond.
Unfortunately, we have different points of view on this issue. I am disappointed that the Senate failed to pass the DREAM Act when it came up for a vote in the Senate on October 24, 2007. Although I voted in favor of the bill, the final tally of 52-44 fell shy of the 60 votes needed to cut off debate on the bill. Nevertheless, I believe it is in the nation's best interest to provide talented students who have embraced the American dream with a path toward becoming contributing, law-abiding members of our society.
Many foreign born children, through no fault of their own, find themselves with no legal immigration status in our country. These children have lived in the United States most of their lives and attended elementary and high school here, but are unable to go to college or enlist in the military because of their immigration status. The DREAM Act would grant permanent resident status to these deserving youth so they can further their education or serve in our nation's military. I have included a copy of my statement on this issue for your review.
Again, thank you for writing. Please know that your concerns are important to me, and I will keep them in mind as we continue to debate immigration reform proposals in the 110th Congress. I hope you will continue to write on matters of importance to you. Best regards.
Statement of Senator Dianne Feinstein
In Support of the DREAM ACT
October 24, 2007
I deeply regret that the Senate did not vote to consider the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act holds great promise for youngsters who came to the United States as children. Many of these young people know no other country as their own. And I believe we should give them a chance to succeed.
These young adults were brought to this country as undocumented children many years ago, and they have stayed in school and out of trouble. They are dedicated to attending college or serving in our nation's military.
We must do all we can to encourage these hard working young people to get a good education to fulfill the American Dream. And the DREAM Act does just that.
It would permit students to become permanent residents if they came here as children, are long-term U.S. residents, have good moral character, and attend college or enlist in the military for at least two years. Let me tell you about one college student in California, Nayely Arreola, who would benefit from the DREAM Act.
Nayely came to the United States with her parents and a younger brother in 1986. Her father began working in the California's agriculture fields. The family made their home here, working hard to succeed. She has three other siblings age 15 and younger, who are all United States citizens.
Nayely is an excellent student. She was the first member of her family to graduate from high school, and today she attends Fresno Pacific University on full academic scholarship. Demonstrating her student leadership, Nayely has been elected President of her class.
However, she and her family were the victims of a negligent immigration attorney who has since been disbarred. But because of these shoddy legal services, her status remains in limbo.
Nayely has demonstrated a strong commitment to the ideals of citizenship in this country. She has worked hard to achieve her full potential both in her academic endeavors and through her dedication to community service.
I believe it is in our nation's interest to provide talented students like Nayely Arreola the incentive to take the path toward being a responsible and law-abiding member of our society.
I fear the alternative would not only dim the hopes of a gifted youth, it would diminish our potential as a compassionate society."
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
