Title: "Traps" to recruit latinos.

The Asociation of Teachers of the Raza (A.R.E.), denounced the "Dream Act" as a danger to the latino community because of its military content. "It is a mortal trap for the mayority of latino students recruited by military groups" their members anounced.

A.R.E. anounced its demands in which its first was its denouncing of the Dream Act as a conspiracy by the U.S. government to recruit undocumented students, specificaly latinos.

Second, it challenged groups who support the Dream Act to support it after the military provisions are modified.

Third, they sent a clear message to the Senators to oppose the Dream Act by voting against it.

Among those in the group opposing the Dream Act were Miguel Zavala from UCLA, and Jorge Mariscal, profestor of chicano studies and member of Azteca Warrior Peace Project.

Members of A.R.E. are upset with Senator Durbin for making comments in his presentation of the Dream Act. Comments such as "they are predetermined to join the military", "they have no other means of going to a university", and the fact that Sen. Durbin even used data from the Rand Corporation which asures that 45% of hispanic men and 31% of women between the ages of 16 and 21 will surely become part of the military.
