If our Congress would work as hard on behalf of the AMERICAN people as they do the illegal invaders, this country might be in a little better shape!

Disgusting!!

Oh puke!

They have been sneaking around behind our backs.


Ask Your Congressperson to Support the DREAM Act!
To: the President of the United States, Members of the U.S. Senate and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives

Started by: Prerna Lal

Each year, about 65,000 U.S.-raised students who would qualify for the DREAM Act graduate from high school. These include honor roll students, star athletes, talented artists, homecoming queens, and aspiring teachers, doctors, and U.S. soldiers. They are young people who have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives and desire only to call this country their home. Even though they were brought to the U.S. years ago as children, they face unique barriers to higher education, are unable to work legally in the United States, and often live in constant fear of detection by immigration authorities.

Our immigration laws currently have no mechanism to consider the special equities and circumstances of such students. The DREAM Act would eliminate this flaw. It is un-American to indefinitely and irremediably punish immigrant youth for decisions made by adults many years ago. By enacting the DREAM Act, Congress would legally recognize what is de facto true: these young people belong here. DREAM Act students should be allowed to get on with their lives.

If Congress fails to act this year, another entire class of outstanding, law-abiding high school students will graduate without being able to plan for the future, and some will be removed from their homes to countries they barely know. This tragedy will cause America to lose a vital asset: an educated class of promising immigrant students who have demonstrated a commitment to hard work and a strong desire to be contributing members of our society.

Let's bring these students out of the shadows, out from underground. Tell President Obama and Congress to pass the DREAM Act in 2009. Talented students and their families living in fear of raids and ripped apart by deportations, cannot afford to wait for change.

Sign the petition below and get involved here.

.•This petition ends on Aug 31.

If only the MSM told the other side of the coin how 350,000 illegals with free college educations would be competing with the Children of hard working American citizens for the same jobs.The traitors in Washington DC that are so worried about every one except American citizens need to go.

And by the way non citizens do not have representation the last time I checked.You got your free High School diploma now go back where you belong.

Prerna Lal is an illegal alien herself. Acting as an "agent" (i.e advocating before Congress) for foreign principals while you are one yourself is grounds for deportation.

And then there is the grade point average in Senior Year of High School.
If a grade point average is greater for one students doesn't mean the higher grade point is college bound or even taking harder courses. U S Citizens have been cheated out of College due to dumbies in an unfair system of grade point averages permitting non college bound students
(undocumented immigrants) to have a better grade point average somehow.

All the schools grade point averages are put together, so someone taking a college level courses compared to lower level 12th grade courses will probably be under so much more pressure and the grade points can end up being the same, but if the lower level 12th grade courses loaded person can get that little sweet advantage it does knock that more prepared college bound American child/citizen out by not being in the
top 5%, 10% or even 20% of the graduation class. So the America Child/Citizen does not get into preferred college or scholarships for their hard work!

LUMPING ALL GRADE POINT AVERAGES TOGETHER IS NOT WISE! and
I am about 99.9% sure the school system are lumping illegal
immgrants grades, non-college bound, and the very bright
student all together into one combined grade point average group.

Who is most likely to lose above? and Who definitely has the most to gain by lumping GPA?

Prerna Lal is a perfect example of someone acting as an "agent" for foreign principals. As far as I can see none of the undocumented students Prerna Lal has approached elected officials about is legally a US resident. Therefore by definition each one is a "foreign principal."

I wish this nightmare would just go away.

The Dream Act: Educating the Immigration Debate
by Michael Aparicio — last modified May 31, 2009 08:09 PM

Amidst continued xenophobic rhetoric in the face of the swine flu epidemic, the U.S. Congress quietly considers a radically refreshing approach to immigration.

Illegal Immigrants? Americans? How should we distinguish?
As pandemic concerns and misinformation persist, ignorance continues to fuel some who treat Mexican immigration as a criminal issue.

The most recently publicized attempt was by a Boston radio personality who replaced meaningful debate with malicious hyperbolic carcicatures, calling Mexicanos exporters of "women with mustaches and VD," "primitives," "leaches," and "criminaliens."

As I noted in my last commentary, such Pandemic Paranoia and Xenophobic Opportunism has dehumanizing consequences. Suddenly my son's beloved abuelita, his grandmother, is a leach and primitive to whom we should close our borders.

And even when xenophobia is not explicitly stated, reducing immigration to a criminal issue risks xenophobic consequences. Imagine my mother-in-law's fate if we follow this 2008 campaign ad's vague proposals:

Such a future seemingly is being pursued in Maricopa County, Arizona. When state voters passed an anti-smuggling law, Maricopa’s sheriff decided to use the law to arrest the smuggled along with the smugglers. Despite the law’s co-sponsor openly insisting the law was not an attempt to criminalize immigrants, Maricopa’s District Attorney advised the sheriff that immigrants could be arrested for co-conspiracy. Then, even though the District Attorney’s office was unable to convince any court that an immigrant had knowingly conspired to break the law, the sheriff continued to arrest immigrants, saying “I'm not going to turn these people over to federal authorities so they can have a free ride back to Mexico.â€
