If Santiago Garcia has to realize his dream of graduating from college with a degree in design, not with the help of Kay Hagan, the Democratic senator from the state of North Carolina.

Hagan came to Asheville Farmers Market last week to discuss the future of micro farmers but Garcia and a group of young people from the mountains wanted to talk about their future as college students.

Arriving late to find the presence of Hagan in Asheville on Wednesday, the youth quickly organized a peaceful demonstration to convince the reason Hagan to enable it to support a bill that would give permanent residency to undocumented youth graduating from universities, higher education, or fulfilling his military service.

This measure is known by its acronym in English, the DREAM Act

After the departure of Hagan, Garcia and his friends do not give the appearance of thinking that had been expressed in vain.
"Keep trying. Do not give up, "said Sandra Maldonado, a student of third year of high school in Asheville Enka High School.

Garcia, who graduated from McDowell High School in Marion in 2009, said he came to find out ...

Hagan's visit to Asheville last night, so he moved to Asheville in his car just minutes before the arrival of Hagan outdoor market located on Biltmore Avenue.

Hispanic leaders meet with Obama to solicit support for the immigration reform bill

By Agencia EFE - 12 hours ago

Washington, Sept. 15 (EFE) .- Hispanic leaders of Congress said today that will meet tomorrow with President Barack Obama to ask his support for immigration reform bill that Senator Bob Menendez later this month to legalize "millions of people contributing to the country."

During an ecumenical service at a Lutheran church behind the Capitol, lawmakers endorsed the request of hundreds of civic, religious and union of 25 states to a "relief, reform and respect" for the immigrant community.

At the meeting with Obama, tomorrow afternoon, participate Menendez and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (IL) and Nydia Velázquez (New York), who also leads the "Hispanic Caucus" in Congress (a group of 23 Hispanic legislators.)

"We can not be second-class citizens, we accept that status and we will fight" for comprehensive immigration reform, said Menendez, who was cheered with chants of "Yes we can!".

The White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, told reporters today that the Obama supports the "Dream Act" and hopes that by working together with Congress, there is progress in this area.

"None of that will replace what has to happen from a holistic perspective to address the issues surrounding immigration reform," said Gibbs.

Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, said that immigration reform is a matter of concern to U.S. national security and that the current economic crisis "is not a reason to oppose" it.

The senator did not say when it will submit the draft immigration reform bill in the Senate but his office said it would be "later this month."

Moreover, he and other lawmakers applauded the Democratic majority leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, included as an amendment to a defense spending bill next week, the "Dream Act" for the legalization of most of undocumented students in U.S..

Immigration reform was a campaign promise of President Obama in 2008 and, given the current political climate ahead of the Nov. 2 election, lawmakers now are betting that the "Dream Act" is a "bonus" for a possible comprehensive immigration reform.

"We've been down this road for some time and has been difficult. We have not reached our final destination," said Menendez, indicating that the Senate vote on the "Dream Act" reveal "who are on the side of students' .

The "Dream Act" was supported by 38 Democrats, 12 Republicans and two independents when he submitted unsuccessfully to vote in the Senate in 2007.

Now, neither the "Dream Act" and immigration reform have the support of Republicans, and Gutierrez incited activists to press for the opposition to support both projects.

On Tuesday, the Republican minority leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, expressed concern that the defense spending bill includes extraneous material to the issues of homeland defense.

But the "Dream Act" includes among its requirements for obtaining permanent residency for undocumented students serving military or go to college, entered the U.S. before 16 years of age and have at least five years of stay in the country.

During the event, activists and religious leaders at the altar placed posters with the faces of immigrants and candles for the 1,100 illegal immigrants, on average, are deported to the U.S. daily.

"They are not just statistics, not a mere election issue ... it is our families, our neighbors," said the Rev. Jim Wallis, president of the pro-immigrant "Sojourners."

The activists were planning to go to the offices of Sens. John McCain, Orrin Hatch, Lindsey Graham and McConnell, asking for their support to the "Dream Act."

They undertook to continue a national campaign for reform, including a rally on October 2 in Washington. .

This is the only country I know where Illegal Felons can demand "rights" and "entitlements" without doing the work. I am ashamed that my elected officials even pander to this kind of terrorism. Every hard working American should be ashamed...and vote the bum's out!!!
