Thread: Illegals In the US shouldn't be rewarded by the DREAM ACT

Juneau Empire Sunday, December 05, 2010
After reading all of the information about the DREAM Act the U.S. Senate wants to push through and how much money would be paid by each taxpayer for each illegal immigrant, I have one question to ask.

What does that really say to all of those people who did come here legally and went through the process of waiting and going by the laws to become honorable citizens of this country? Looking at it, it says go ahead and come right in my home and I'll give you money, education, health care, whatever you need at everyone else's expense and all I will ask of you is you vote for me.

I mean, wouldn't it be easier to just declare totally open borders and just let everyone come and go as they please and forget the paper trail? I mean I can understand the administration wanting to go to such lengths to make it look good so that when and if the bill would pass, all those people will be so grateful that they'll all join the Democratic Party and make it a landslide victory for President Barack Obama in 2012.

I never had a problem with people wanting to come to this country, but I do have a problem with them doing it illegally and getting rewarded generously for it, because I have many friends that came to this country and two of them just finally became citizens last year after 10 years of waiting and going through the process. But that's just it. They went through the process. I think the whole thing is a major slap in the face to every immigrant who came to this country and went through the proper procedures and waiting process to become a citizen, which I think is something that should be earned and not given so easily. All other countries don't allow things like this, why do we?

What makes this country great is that everyone is allowed to have an opinion even if we hate them for it.

So now you know where I stand. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right and as such, you should be made to earn it. This isn't a buy one, get one free deal.

I don't think so no amnesty

No amnesty. As a legal immigrant I am sick and tired seeing illegals getting more and having more rights than those who come here legally. As I went through the system I can personally say what it is like. Even hispanics who came here legally often will make comments about their immigration experience and say no amnesty after the sob stories.

There is a gal who posts in here who is a legal international student from the Ukraine, she has expressed a lot of dismay with all of this. She also writes articles and draws her own illustrations. She had an illustration up in here that was all too true. On one side of the illustration you see a European student practically jumping through hoops, filling out all sorts of paper work and meeting with a government official. On the other you see Pedro swimming across the river and going straight to the college where they welcome him with a big smile and a welcome sign.

If your senator or house rep. is YES on this list call them first and then call the rest, I called every number on this list in 2hrs. and 25mins. and got thru to 95% of they're offices PLEASE don't stop calling a few of these yes guys on Friday are now "undecided" so call till the cows come home!
