Thread: Immi. Lawyers Dream Act argument letter

This is American Immigration Lawyers Association letter that they have to send thru their website.

May be helpful to see what opposition argues so that it can be refuted.

Letter:

I am writing to urge you to support the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act of 2007, formerly S. 774, that is being offered as an amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization bill, by Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Richard Lugar (R-IN).

This bipartisan legislation will allow immigrant students who have grown up in this country, graduated from high school, and have no criminal record, to go to college and legalize their immigration status. The young people who would benefit from this legislation have done nothing wrong. Yet they are being severely punished.

The DREAM Act recognizes that some of our best and brightest students are prevented from reaching their potential. Thousands of young people each year are prevented from pursuing their dreams of going to college because they have no immigration status and, without the option of in-state tuition, lack sufficient resources.

The vast majority of these children were brought here by their parents at an age when they had no say in the matter. These innocent children have managed to succeed against all odds and are an important part of communities all across this nation. They include class valedictorians, straight-A students, and others headed in the right direction. Yet, the road to achieving their dreams is blocked. For others, the recognition that they have no future causes them to give up and drop out. These children deserve a better chance.

I urge you to support this important legislation.

They left out the CHA-CHING!!! It will bring in big bucks for them.

If you are in the United States (Whether 1 day old or 100 years old)
you are subject to arrest and deportation and no excuse in the world will change that.In other words, what part of illegal don't you LAWYERS understand? Our American children deserve a better chance than any illegal children.

They include class valedictorians, straight-A students, and others headed in the right direction.

Could you tell me which school awards students who get a GED with valedictorian status? Under the "dream" act students who get a "good enough diploma" still qualify as much as those one or two straight A students (out of how many million).

Pass the barf bag.

You could probably count the number of these on one hand! On the other hand there will be millions of barely functional illegals getting green cards.

perhaps if they fill out the necessary paper work, they can become legal.

Just another way for them to jump in front of others who have been waiting YEARS for legal status. So absolutely ridiculous.

They have no logic so they have to ome up with these stupid statements . Just think they are recruiting our young to think this way too .
