Another bleeding heart/IA hugger idiot:
Will children's DREAM ever come true?

I was recently saddened to learn that the DREAM Act did not receive enough support in the U.S. Senate to continue through the legislative process ("Bill Assisting Children of Immigrants Fails Vote," Oct. 25). The proposed DREAM Act has nothing to do with amnesty but is about giving youth an earned chance at a decent future. This proposed legislation simply would have allowed youth who achieved a specific level of academic success, regardless of the documentation status of their parents, a reasonable opportunity to pursue higher education.

The reality is that today's immigrant children are tomorrow's undocumented residents if the system does not change. Immigrant children, who have grown up here, learned English, attended school and have known no other home. Yet, if they came to this country as a child, they will face the dysfunctional limbo of being outside citizenship in their own country, too.

We have invested in these children: They are our children. So many people say they care about children, and I am left wondering if compassion has an expiration date. Are we willing to sacrifice entire innocent generations while our country is caught up in the midst of reforming a broken and inhumane immigration system?
