Thread: Pushing the Dream Act again

They are gearing up to push the Dream Act again. Here is a web site where they are collecting signatures to present to the next U.S. president on Inauguration Day on January 20, 2009

[i]“[color=brown]Sign a Federal and Youth D.R.E.A.M. Act petitions below and be part of the 15 million signatures to represent the 15 million undocumented immigrants.â€

Wait a minute I thought there were ONLY 12 million! Oh maybe them mean 12 million illegal kids?

It should read:

[color=darkred]“Sign a Federal and Youth D.R.E.A.M. Act petitions below and be part of the 15 million signatures to represent the 15 million undocumented immigrants.â€

The grammer is horrible!

From the site:

FACTS

Approximately 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States as of 2005
• Over 3 million undocumented immigrants who are under the age of 18
• 2 million U.S. born children with at least one undocumented parent
• Less than half of undocumented immigrants came across the U.S./Mexican border without detection
• Over 94% of the 18 and over undocumented males work compared to 83% of 18 and over native-born males.
• There is only one earth of which every human being is trying to survive in.

but the illegals cannot sign the petitions themselves. Only registered voters can do that, right?
