The Dream Act

The Dream Act is an explicitly anti-American federal bill that would grant a conditional amnesty to large numbers of illegal aliens and would allow them to attend public universities at the in-state rate. As a side effect, it would take college educations away from U.S. citizens.

College educations and discounts are a finite resource, and there will always be more demand for those slots and discounts than there are slots and discounts that are available. The mathematics of that are inescapable: any slot or discount given to an illegal alien is one that's taken away from a U.S. citizen. See this video for an illustration of the process.

The best way to fight this and similar laws is to go to the public appearance of a politician who supports the law and ask them this or a similar question:

You support the DREAM Act, which would let those covered under the law go to college at the in-state rate. However, college discounts are a finite resource, and there will always be more applicants than there are discounts that are available. That means that those covered under the bill you support would be able to take college discounts away from U.S. citizens. In other words, because of the bill you support, former illegal aliens would be able to keep some U.S. citizens from going to college. What would you say to a U.S. citizen who can't go to college because of the bill you support?

Then, upload video of their response to video sharing sites and publicize it.

Some objections they might come up with include trying to pretend that the bill wouldn't have that effect. In that case, offer your own version of the animation on the video above; talking down to them while doing that could be quite effective.

Another objection they might raise is to discuss how some of those covered under the bill are valedictorians and so on. Ask them if there are any minimal academic standards built into the bill, and ask them if they're saying that all those covered under the bill are exceptional students and better qualified than Americans.

Note also that similar laws are already on the books in several states; since states cannot grant amnesty the state versions simply allow current illegal aliens to attend college at the in-state rate. Those with such laws include California and Texas, and they're occasionally referred to using a similar name. The national version has been supported and/or co-sponsored by, among many others, Barack Obama, John McCain, and Hillary Clinton. Various media sources have published an endless series of PIIPPs, puff pieces that openly advocate for the bill without revealing its downsides.

Another downside is the message it would send: potential illegal aliens would receive a very clear message that they can bring their children here, assured of a wide range of benefits.
