Orrin Hatch's anti-American DREAM Act gets closer to passing

From "Hatch's bill for tuition breaks for undocumented immigrants bypasses floor vote":

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, has inserted his "DREAM Act" into the budget authorization for the Justice Department, bypassing opposition from Republican leaders who have refused to schedule a floor vote on the measure to permit states to give college tuition breaks to illegal immigrants.

The move could mean the bill benefiting undocumented alien children eventually becomes law as part of the larger two-year spending blueprint for the Justice Department, rather than trying to survive a contentious vote as a stand-alone measure...

This legislation is explicitly anti-American. From this:


[With the DREAM Act, Orrin Hatch] and his colleagues are literally taking opportunities and tuition assistance away from the children of citizens and giving them to illegal aliens... Supporters of this bill are unabashedly placing the interests of illegal aliens above American families who have paid taxes and played by the rules..."

i'm am also an example of this unfair matter. I was brought to the u.s when i was about 5 years of age. I grew up in a poor neighborhood where gangs and violance took place almost every day.
I somehow managed to stay out of gangs and in school to better my future for my self and family. I graduated from high school and went straight into college to become a firefighter. In my second year of college i did alot of thinking of how i was going to obtaing a job that requires a legal 9 digit number. I droped college for some time so i can atleast get some kind of income from any other low paying job. In my case, options don't really come by to often so i got to make the best of what ever i get. i recently just got back into college and trying to make the best out of anything. I just really incourage anyone and everyone to do anything in their power to help make the Dream Act Law a chance for kids coming up in life with the same problem.

i would say if the government having a problem to secure this country of not letting student to be legalized they might think they will be used by terrorist who are here also then have background check thouroughly and those who are not treat to the country are those only will granted green card for there good too .ihave fours children we come here as H1b visa until it epxpired bec of 911 and now they are hanging for college ihope they pass the bills AAAAAASAP

yes! it's not fair for students to be deprived of a higher education just because they were born in the wrong place. I am an example of the many students suffering. I, now 18 years old have been living in the United States since i was 3 and I'm still not a legal resident. During senior year, my dreams were shattered when the chances for attending college were not loooking so good due to my immigration status, and my low income family. I am proud to say that i am currently attending college with the scholarships given to me for my academic achievement. I graduated number 10 in my class, volunteered in my community all the time and was involved in extracurricular activities all throughout high school. I am very lucky for getting these scholarships, but what about the illegal students who aren't so lucky,but still have high dreams? I have high dreams and I know that i will soon get my double major in Biology and Criminal Justice. But what if i'm still not a legal resident once i'm out of college? All my hard work for nothing. All of my hard work thrown away just because of a nine-digit number. It's not fair! I haven't done anything wrong!

The quetion is, if the dream act is not passed, then what is to come of the lives of children whom were raised in the USA, but didn't decide to come here illegaly? They are left with nothing. These children were educated in the US. It isn't fair to them that they weren't given a choice or a chance!

You're concealing the aggression on the net taxpayer, the traitorous diversion of the citizens tax money to foreign criminals, and many other bad effects which would follow from such a program. Educating the 3rd world is not a source of good things that would justify the use of aggression. Being ungenerous with foreign criminals is not bad at all.

Just so you know...

What the DREAM Act does: it allows students who were brought to the U.S. years ago as undocumented children, but who since then have stayed in school and out of trouble, to apply for temporary legal status upon high school graduation. The status can be made permanent if they go on to college or to serve in the military.

What, exactly, is unamerican about that? An example is Griselda, who was brought here when she was 2 years old and who has excelled in her South Carolina school. Should she be punished for that for her entire life, or should there be a way she can clear up her immigration status upon entering adulthood? Do we not want the things she can give us if she is able to complete her education?

Did the Mormons of Utah send a drunkard or a wastrel to represent them in the Senate?

It is obvious that a plan as traitorous as this, must travel in deep darkness, and be subject to no debate. We're being kept afloat by upwards of $500 billion a year in dollar purchases by the bank of Japan, and these dipsomaniacs imagine that they will be allowed to borrow the money to send the 3rd world to college? Welcome to the next Argentina.
