Whew! Use The DREAM Act as a WAKE-UP call.

How many of the illegal sympathisers get into a lather when a legal criminal is incarcerated and separated from their children? Are their children responsible for the crimes of their parents? Do they get in-state tuition to the college of their choice? Can they lobby to have the crimes of their parents forgiven so they don't have to be separated? Crime is crime...legal or illegal. The children suffer because of their parents actions. Why are illegals treated favorably?

Exactly how I feel and what I have asked.

It amazes me the people that you the excuse that we shouldn't deport people because they have family here.

What about the legal residents and citizens who have family in prison. Parents in prison away from their family? Cousins? Sons? But, wait, they did the crime, didn't they? Why don't we have the same thought process for those legal residents that we have for illegal immigrants?

There should be no special treatment for illegal immigrants. The logic in that argument is just so idiotic and anti-U.S. citizen or anti-U.S. legal resident. Someone really needs to sit down EVERY person that tries to use that excuse and remind them that almost every legal resident in jail or prison right now is away from their family. They didn't get excused of their crime because someone felt bad that John Doe would be away from his daughter for the rest of her childhood. They didn't tell John Doe that he would get to stay in his city or state and serve his sentence there just so his family can at least see him. No ... they booked him, registered him in the prison system and bussed him to a state far away. But, the illegal immigrant is supposed to be forgiven of their crime or their violation of federal law just so they can stay here and continue to take jobs, education and whatever else.

Yes - and while they demanded free college and high paying jobs just because they showed up here, they have no sympathy for Americans who cannot obtain financial aid nor jobs.

With so many Americans unable to afford the high tuition rates that just keep going higher, it was hard for the illegals to justify why they should expect financial aid over the Americans. Getting smuggled in by the age 16 and then expecting a free ride, free college, high paying jobs, and easy citizenship just doesn't cut it as far as justification.

They went way beyond in-state tuition to the college of their choice. Every single clip I saw of these illegals trying to gain sympathy had them insisting they needed to go to some Ivy League school and be given financial aid to do so. It was the same thing over and over - usually they wanted to be some high paid doctor but needed to have scholarship money that would be denied to American citizens and legal immigrants and given to them instead.

But it didn't just stop at that little elite class of illegals that believes they are entitled to the highest paid professions in this country but every illegal with a GED.

Whatever happened to that notion that illegals are coming here only to take the jobs like cleaning toilets, picking lettuce, that no American would want? It's become clear that they want everything, they think they are too good to pick lettuce and clean toilets, they want the good high paying jobs.
