The FACT that what was being discussed went over your head is hardly a personal attack. And even it was, it wasn't being "veiled" as I flat out said it went over your head.
And making an irrelevant comment is hardly "calling out".
Let it go.
And to call someone who was brought to this country as a child, and hopes to gain an education a "loser" is arrogant and egotistic, at best.
The child in question; if it had any class (once age 18+) would willingly leave the USA-------------my opinion that said DREAMie is a loser still stands.

Yes, but what gives your opinion weight?
You have the luxury of at least talking about class.
I think most would think of bettering their own lives rather than worrying about someone like you calling them a "loser" or talking about "class".
I don't think certain people have a right to call someone trying to improve their life a loser. Illegal immigration wrong? Sure. But to call someone brought here as a child, and struggling to do the best in life? Nah.
At least not without saying why that person thinks he is a better person than the one he calls a "loser".
Do we? Then how do you feel about how we're importing educated foreigners all the time from Asia(Taiwan, India, Japan) to do high end jobs here?
How do you feel about all the foreign students getting educated here, and then taking that education back home instead of putting their skills to good use here, like the "DREAMIES" want to?
I also oppose the H1-B Visa program, unless there is a bona fide shortage of qualified U.S. employees. The fraud associated with this program is well-documented, and there’s even a video of a law firm instructing an employer on “legal” strategies to avoid hiring U.S. citizens. It’s appalling. I have always stated that our country is being destroyed not only by massive illegal immigration, but also by outsourcing and insourcing. They ALL displace U.S. workers and depress wages; and they are ALL fueled by greed.
There is nothing wrong with foreign students seeking an education in this country; and there is no obligation for them to remain here upon graduation. They are not requesting financial assistance from U.S. taxpayers, and they are required to pay higher foreign student rates. My ex came here on a student visa, with no intentions of making this him home. He was simply seeking a quality education, and also wanted to experience life in the US. What’s wrong with that? Likewise, many of our citizens choose to attend college in foreign countries. I have a friend who attended Oxford, and loved the experience; but, the U.S. is his home.
The DREAMies don’t belong here. They are illegal aliens, and I don’t care who brought them here, or at what age. If they feel as though their lives are in limbo, they need to realize their parents put them in this predicament, not our so-called “broken” immigration laws. Instead of sitting around whining and having a pity party, they need to appreciate the educational opportunities they have been generously afforded courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, and return to their countries of origin. Furthermore, you couldn’t find a more obnoxious group of ingrates. For the umpteenth time, we owe them NOTHING.
BTW, they self-identify as DREAMies and DREAMers, so there is no need for quotation marks.
Okay just because some people are brought here at a young age does not mean that they are going to be or are criminals!!! they got here because of their parents searching for a better life, i mena im sure ur parents would have taken u out of a country for a better life. but now that they are here, they only know and have grown to only know the "american life". they shouldn't be punished because it was not their choice. i do not speak for the criminals or those with bad backgrounds, but for those looking to succeed in life. so for those misjudging the world, not everyone is a criminal just because they are not citizens. they are just here for a better life.Read more: [url]http://www.city-data.com/forum/illegal-immigration/662155-should-dream-act-passed-7.html#ixzz0T6cZzsQO[/url]

My parents DID bring me to the US for a better life... but they did it legally. That's the big difference. If I found out that my parents had brought me here illegally as a child, I would go back to Germany in a heart beat because I don't belong here.
To me, this seems simple. I still have many relatives living in Germany, do these people not have any where they came from?

Oh well.
Try what you just described in Mexico-----------your illegal ass would be booted out.
For those who say no...... i understand where you are coming from but please understand me. i'm from England and was unwillingly moved here when i was 12 but since then i have grown custom to the American life, i have many friends and a typical life. however i have limited options for higher learning and all i'm asking for is a chance. because i know i can give something back to this country if i'm just given a shot.

Many American lawbreakers violate the law in search of a better life, but that doesn't excuse their lawbreaking. Also, don't try to tell us what our parents would have done. Choosing to violate the law is a personal decision, and not everyone who is dealing with a particular problem makes the same decision.
Yes. Of course. We should also try to abolish the whole in-state out-state tuition as well... Anything to increase educational attainment is a good thing.
