Really irks you to see that there are other different points of view on this issue huh?
Actually, speaking for myself what is irritating is that those anti-American, anti-law's views expressed can't be defended by those who hold them but we have to hear them anyway.

No, not at all. We are all entitled to our opinion. However, many have formed an opinion based on deception. If the entire truth were told, few would even consider supporting the Nightmare Act. Why do you think the sponsors only emphasize college students and military recruits, while ignoring untold millions of others who would also be covered under this bill?
Why don’t we ever hear them utter a word about the millions enrolled in our primary and secondary schools who would be legalized through the DREAM Act? In addition, wouldn’t their parents also be legalized? After all, we certainly can’t expect children age 12-17 to remain here on their path to citizenship unless their criminal parents also remain, now can we?
Why don’t they emphasize those in their 20’s and 30’s who are married with children, who would also qualify due to the 35 age limit? Oh, that’s right. . . . they were brought here by their parents. Someone 35 would have to have been here for 20 years due to the requirement that one must have entered prior to age 16. So, in 20 years they were unable to change their status or attend college? Well, that's just too bad.
Why have DREAMies been instructed to send their baby pictures to members of Congress? I can hear them now, “Oh, look how cute he/she is. Surely, this innocent baby deserves a chance.” Mind you, these DREAMie “babies” are now in their 20’s and 30’s.
On Tuesday, the DREAM Act peddlers touted this bill as being the answer to every recruiter’s prayer. When in reality, all branches have met or surpassed their quotas. They aren’t hurting for recruits. More importantly, a large segment of the DREAMie population would be ineligible due to age limits. DREAMies over the age of 28 would be ineligible for the Air Force, Coast Guard, and the Marines. As a matter of fact, at the DREAMie age limit of 35, one can ONLY join the Army. Interesting.
If passed, not only would adults “DREAMies” be legalized, but also the parents of minor children -- the same parents who willfully violated our laws. Tell me this isn’t piecemeal amnesty. Tell me this isn’t total BS.

Because it's pretty logical to try to normalize the status of those fighting in wars and those that would increase the collective college attainment rate (there is a direct correlation between college attendance and competitiveness abroad).

This has nothing to do with the actual policy.

There is nothing about the actual policy, simply assumptions and speculations.

Again more speculation and assumptions. Nothing factual or actually dealing with the actual implications.

This is true. There has been an upswing in recruitment. However, if you increase the number of people, statistically you also increase the odds of getting more qualified candidates. When you open to more people, you can get a higher number of extremely qualified individuals.

Now the question becomes is that a bad thing? Not on a moral perspective, but rather on a policy perspective. If so, how would you change the proposed policy?
Military Service should be a mandatory requirement of citizenship for everyone. Anyone not willing to serve shouldn't get to vote
Isn't it mandatory for men in Israel ? Not a bad Idea for America's youth as it would give them discipline and open new doors for them.
But extremely difficult in this day of age with an obesity epidemic/out of shape Americans as it would make for a pathetic fighting force. I can hardly imagine some of the people you see every day who have difficulty walking around an air conditioned mall going on long marches or in combat.

Please define Everyone
or are you just referring to illegals seeking amnesty
