What should be done about the Children of Illegal Aliens? That is a difficult question for Congress. In some cases, kids who have lived in America most of their lives are being deported in immigration sweeps. Many are top students in school and completely American in almost every way.
Critics of the Dream Act say that it will encourage parents to bring their kids to America as illegal aliens so they can get the American dream illegally. What do you think?
The DREAM Act, a product of Liberals McCain and Ted Kennedy also grants illegal alien kids (NOT born in the USA) full scholarships and in-state tuition!!
It is an outrage! Did you know they tried to include the DREAM Act into the 2007 Bush-Kennedy amnesty, to make sure future illegal aliens who enter can also stay legally??
That goes to show you they KNEW their scam before they started it!

Excellent points, we have to be very careful. I think over the next few years Congress is going to try and give amnesty on a piecemeal basis. They will attach legislation to some spending bill or something, and the next thing you know we will have another one hundred million people here.

How can they be top students if they are the children of CRIMINAL parents? I bet they all cheated on their tests! Remember, modern science tells us that people are by nature lawbreakers or law abiders. A wolf can wear sheep's clothing... but he's still a wolf.
They should be deported along with their parents, because they committed the CRIME of being born to CRIMINALS; even if this destroys their future. In fact, they ought to be sent off to forced-labor camps in Alaska before being deported, so they’ll pay their dues for the “education” they got in AMERICAN schools; which, I might add, was paid for with the taxes of all the decent, law-abiding Americans who were forced to hire their parents and to purchase their cheaper, illegal immigrant labor-derived products and services. Oh, and then, instead of being sent back to their homeland all comfy on a bus, they should be made to cross the desert on their way back, barefooted and without water or sombreros, and with a group of Minutemen herding them back and making sure they don’t try to escape.
Children born in America are Americans. This situation will continue to get worse until the border is secured. Secure the border first, then arrest all of those who are here illegally and give them the choice to go to prison or go home. Most of the ones who are legal were illegal in the first place. No more amnesty for anybody. Securing the border will slow down the flow of drugs. Do you ever wonder how many of our elected officials are in the drug business. I hope none, but I have wondered.

Good post, although I wouldn't intern them in Alaska. It would be too expensive to send them up there and they would ruin the state.

I think this is a cleverly baited little hook for the nativists and racists. Judging by your other comments on immigration, I'd guess this post was written ironically. However, considering some of the types of people on here, you never know...
There is NO reason go grant citizenship to babies born in the USA of NON-citizens. To be a citizen of this country, you should either be born of parents who are citizens themselves, or grow up in your native country and apply to immigrate here legally and become a citizen right afterwards. There should be a time limit on 1) learning to speak ENGLISH, and 2) getting your citizenship.

Agreed, and with the new Bush appointments the conservative SCOTUS may be just a ruling away from reinterpreting the 14TH amendment to say just that.

This is very harsh thing to say!! I'm a illegal immigrant! My visa expired 3 years ago! My parents are also illegal but they have social security numbers and work legally but they are not legal residents and i dont have a SSN. I guess you can say they are "criminals". But don't call me a criminal because i had no choice in coming to America! If i understood the laws of this country as a 10 year old i would not have wanted to come here and be called a "criminal". Its too late for me to back, I have a vocabulary of 4th grader back in my country and my writing isn't that good either. I was never enforced to kepp learning my language, my parents' main concern was for me to learn english. Now i'm a Junior in high school. I DO NOT CHEAT ON TESTS. I have a 4.0! Dream of becoming a pharmacist! I do a lot of tutoring on my own time for friends and kids that struggle with school! So don't call me a cheater and a criminal because i DO the opposite! Teachers love me!! They think I have a bright future and is a great role model! Being Illegal bothers everyday...sometimes i want to go back to my country despite of what awaits for me. I have such guilt because of the future my parents have chosen for me! if we had stayed in our country I would've also been a great and intelligent student. Its worse for children that came to the country younger than me...growing up being called a criminal without the understanding of why! Kids shouldnt be punished for what their parents did! Remember we were never given a choice! If American Schools gave illegal children the option to pay for their education I would rather pay than being a society problem!
