President Obama

President Obama and Organizing for America are throwing their weight behind the DREAM Act. The President wants Congress to deliver him a bill to sign authorizing the DREAM Act before the end of the year — meaning the bill now has the support of the President, Senate majority leader Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Defense Secretary Gates, Representatives and Senators on both sides of the aisle and a majority of the American public.

But there are still obstructionist Republicans, who don’t think immigrants should be able to go to college or serve our country – and we need to break their filibuster. Make a call for the DREAM Act and tell the Senators on the fence that they need to support this popular and important bill as a first step on the way to comprehensive immigration reform.

    I am offended that they would consider going to college the equal of serving in the military, where they would earn money to go to college. This law is poorly written and conceived.

    Thank you, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and President Barrack Obama, this bill will give status to undocumented children who are now sitting in our US classrooms learning our language, the pledge of legions, our history and adopting our culture. It is for those who have gone through our schools and are now being taught by our finest public teachers. The teachers who have spent countless hours teaching a foreign student how to read, how to not be afraid, how to stand up and ask for help, how to care and share for others sake. All of the children from different ethnicities, ranging from kinder to high school. Someone who you probably have met as an adult now and never knew their limbo immigration status. We are america and we live in America, we will prosper with more documented, educated children, BE CAUSE ALL CHILDREN RESIDING IN THE USA ARE OUR FUTURE. The time and energy we invest in them will be its own gratification in the future. Don’t let our graduates turn to crime, its the people’s responsibility to do a good thing for its own community, give these undocumented people an opportunity to be documented as somebody? Are we not in the country where its heart is as big as its state and where we Stand United to help the ones in need who were at no fault, 65k graduate every year, America’s history is based solely immigrants, incuding those who formed the 13 colonies. – I am being deported, lived here since 1973 and being torn apart from my family by my own community, I cannot pretend it’s not hurting. I started at kinder, learned the language, history, culture and passed what I learned to my us citizen children. My single parent disconnected from everyone in her family, then later passed away. I have sufferred in ways at the hands of many of those who knew I was undocumented, young and all alone with nowhere to call home. Please don’t give up help pass dream act for the children who are here now.

    To those who think illegals are bad, please think how different they are from you. They go to school with you. They are the people you say hello to everyday. They are the people you are friends with. Also, they may be your lovers. I really doubt that you ask your lover for his/her social#. By giving them an equal chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with us we will have peace, unity, security, and more people that can contribute to our country. They will pay taxes just like us. They will share their knowledge with us. They will open more businesses. They will stop sending money over seas. Instead they will help boost certain industries and sectors of our economy that are suffering. Immigration reform or Dream Act are the solution for our failing economy.

    One small fact. Please do realize that they don’t leave their home countries to come to the US because they have a beautiful livelihood at their home country and looking for a challenge in life. They come here illegally because survival is a lot tougher than you can imagine in countries that do not uphold the law. Or protect one person rights. America is the land of opportunity. Let’s show that it still is!
