Opinion of the DREAM act

[Sbane]

DREAM Act

I support it of course and think it should be passed immediately.

[Lief 🗽]

Very favorable (not a xenophobe)

[Marokai Backbeat]

I really don't see the problem with it at all. If anything it should be broader. Reading the initial paragraph(s) in the Wikipedia article is some of the most convoluted steps I've ever seen. It's perhaps the most drawn out situational process ever and I can't imagine how anyone could think it's some big giveaway or something.

In other words:

Very favorable (not a xenophobe)

[dead0man]

I'll go with Somewhat Favorable.

[patrick1]

Very favorable.

[Mint]

Not favorable.

[minionofmidas]

Very favorable, except for the name. The name is execrable.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Very favorable

Without reading the whole Wiki article, who pays for the education that's required?

The working class pays for everything, GG.  Don't you know?  They paid for your gay goose.

Anyway I support this act, which is opposed by racists and xenophobes as I pointed out in another thread.  (I think it is much more about racism than xenophobia, after all.  these republicans don't have a huge problem with Israelis or British, just darks).

I wish they'd pay quicker......I'm getting low. 

[Dr. Cynic]

I have no problem with it.

[memphis]

Awful. We need a shadowy underclass with no legitimate options.

That and how it's what, people ages 12 to 35 we're going let in under this? And how exactly are these people going to verify they were here anyway? I'd be less opposed to this if every time we granted some kind of 'conditional amnesty' plan we weren't back where we started in terms of migrants except worse off. The only argument I really see in favor here is that a lot of these people do in fact pay taxes...

Although maybe I could live with a huge amnesty plan if it pissed off enough people and got us to impose a moratorium as we processed everyone and actually started enforcing our laws, but that's a big if.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Somewhat favorable.

I am 100% for an option that not only creates a legal status but also offers citizenship to those who risk their lives in defense of America when so many of our actual citizens, myself included, have chosen not to.

On the other hand, I'm not favorable to the idea of throwing in the college education aspect along with it.  Someone who spends four (or more) years of their life listening to and pleasing Marxist anti-American professors should probably be disqualified from citizenship and deported immediately.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Hmm, so...

Murdering people on behalf of the State = good.

Getting an education = bad.


Basically sums up the mentality of the Bush Republican.

Don, real moderates don't consider a college education to be Marxist brainwashing.

So you're for the DREAM Act, right?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

a good idea in general. I'm not sure about the mechanism.
those who serve in the military or firemen or something like that should definitely be given priority. i don't think the college education requirement makes sense - why would that be prioritized over work experience?

I don't believe I said that, no. Please don't put words in my mouth.

What you have espoused here, however, is clearly an extremist worldview.

[Frink]

Very favorable.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

My problem is that it will effectively force many illegals to join the military in order to become citizens, which is disgusting. As if it was even their choice to come here as little kids, there should be a fairly lax amnesty for everyone under the age of 18 that is here illegally. Maybe there should be a requirement that they have to get their high school diploma or GED in order to become citizens. That's as harsh as it should get.
