A lot of people believe that DREAMers shouldn’t be punished…but that they shouldn’t be rewarded either. They say DREAMers cut in front of the line. Their solution is to have DREAMers be sent “back” to the country that they are from, and then wait to come here.

Rewarding illegal immigrants

REACTION: Senate DREAM Act hearing
Today marked the first ever DREAM Act hearing in a Senate committee floor. This is supposedly a big deal. Much of what I heard was the same ol’ same ol’ about how great the DREAM Act is and everything.
Pictured: awesomeness
I’m beginning to feel like we’re going to lose the information battle due to ad nauseum. The mor [...]
Dear My Country
Dear rest of America
Stop using immigrants as scapegoats for all of your problems.
Even the “illegal” ones.
You’ve been down this road before.
And before.
And you’re not the only ones.
And the arguments are baseless…
…and misinformed.
I know this sentiment does not represent all of us, if even MOST [...]
VIDEO: “Deporter in Chief”...

Appeal to law fallacy
When ‘illegal is illegal’ simply doesn’t fly.
One of the most upsetting types of people to deal with in any kind of debate are those who hang onto logically fallacious mantras.
Hey, I’m all for a good slogan or two, but how about one that makes sense? Simply saying “ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL” does not justify inhu [...]
Listen to my Dream
What would it take for others to listen?
What would it take for listeners to answer?
Am I unimportant, do I not matter?
Where would life have me, had I been born north of the Border?
Would I be flying planes in the Air Force?
An A-10, that was my dream plane growing up.
The Warthog was its name,
It was the ugliest thing on wings!
No one respe [...]
“Do it the legal way” is ...
There’s a saying that goes “Be nice to everyone, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle.” Every second the DREAM Act is not passed, DREAMers are being deported and others still continue to suffer needlessly in the shadows under the spiteful foot of American nationalist complacency.
There is no doubt that one of the big [...]
OPINION: Americans have a choice in h...
Undocumented sounds like an ideal libertarian situation. Free from the death-grip of bureaucratic inefficiency. But when you’re trying to make it as a student, it’s a huge hurdle. It’s even more disparaging when you realize, you never asked to be off the grid.
Americans essentially have a choice. They can accept that the Uni [...]
I kept DREAMing…
“Mijo, aquí, todo tus sueños se hacen real.” All your dreams will come true. My dad said it with such conviction. How could it be otherwise? I was two. From then on, all I did was dream.
I dreamt I was a fireman saving everyone from a burning building, thus establishing myself as a brave, fearless hero.
I dreamt I was a scuba diver fighting s [...]
“Got dream?” campaign a h...
In less than 48 hours, the campaign already has over 1000 likes.
The premise is simple: You upload or e-mail a picture of yourself that you feel represents your story. Some photoshopping magic later, your image is re-posted on the group’s facebook wall with the trademark theme of the cause: black and white with the phrase “got dr [...]
