Dream9 Reloaded: Now 30 Will Attempt To Reenter The U.S. Without Documents

About two months after nine DREAMers either left the country voluntarily or were deported then tried to cross the border to protest U.S. immigration laws, 30 others will make the same attempt next Monday, an immigration advocacy group said.

The National Immigrant Youth Alliance, which coordinated the summer crossing in which the so-called DREAM9 asked for political asylum, said in a press release that 29 people from Mexico and one from Peru will seek to enter the United States.

Obviously this is theater and they’re looking to make further mockery of U.S. immigration laws,” said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which pushes for strict immigration policies. “They’re going back to a country they say they’re being persecuted in only to request political asylum. They’re taking something from U.S. immigration policy – political asylum -- that is reserved for humanitarian purposes and using it to create some kind of street theater for their own political agenda.”

And that sums it up very well...

And their point is what - that the United States has no right to borders or to have a system of laws which define naturalization?

We’re all sorry their parents are criminals who thought they could game the U.S. system.

Doesn’t mean we should give in.

Invasion is not a civil right.

I am SO SICK of these demanding parasitical bastards.

Nature provides a parallel that is especially instructive. (And insight into why so many schools in southern California and elsewhere are so bad.)

Some species of birds thrive not by carefully rearing their own young, but by pawning that task off on adults of other species. The Cuckoo is the bird in which this habit has been most thoroughly studied. Female Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other species of birds. A cuckoo egg usually closely mimics the eggs of the host (one of whose eggs is often removed by the cuckoo).

The host may recognize the intruding egg and abandon the nest, or it may incubate and hatch the cuckoo egg. Shortly after hatching, the young European Cuckoo, using a scoop-like depression on its back, instinctively shoves over the edge of the nest any solid object that it contacts. With the disappearance of their eggs and rightful young, the foster parents are free to devote all of their care to the young cuckoo. Frequently this is an awesome task, since the cuckoo chick often grows much larger than the host adults long before it can care for itself. One of the tragicomic scenes in nature is a pair of small foster parents working like Sisyphus to keep up with the voracious appetite of an outsized young cuckoo.
