Obama’s Cinco de Mayo wish: Signing the DREAM Act
Yahoo! News ^ | May 3, 2012 | Olivier Knox

President Barack Obama hosted a Cinco de Mayo party at the White House -- "even though it's only tres de mayo, we just like to get the fiesta started early around here" -- and promised to push for a comprehensive overhaul of America's immigration policies if he's reelected.

"There's still plenty of unfinished business, including fixing our broken immigration system," he said. "It's long past the time that we unleash the promise of all our young people and make the DREAM Act a reality."

Mitt Romney has vowed to veto the legislation, which would allow some undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children to stay on American soil legally, provided they have a clean record and graduate from high school or serve in the military. Republican Senator Marco Rubio has also pushed a version of the measure that would provide temporary, non-immigrant visas.

"No is not an option, I want to sign the DREAM Act into law!" Obama said. "I've got the pens all ready, I'm willing to work with anybody who's serious to get this done, and to achieve bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform that solves this challenge once and for all."

If he does, and makes a speech, I bet he’ll say something about May 5th as a day of Mexican independence, which it is not.

Obama keeps injecting military service and at the same time back in Jan 2012 (Reuters) - The Obama administration will unveil a “more realistic” vision for the military on Thursday, with plans to cut tens of thousands of ground troops and invest more in air and sea power at a time of fiscal restraint, officials familiar with the plans said on Wednesday.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/04/us-usa-military-obama-idUSTRE8031Z020120104
The dream act only requires 2 years of military service,citizens are required to start at 4 years. If one cannot legally work why are they being sent to college? The Dream Act rewards individuals for breaking the law. It’s no different that if I were to rob a bank and not get caught for 20 years. Should I be allowed to keep the money and not face any jail time because I have become a model citizen in the meantime?
