Ever since the DREAM ACT was first introduced, it has become the rallying cry for illegals hoping for amnesty. Frankly, I think our political system is so corrupt and so perverted that it is only a matter of time before the Dream ACT is enacted into law.
From my perspective, however, the majority of illegals have added nothing to American society and has, in fact ben a drag on it. Education has suffered because so many illegals in the classroom who can’t do the work have caused educational standards to repeatedly be lowered. State and local budgets have been impacted by the drain the illegals have placed on social services while contributing nothing.
I’m not condemning all of the. Some have made every effort possible to assimilate and become productive citizens. While I still think they need to be returned to their native countries and get back in line for immigration to the US, they might be worth a “speedpass”.
But, IMO, bottom line I think passage of the Dream Act is a matter of when, not if.
“From my perspective, however, the majority of illegals have added nothing to American society and has, in fact ben a drag on it.”
There is no question that that has been the case increasingly since Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration law from hell. The masses of people coming in now (both legal and illegal) are, overwhelmingly, third worlders who have a third-world mindset and will drag us in that direction. Certainly we are not getting the caliber of people that will help us compete with the Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese.
If they are illegal, send them home, I don’t care when they came here or under what circumstances. We can call them later if we decide that our population trajectory (305 million and climbing fast) isn’t going to swamp us fast enough as it is already.
