"We're not asking for a free pass, all I'm asking for is sharing with you the American dream," Ortega, an 18-year-old University of Washington student, told lawmakers in the House Higher Education Committee.

Mr. Ortega, so are thousands of non-resident undergraduates from elsewhere in the United States, as well as thousands of foreign national students who have chosen to act in a lawful manner.

Of course, you think that you are sufficiently privileged to cut in line.

Sharing is a two way street, not a one way free lunch. What does Ortega bring besides being the offspring of law breaking parents? Hey, I know, let’s offer the same deal to offspring of anyone found to be in violation of U.S. Federal Law.

“”We’re not asking for a free pass, all I’m asking for is sharing with you the American dream,””

I think many ‘immigrants’ believe Americans just get ‘handed’ this so called ‘American Dream’. As much as anything else, the ‘American dream’ is hard work, sacrifice and obeying the rules! It was for my family, still is.

GO HOME, alien.
