Program opens a world of opportunity [McCain meets with "migrant" children] [DREAM Act alert]

Students spent a week visiting national monuments, learning how democratic institutions function. They also met with Rep. Ed Pastor, D-Ariz., and U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

"She's a very bright student and her sister, Julieta, went last year," Cruz said. "Close-Up gives students the chance to open their eyes to other lifestyles and the variety of opportunities available in other parts of the country."

While in Washington, D.C., in mid-June, Ariana visited the Capitol buildings where students had workshops on how a bill becomes a law. She says she "fell in love" with the city and she wants to prepare for a career in politics.

"It was really life changing," Ariana said. "They explained about the Dream Act, which provides money for college, the No Child Left Behind Act and the reason for reforming immigration."

She went on to explain that given the choice of having immigration as a trickle of water or a waterfall, she would want neither. Ariana stressed she does not support open borders but says becoming a documented citizen should not be as difficult as it is now.

To qualify for Migrant Education Program, Ariana has maintained a 3.8 grade-point average, received a letter of recommendation from Yuma High School Principal Steve Pallack and wrote an essay on what it means to be an immigrant, which she noted, requires a lot of sacrifice from family for her to succeed. Yet, she quickly adds, their efforts bring them closer together.

Ariana is also involved with the Young Democratic Club at school and volunteered at the Democratic Party of Yuma headquarters, canvassing voters on behalf of the Obama campaign last fall.

She went on to explain that given the choice of having immigration as a trickle of water or a waterfall, she would want neither. Ariana stressed she does not support open borders but says becoming a documented citizen should not be as difficult as it is now.

Ariana is half right, here. The part that she neglects, however, is that America is founded upon the rule of law: no individual, regardless of sex, age, or skin color is above the law; and that no individual can be held liable for the crimes of another. And, in accordance with the rule of law, the DREAM Act is wholly improper as it gives foreign nationals who illegally migrated to the United States the ability to cut in line ahead of foreign nationals who did not do so and now desire to study in the United States.
