And I'm offering what "could" be acceptable approaches INSTEAD OF the "Dream Act". Just because someone happens to disagree with your position doesn't mean they "live in a dream world".
As to the rest of your post, you're not telling me anything I don't already know. I probably know as much about the immigration situation as you, and I'm probably in agreement with you on 90+% or more. But I'm willing to accept "some" leeway. Close the border (and if that means a land-mine laden five-mile wide strip from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Pacific Ocean, fine). Make it virtually impossible to get work by actually CHECKING their documentation, and send any business owner who knowingly hired them TO JAIL. And deport'em if they are caught in any legal infraction.
Acceptble to whom? You are an amnesty supporter. Do you also support in-state tution for illegals? It is easy to be compassionate and generous with other people's money. Conservative estimates place the costs of illegal immigration at $113 billion and that only includes education, incarceration, and health care costs.
Where is the sense of fairness for American children who may lose places in universities due to illegals? The vast majority of illegals are minorities entitled to such things as affirmative action. Read the article below about the real world where I live.

Don't flatter yourself. This issue is my fulltime passion 24/7 365 days of the year. I am involved legislatively and with other immigration organizations like NumbersUSA, CIS, FAIR, and the Tea Party movement. I will match my knowledege with yours anytime. People who really know the issue don't make statements like yours.
